8-HQA Adjusts the Number and Diversity of Bacteria in the Gut Microbiome of Spodoptera littoralis

T. Mazumdar, S. Haenniger, S. Shukla, A. Murali, S. Bartram, D. G. Heckel, W. Boland

The paper investigates how 8-HQA affects gut bacterial communities in Spodoptera littoralis larvae by altering metal ion concentrations, showing increased bacterial numbers and diversity when 8-HQA is absent.
