Microbial Quantity Impacts Drosophila Nutrition, Development, and Lifespan
Summary: In Drosophila, microbial association can promote development or extend life. We tested the impact of microbial association during malnutrition and show that microbial quantity is a predictor of fly longevity. Although all tested microbes, when abundantly provided, can rescue lifespan on low...
