Newly emerged workers were placed into experimental treatments (nurses present vs. not present, artificial vs. natural food) and were aged for 3 days or 7 days. The guts of these workers (not including the crop) was then dissected out, DNA was extracted, and the 16S rRNA gene was amplified from the microbial population in each sample.
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 PRJNA280748 in the NCBI BioProject database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/)."
