ABSTRACT
The assembly of host-associated bacterial communities is influenced by a multitude of biotic and abiotic factors. It is essential to gain insight in the impact and relative strength of these factors if we want to be able to predict the effects of environmental change on the assembly of host-associated bacterial communities, or deliberately modify them. The environmental pool of bacteria, from which the host is colonized, and the genetic background of the host are both considered to be important in determining the composition of host-associated bacterial communities. We experimentally assessed the relative importance of these two factors and their interaction on the composition of Daphnia magna gut bacterial communities. Bacterioplankton originating from natural ponds or a laboratory culture were used to inoculate germ-free Daphnia of different genotypes. We found that the composition of the environmental bacterial community has a major influence on the Daphnia gut bacterial community, both reflected by the presence or absence of specific taxa as well as by a correlation between abundances in the environment and on the host. Our data also indicate a consistent effect of host genotype on the occurrence of specific bacterial taxa in the gut of Daphnia over different environments.
