To investigate whether symbiont infection is structured by host plant in the polyphagous aphid Aphis craccivora Koch, 454 pyrosequencing was performed on pooled aphid populations from two different host plants, alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). Results indicated that Aphis craccivora harbors distinctly different microbial communities in alfalfa versus locust. The facultative symbiont Hamiltonella was found only in aphids collected from alfalfa, and the facultative symbiont Arsenophonus was found only in aphids from locust.
It is recommended to cite the accession numbers that are assigned to data submissions, e.g. the GenBank, WGS or SRA accession numbers. If individual BioProjects need to be referenced, state that "The data have been deposited with links to BioProject accession number PRJNA185205 in the NCBI BioProject database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/)."
