Abstract
Background: The gut of most insects harbours nonpathogenic microorganisms. Recent work suggests that gut microbiota
not only provide nutrients, but also involve in the development and maintenance of the host immune system. However, the
complexity, dynamics and types of interactions between the insect hosts and their gut microbiota are far from being well
understood.
Methods/Principal Findings: To determine the composition of the gut microbiota of two lepidopteran pests, Spodoptera
littoralis and Helicoverpa armigera, we applied cultivation-independent techniques based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and
microarray. The two insect species were very similar regarding high abundant bacterial families. Different bacteria colonize
different niches within the gut. A core community, consisting of Enterococci, Lactobacilli, Clostridia, etc. was revealed in the
insect larvae. These bacteria are constantly present in the digestion tract at relatively high frequency despite that
developmental stage and diet had a great impact on shaping the bacterial communities. Some low-abundant species might
become dominant upon loading external disturbances; the core community, however, did not change significantly. Clearly
the insect gut selects for particular bacterial phylotypes.
