RNA-seq experiment of Drosophila melanogaster larvae reared on Aspergillus nidulans infested breeding substrate


ABSTRACT: Drosophila melanogaster larvae and filamentous fungi both utilise organic material. Here they compete for resources. Filamentous fungi can defend themselves and their substrate from predation respectively competition by the production and excretion of secondary metabolites, including substances with antibiotic and insecticidal properties. To analyse the traits that enables D. melanogaster larvae to reduce the harmful effects of fungal secondary metabolites and to develop on fungal infested substrate we confronted larvae with a toxin-producing wild type of Aspergillus nidulans, with a toxin-production-impaired mutant strain of A. nidulans, and with sterigmatocystin, a highly toxic metabolite of A. nidulans. Early first instar larvae were transferred to breeding substrate inhabited by fungal colonies respectively inoculated with the purified mycotoxin or controls. After 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours of confrontation larvae were collected and samples prepared for whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing.
