The diet conditions of dung beetles influence the changes in gut microbes

Abstract excerpt

Using 16S rRNA sequencing, we investigated the gut microbial diversity, variability, and functional prediction of gut microbes in dung beetles in starvation and heavy diet states. The results showed that the gut microflora was richer in the re-eating state than in the starving state. The dominant flora at the phylum level for the starvation and re-diet states are Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, but the proportions are...
