(a) Mean relative abundance of bacterial genera in the guts of weevil larvae Conorhynchus palumbus (N = 88) and Menecleonus virgatus (N = 8). (b) Neighbour-Joining phylogenetic tree constructed from MUSCLE alignment of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene of two dominant representative Citrobacter sequences obtained in this study, different Citrobacter sequences obtained from a range of insects, and representative Enterobacter and Klebsiella sequences (of the Enterobacteriaceae family) obtained from the other weevil species in MEGA v10.0. Pseudomonas sp. (of the Pseudomonadaceae family) was used as the out group. Genbank accession No. is shown for each sequence obtained from Genbank, while the OTU No. (the same as in the deposited datasets in Genbank) is shown for the sequence obtained in this study. Numbers on the branches are bootstrap values. Only bootstrap values greater than 70 are shown. Sequences in bold were obtained in this study
