"To elucidate the interaction between bacteria and saprophagous Diptera larvae, the amounts of bacteria in leaf litter, individual gut compartments, and feces of three species of Bibionidae (Bibio pomonae, Bibio marci, and Penthetria holosericea), feeding either directly on leaf litter or on feacal pellets produced from leaf litter by larvae of the same species, were assessed by determining total direct counts and viable counts on solid media at different pH. In P. holosericea, the effect of various cultivation temperatures on direct counts of bacteria in individual compartments was also demonstrated. In all species, the amount of bacteria in the anterior mesenteron was lower than in the consumed food, regardless of whether the larvae were feeding on leaf litter or feces, and increased again in the posterior part of the gut. The amount of bacteria in these compartments was generally higher in larvae feeding on feces than in those feeding on leaf litter, whereas the amount of bacteria found in the ceca" . "4"^^ . . .
