Aged fly gut microbiota shortens lifespan in flies (colonization of axenic flies with aged fly gut flora; acting through bacterial load).
“microbial flora of aged fly gut significantly decreased axenic fly lifespan via an increase in bacterial load rather than through a change of bacterial composition”
