Abstract excerpt
The dietary nutrient composition can affect insects' phenotypes by modulating their physiology. Furthermore, diet can affect gut microbiota composition and abundance, with indirect consequences for the host. In this study, we reared Drosophila melanogaster on five different diets; three with balanced sugar:yeast ratio, but with increasing caloric content (2:2, 8:8, 16:16, in weight %), and two with imbalanced...
