Fig. 1

Lactobacillus plantarum and A. pomorum are present on the surface of D. melanogaster. Upon streaking D. melanogaster on an MRS plate. Two types of heaps of bacteria were observed (A). We isolated single colonies that were white or beige (B). After sequencing the 16S rDNA, the white colonies were identified as L. plantarum (Lpla) and the beige colonies as A. pomorum (Apom). Under the microscope, both bacteria are rode shaped [L. plantarum (C). A. pomorum (D)]
