This study aimed to examine the bacterial, methanogenic archaeal, and eukaryotic community structure in both the midgut and hindgut of Pachnoda marginata larvae using an amplicon sequencing approach. The goal was to investigate how various diets and the soil affect the composition of these three-domain microbial communities within the gut of insect larvae. The results indicated a notable variation in the microbial community composition among the gut compartments. The majority of the bacterial community in the hindgut was composed of Ruminococcaceae and Christensenellaceae. Nocardiaceae, Microbacteriaceae, and Lachnospiraceae were detected in midgut samples from larvae feeding on the leaf diet, whereas Sphingomonadaceae, Rhodobacteraceae, and Promicromonasporaceae dominated the bacterial community of midgut of larvae feeding on the straw diet. The diet was a significant factor that influenced the methanogenic archaeal and eukaryotic community patterns. The methanogenic communities in the two gut compartments significantly differed from each other, with the midgut communities being more similar to those in the soil. A higher diversity of methanogens was observed in the midgut samples of both diets compared to the hindgut. Overall, the microbiota of the hindgut was more host-specific, while the assembly of the midgut was more influenced by the environmental microorganisms.
本研究旨在通过扩增子测序方法研究 Pachnoda marginata 幼虫中肠和后肠中的细菌、产甲烷古菌和真核生物群落结构。目的是研究不同的饮食和土壤如何影响昆虫幼虫肠道内这三个域微生物群落的组成。结果表明,肠道各部位的微生物群落组成存在明显差异。后肠的大多数细菌群落由瘤胃球菌科和 Christensenellaceae 组成。在以树叶为食的幼虫的中肠样本中检测到诺卡氏菌科、微杆菌科和lachnospiraceae,而以稻草为食的幼虫的中肠细菌群落则以鞘氨醇单胞菌科、红杆菌科和 Promicromonasporaceae 为主。饮食是影响产甲烷古菌和真核生物群落模式的重要因素。两个肠道部位的产甲烷古菌群落差异显著,中肠群落与土壤中的群落更为相似。与后肠相比,两种饮食的中肠样本中观察到更多种类的产甲烷菌。总的来说,后肠的微生物群更具宿主特异性,而中肠的组装则更多地受到环境微生物的影响。
