Long Term Dietary Shift. insect gut metagenome

Raw 16S rRNA sequences from the hindgut microbiota of Periplaneta americana. P. americana were raised in the laboratory on a diet of dog food (time zero) and then received a dietary perturbation for up to 90-days. Treatments included dog food, starvation, bran, filter paper, butter, tuna, and white flour. Time points were taken, as available, at 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 60, and 90 days after the initial dietary shift.
