Spodoptera frugiperda is an important invasive agricultural pest that causes huge economic losses worldwide. Gut microorganisms play a vital role in host feeding, digestion, nutrition, immunity, growth and insecticide resistance. Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to study the gut microbial community dynamics across the life cycle (egg, 1st to 6th instar larvae, pupae, and male and female adults) of S. frugiperda fed on maize leaves. Furthermore, the gut microbial community and food intake of the 5th instar S. frugiperda larvae were studied after feeding them antibiotics.

草地贪夜蛾整个生命周期的肠道菌群动态及其对幼虫摄食和生长的影响

草地贪夜蛾(Spodoptera frugiperda )是一种重要的农业入侵害虫，在全球范围内造成巨大的经济损失。肠道微生物在宿主摄食、消化、营养、免疫、生长和杀虫剂抗性方面起着至关重要的作用。Illumina 高通量测序用于研究以玉米叶为食的草地夜蛾整个生命周期（卵、1 至 6 龄幼虫、蛹以及雄性和雌性成虫）的肠道微生物群落动态。此外，还研究了 5 龄S. frugiperda幼虫在喂食抗生素后的肠道微生物群落和食物摄入量。
