Data from: Impact of larval food source on the stability of the Bactrocera dorsalis microbiome

We conducted a fly rearing experiment to characterize diet-induced changes in the microbiome of female Bactrocera dorsalis. In order to explicitly investigate the impacts of larval diet on the microbiome, including potential stable bacterial constituents of B. dorsalis, we performed 16S rRNA sequencing on the gut tissues of teneral female flies reared from 4 different host fruits (guava, mango, papaya, and rose-apple) infested using a single cohort of wild B. dorsalis that emerged from tropical almond (mother flies). We provide processed data and R code for our analysis.

Raw data (.fastq files) for analysis are located at NCBI SRA under accession number PRJNA1061202
