Fig. 3From: Flow cytometry analysis of the microbiota associated with the midguts of vector mosquitoesFlow cytometric analysis of midgut homogenate in the blood fed mosquito. a Total FCM collection depicted in SSC vs FSC plot, showing a large population of events with low FSC and SSC, and a smaller population accounting for 3–4 % with higher FSC and SSC. b SYBR vs PI dot plot of low FSC and SSC population, showing four distinct populations depending up on their fluorescein characteristics. c SYBR vs IP dot plot of low FSC and SSC population in aseptic mosquito treated with a cocktail of antibiotics, showing depletion of all the bacterial cells. Insets represents LB agar plate seeded with FCM sorts from the corresponding populationBack to article page
