From: Characterization and manipulation of the bacterial community in the midgut of Ixodes ricinus
Bacteria identified by culturing and culture-independent methods in the midgut of individual Ixodes ricinus adult females collected from Brno and Ceske Budejovice. Bacterial CFUs were log transformed. Bacterial genera from the culture-independent method are represented by the relative abundance (%). Black arrows show an example of the bacterial taxon detected in individual ticks by both methods. Abbreviations: CFU, Colony-forming units
