Figure 6. qPCR validation of eight differential gut bacterial genera in irradiated and control Aedes albopictus GT males. Panels (A-H) show the relative abundance of Delftia (A), Achromobacter (B), Leucobacter (C), Pseudomonas (D), Deinococcus (E), Stenotrophomonas (F), Comamonas (G), and Sphingobacterium (H) in the guts of irradiated and control males at different developmental stages (pupae, 1-day-old adults, and 7-day-old adults). Data are represented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance between irradiated and control groups is indicated (* indicates that P < 0.05, ** indicates that P < 0.01). P < 0.05 represents a statistically significant difference. SD: Standard deviation.
