Kaplan–Meier survival curves of axenic P. versicolora larvae (n = 30) fed with dsSrp54k (a) or dsActin (b) after reintroduction of bacterial species (E. aerogenes, E. faecalis, or P. putida). Shown here is one representative experiment of three repeats. The bacteria were mixed with either dsSrp54k or dsActin and introduced into axenic larvae by spreading the bacteria onto aseptic poplar leaves. The log-rank test was used to assess the significance of differences between two survival curves. ^*** P < 0.001, ^* P < 0.05
