BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH COPESTYLUM (DIPTERA, SYRPHIDAE) LARVAE AND THEIR CACTUS HOST ISOLATOCEREUS DUMORTIERI.

Bacteria associated with Copestylum (Diptera, Syrphidae) larvae and their cactus host Isolatocereus dumortieri.

We describe the gut bacterial diversity inhabiting two saprophagous syrphids and their breeding substrate (decayed tissues of the columnar cactus Isolatocereus dumortieri).We analyzed the gut microbiota of Copestylum latum (scooping larvae that feed on decayed cactus tissues) and Copestylum limbipenne (whose larvae can also feed on semiliquid tissu

Mettl3-m6A-Creb1 forms an intrinsic regulatory axis in maintaining iNKT cell pool and functional differentiation

Summary: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase Mettl3 is involved in conventional T cell immunity; however, its role in innate immune cells remains largely unknown.Here, we show that Mettl3 intrinsically regulates invariant natural killer T (iNKT) chainsaw file cell development and function in an m6A-dependent manner.Conditional ablation of Me
