Symbiotic bacterial community of Drosophila melanogaster changes with nutritional modifications of the diet but can alleviate negative effects on larval phenotypes

This study shows that dietary changes in Drosophila melanogaster alter their gut microbiota composition and can be mitigated by symbiotic bacteria, improving larval survival and reducing triglyceride levels.

Influence of the lab adopted natural diet and environmental and parental microbiota on life history and metabolic phenotype of Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

This study examines how natural diet, environmental, and parental microbiota influence obesity-related traits in Drosophila larvae, showing significant differences in phenotypes based on diet and microbial exposure.
