Total lipid (a), glycogen (b) and protein c in Aedes atropalpus adult females from larvae that were inoculated with Aquitalea, Comamonas, or conventionally reared (non-sterile). Lipid (ANOVA: F (3,35) = 96.0, P < 0.0001), glycogen (ANOVA: F (3,35) = 6.2, P = 0.002), and protein (ANOVA: F (3,35) = 6.2, P = 0.002) significantly differed among treatments. For each nutrient, an asterisk above a bar indicates means significantly differ from the non-sterile control (Dunnett’s test; P < 0.01). Two adult females with gut removed were analyzed per replicate with 10 replicates analyzed for each treatment and nutrient. Bars indicate mean values with 95 % confidence intervals
