2021-03-19
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiota affects the physiology and metabolism of animals and its alteration can lead to diseases such as gut dysplasia or metabolic disorders. Several reports have shown that the immune system plays an important role in shaping both bacterial community composition and abundance in Drosophila , and that immune deficit, especially during aging, negatively affects microbiota richness and diversity.
