Gut microbiome profiling of Drosophila populations that are reared on 4%, 10% and 27% yeast diets.

The aim of this project is to analyse the bacterial communities associated with flies that are maintained over multiple generations on three diets differing in the concentration of yeast (4%, 10%, 27% yeast). We performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on DNA obtained from dissected guts of six female and six male flies from three replicate populations for each food containing different yeast concentration.
