Figure 5. LDA of the cultivable gut-associated bacterial species of Aedes albopictus GT male mosquitoes with and without irradiation. (A) Indicator bacteria with LDA scores of 2 or greater in bacterial communities associated with male mosquito guts in irradiated and control groups; (B) Comparison of genus-level relative abundance between irradiated and control groups; (C) Comparison of genus-level relative abundance between irradiated and control pupae; (D) Comparison of genus-level relative abundance between irradiated and control one-day-old adults; (E) Comparison of genus-level relative abundance between irradiated and control seven-day-old adults; (F) Line chart showing the dynamic changes in the relative abundance of bacterial genera that were significantly different between irradiated and control samples and successfully isolated through culture-based methods at different ages. Statistical significance in panels (B-E) was assessed using the two-tailed Mann-Whitney test. Data in panel (F) are presented as mean ± SD. SD: Standard deviation; LDA: linear discriminant analysis.
