Figure 3. Lifespan extension effect of the elimination of commensal microbes differs among laboratory fly strains. (A) The total number of CFUs from 1-week-old flies in plate count agar (PCA) media. (B) Survival curve of laboratory wild-type w¹¹¹⁸, Oregon-R, and Canton-S strains with the elimination of microbes. Solid lines, Conv flies; dashed lines, Ax flies. (C) Mean lifespan of laboratory wild-type w¹¹¹⁸, Oregon-R, and Canton-S strains following the elimination of microbes. Filled dots, Conv flies; open dots, Ax flies. Asterisks indicate significant differences between Conv flies and Ax flies (log-rank test, *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.0001). Error bars represent the SEM.
