Co-feeding assay with GFP or RFP tagged bacteria. Newly emerged mosquitoes were fed on sugar meals mixed with wt/RFP and waaL −/GFP (a), waaL −/RFP and wt/GFP (b), wt−/RFP and waaL c /GFP (c) or waaL −/RFP and waaL c/GFP (d) cells in 1:1 ratio for 2 days. Then, the bacterial sugar was replaced with sterile sugar solution for the remaining time of the experiments. At day 3, the mosquitoes were given a blood meal. Panel (a) presents the fluorescent bacteria in the sugar solution; Panel (b) presents the fluorescent bacteria in the gut examined at day 3 post bacterial feeding; Panel (c) presents the fluorescent bacteria in the gut at 24 h post blood feeding
