Erratum: Rearing the Fruit Fly Drosophila melanogaster Under Axenic and Gnotobiotic Conditions

La maggior parte degli animali sono intimamente associati con i batteri ( &#39;microbiota&#39;) dalla nascita alla morte 1. I confronti di ( &#39;convenzionale&#39;) gli animali privi di microrganismi ( &#39;axeniche&#39;) e di microrganismi-associati hanno dimostrato microbi influenzano diversi aspetti della salute degli animali, tra cui metabolica, nutrizionale, vascolari, epatiche, respiratorio, immunologico, endocrino, e la funzione neurologica 2. La mosca della frutta Drosophila melanogaster è un modello chiave per comprendere molti di questi processi in presenza di microbi 3,4 e per studiare l&#39;influenza microbiota su 5,6 salute degli animali. Nessuna specie batterica è presente in ogni individuo ( &#39;core&#39;), ma Acetobacter e Lactobacillus specie numericamente dominano il microbiota di entrambi D. laboratorio-allevati e catturati in natura melanogaster. Altro Acetobacteraceae (compresi Komagataeibacter e Gluconobacter), Firmicutes (come Enterococcus e Leuconostoc), e Enterobacteriaceae sono sia spesso presente in individui Drosophila a bassa abbondanza, o irregolarmente presenti in grande abbondanza 7-12. Il microbiota di Drosophila e mammiferi è incostanti all&#39;interno e attraverso le generazioni 14,19. Microbiota incostanza può portare a rumore fenotipica quando si misurano i tratti microbiota-dipendente. Ad esempio, la memorizzazione Acetobacteraceae influenza lipidi (trigliceridi) in Drosophila 15-18. Se Acetobacteraceae sono più abbondanti nella mosche di una fiala che in un altro 19, mosche isogenici possono avere diversi fenotipi 20. Una soluzione per il problema del microbiota incostanza nei topi 14 è stato in pratica dal 1960, con l&#39;introduzione di una comunità definita di 8 specie microbiche dominanti per cuccioli di topo ogni nuova generazione (alterata Schaedler flora),assicurando che ogni cucciolo è esposto agli stessi membri chiave del microbiota del mouse. Questa pratica controlla per la composizione microbica anche quando il microbiota non è l&#39;obiettivo primario di studio 32, e imposta precedente per assicurare la presenza di microbi chiave in una varietà di condizioni sperimentali. Per definire l&#39;influenza dei microbi sulla Drosophila nutrizione, diversi protocolli per derivare linee di volo axenici sono state sviluppate, compresa ipoclorito dechorionation di embrioni (sia derivato de novo ogni generazione o mantenuta generationally mediante trasferimento diete sterili) e trattamento antibiotico 13. Ci sono benefici per diversi approcci, come la facilità e rapidità sia per il trattamento di antibiotici e di trasferimento seriale, contro un maggior controllo delle variabili confondenti con de novo dechorionation (ad esempio, la densità d&#39;uovo, i microbi contaminanti residui, fuori bersaglio effetti antibiotici). Indipendentemente dal metodo dipreparazione, introduzione di specie microbiche specificati axeniche embrioni permette cultura della Drosophila con definite le comunità ( &#39;gnotobiotic&#39;). In alternativa, mimando l&#39;uso di flora Schaedler, questa comunità potrebbe essere inoculato alle uova convenzionalmente stabilite (seguenti passaggi 6-7 solo) per assicurare la presenza di microbi trait-influenzano in ogni flacone ed evitare complicazioni del microbiota incostanza. Qui si descrive il protocollo per l&#39;allevamento axeniche e gnotobiotic Drosophila da de novo dechorionation di embrioni, e per confermare la presenza di introdotto o contaminazione microbica taxa.

rearing the fruit fly drosophila melanogaster under axenic and gnotobiotic conditions

The influence of microbes on myriad animal traits and behaviors has been increasingly recognized in recent years. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a model for understanding microbial interactions with animal hosts, facilitated by approaches to rear large sample sizes of Drosophila under microorganism-free (axenic) conditions, or with defined microbial communities (gnotobiotic). This work outlines a method for collection of Drosophila embryos, hypochlorite dechorionation and sterilization, and transfer to sterile diet. Sterilized embryos are transferred to sterile diet in 50 ml centrifuge tubes, and developing larvae and adults remain free of any exogenous microbes until the vials are opened. Alternatively, flies with a defined microbiota can be reared by inoculating sterile diet and embryos with microbial species of interest. We describe the introduction of 4 bacterial species to establish a representative gnotobiotic microbiota in Drosophila. Finally, we describe approaches for confirming bacterial community composition, including testing if axenic Drosophila remain bacteria-free into adulthood.

Allevamento di successo di mosche axeniche è confermata da isolamento di non CFU da homogenizations tutto il corpo di D. adulti melanogaster (figura 1). In alternativa, se l&#39;omogeneizzato placcato produce colonie, i flaconi sono contaminati e devono essere eliminati. Per mosche gnotobiotic, ciascuna delle quattro isolati batterici sono stati isolati da pool di 5 maschi adulti, dimostrando differenze CFU vitali totali associati con mosche adulte <st...

Rearing the Fruit Fly Drosophila melanogaster Under Axenic and Gnotobiotic Conditions

Un metodo per l&#39;allevamento di Drosophila melanogaster in condizioni axeniche e gnotobiotic è presentato. Fly embrioni vengono dechorionated in ipoclorito di sodio, trasferiti asetticamente alla dieta sterili, e allevati in contenitori chiusi. Inoculando dieta ed embrioni con i batteri porta ad associazioni gnotobiotic, e la presenza di batteri è confermata dalla placcatura di tutto il corpo omogenati Drosophila.
