Bacterial communities in bacteriomes, ovaries and testes of three geographical populations of a sap-feeding insect

The objectives of this research were (1) to classify the symbionts harbored in the bacteriomes and reproductive organs of P. kaempferi from different niches, (2) to compare the similarity of bacterial communities among different tissues, and (3) to uncover whether the bacterial communities in the bacteriomes and reproductive organs are related to the different geographic populations of this sap-feeding insect.
