Microbiota-Induced Changes in Drosophila melanogaster Host Gene Expression and Gut Morphology
UNLABELLED To elucidate mechanisms underlying the complex relationships between a host and its microbiota, we used the genetically tractable model Drosophila melanogaster. Consistent with previous studies, the microbiota was simple in composition and diversity. However, analysis of single flies revealed high interfly variability that correlated with differences in feeding. To understand the eff...
متن کاملThe Drosophila melanogaster Gut Microbiota Provisions Thiamine to Its Host
The microbiota of Drosophila melanogaster has a substantial impact on host physiology and nutrition. Some effects may involve vitamin provisioning, but the relationships between microbe-derived vitamins, diet, and host health remain to be established systematically. We explored the contribution of microbiota in supplying sufficient dietary thiamine (vitamin B1) to support D. melanogaster at dif...
متن کاملStudying host-microbiota interactions in Drosophila melanogaster.
In this issue of Biomedical Journal, two reviews show the power of Drosophila melanogaster as an animal model to study the complex relationships between host and gut microbiota. The first review has been written by Dr. Jean‐Marc Reihhart and colleagues on “The multilayered innate immune de‐ fense of the gut.” The second one was contributed by Dr. François Leulier and his collaborators on “Study...
متن کاملStable Host Gene Expression in the Gut of Adult Drosophila melanogaster with Different Bacterial Mono-Associations
There is growing evidence that the microbes found in the digestive tracts of animals influence host biology, but we still do not understand how they accomplish this. Here, we evaluated how different microbial species commonly associated with laboratory-reared Drosophila melanogaster impact host biology at the level of gene expression in the dissected adult gut and in the entire adult organism. ...
متن کاملHost-microbe interactions in the gut of Drosophila melanogaster
Many insect species subsist on decaying and contaminated matter and are thus exposed to large quantities of microorganisms. To control beneficial commensals and combat infectious pathogens, insects must be armed with efficient systems for microbial recognition, signaling pathways, and effector molecules. The molecular mechanisms regulating these host-microbe interactions in insects have been la...
