  1. Ribosomal RNAs assembled from the intact midgut and midgut contents metatranscriptome data were compared to the OTUs detected in the 16S amplicon data using BLASTN to determine which OTUs were transcriptionally active in the midgut. 16S OTUs were considered persistant if they were detected in ≥ 3 A. glabripennis midgut communities in the current study.
