The citrus fruit fly Bactrocera minax is associated with diverse bacterial communities. We used a 454 pyrosequencing technology to study in depth the microbial communities associated with gut and reproductive organs of Bactrocera minax. Our dataset consisted of 100,749 reads with an average length of 400 bp. The saturated rarefaction curves and species richness indices indicate that the sampling was comprehensive. We found highly diverse bacterial communities, with individual sample containing approximately 361 microbial operational taxonomic units (OTUs). A total of 17 bacterial phyla were obtained from the flies. A phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA revealed that Proteobacteria was dominant in all samples (75%-95%). Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were also commonly found in the total clones. Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, and Serratia were the major genera. However, bacterial diversity (Chao1, Shannon and Simpson indices) and community structure (PCA analysis) varied across samples. Female ovary has the most diverse bacteria, followed by male testis, and the bacteria diversity of reproductive organs is richer than that of the gut. The observed variation can be caused by sex and tissue, possibly to meet the host's physiological demands.
柑桔大实蝇(Bactrocera minax)与多种细菌群落相关。我们使用454焦磷酸测序技术深入研究了柑桔大实蝇肠道和生殖器官相关的微生物群落。我们的数据集由100749条读数组成,平均长度为400 bp。饱和稀释曲线和物种丰富度指数表明采样是全面的。我们发现细菌群落高度多样,单个样本包含约361个微生物操作分类单元(OTU)。从果蝇中总共获得了17个细菌门。对16S rDNA的系统发育分析表明,变形菌门在所有样本中占主导地位(75%-95%)。放线菌门和厚壁菌门在总克隆中也普遍存在。克雷伯氏菌属、柠檬酸杆菌属、肠杆菌属和沙雷氏菌属是主要的属。然而,细菌多样性(Chao1、香农和辛普森指数)和群落结构(主成分分析)在不同样本中有所不同。雌性卵巢中的细菌种类最多,其次是雄性睾丸,生殖器官中的细菌多样性比肠道更丰富。观察到的变异可能由性别和组织引起,可能是为了满足宿主的生理需求。
