Flourishing in Filth: House Fly–Microbe Interactions Across Life History

2019-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Larval house flies, Musca domestica (L.), nutritionally require live bacteria; therefore, all stadia are associated with microbe-rich environments. Larvae live among and ingest bacteria, which are digested via the combined activity of digestive enzymes, lysozyme, and antimicrobial effectors. Some bacteria resist digestion and subsequent proteolytic processes that occur during metamorphosis, and are carried trans-s...
