Associations of Yeasts with Spotted-Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii; Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Cherries and Raspberries
Copyright policy )Associations of Yeasts with Spotted-Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii; Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Cherries and Raspberries
ABSTRACTA rich history of investigation documents variousDrosophila-yeast mutualisms, suggesting thatDrosophila suzukiisimilarly has an association with a specific yeast species or community. To discover candidate yeast species, yeasts were isolated from larval frass, adult midguts, and fruit hosts ofD. suzukii. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) technology and decimal dilution plating were used to identify and determine the relative abundance of yeast species present in fruit juice samples that were either infested withD. suzukiior not infested. Yeasts were less abundant in uninfested than infested samples. A total of 126 independent yeast isolates were cultivated from frass, midguts, and fruit hosts ofD. suzukii, representing 28 species of yeasts, withHanseniaspora uvarumpredominating. This suggests an association betweenD. suzukiiandH. uvarumthat could be utilized for pest management of the highly pestiferousD. suzukii.
