“…Pseudomonas putida has been shown to produce volatiles that attract the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae Gmelin (Liscia et al 2013), and numerous bacteria have been shown to produce volatiles that attract the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens (Loew) (Jang and Nishijima 1990;Robacker et al 1998). Similarly, a recent study on yeasts isolated from the larval frass and adult midguts of spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, and their fruit food source, found a specific association between the flies and some yeasts with a preference for Hanseniaspora uvarum (Scheidler et al 2015).…”

Some species of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) play relevant roles in the metabolism and physiology of Drosophila spp. and in some cases convey benefits to their hosts. The pest Drosophila suzukii harbors a set of AAB similar to those of other Drosophila species. Here, we investigate the potential to exploit the ability of AAB to produce volatile substances that attract female D. suzukii. Using a two-way olfactometer bioassay, we investigate the preference of D. suzukii for strains of AAB, and using solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry we specifically characterize their volatile profiles to identify attractive and non-attractive components produced by strains from the genera Acetobacter, Gluconobacter, and Komagataeibacter. Flies had a preference for one strain of Komagataeibacter and two strains of Gluconobacter. Analyses of the volatile profiles from the preferred Gluconobacter isolates found that acetic acid is distinctively emitted even after 2 days of bacterial growth, confirming the relevance of this volatile in the profile of this isolate for attracting flies. Analyses of the volatile profile from the preferred Komagataeibacter isolate showed that a different volatile in its profile could be responsible for attracting D. suzukii. Moreover, variation in the concentration of butyric acid derivatives found in some strains may influence the preference of D. suzukii. Our results indicate that Gluconobacter and Komagataeibacter strains isolated from D. suzukii have the potential to provide substances that could be exploited to develop sustainable mass-trapping-based control approaches

“…The attraction of fruit fly adults to gut bacterial odours is due to the volatile chemical compounds emitted during the fermentation . Several volatile compounds, including alcohols, ammonia, pyrazines, sulphur compounds, ketones, acids, phenols and amines, have been identified from various gut bacteria and found to attract fruit fly adults . Volatile compounds such as 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol, 2‐phenylethanol, 2‐methyl‐1‐propanol, phenol and 2,5‐dimethylpyrazine were more frequently identified from gut bacteria and were shown to attract insects .…”

“…However, more recent studies indicated that the bacteria type might be less important than had been supposed. Robacker et al. (1998) showed that bacteria from 11 taxa representing various subspecies, species, genera and four major taxonomic categories, were all attractive to the Mexican fruit fly ( Anastrepha ludens Loew).…”

Effects of culturing medium on production and emission of volatiles by Pantoea agglomerans (Beijerinck 1888) Gavini et al. 1989 preparations and on attractiveness of the preparations to the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens Loew, were investigated. Bacterial cultures in each of four biochemically different types of liquid media emitted different volatiles. Cultures in a medium containing uric acid as its primary nitrogen source emitted more ammonia and 2‐nonanone than the other media. We postulate that the high production of ammonia was because of uricase activity by this uricase (+) strain. Regardless of media type, supernatants emitted more volatiles than preparations containing cells that had been removed from whole cultures and put into distilled water. Attractiveness varied little with biochemical make‐up of the culturing medium although the uric acid and carbohydrate preparations were as a group more attractive than preparations made from the other two media. Supernatants and whole cultures generally were more attractive than cell preparations and non‐inoculated media. Bacteria grown in aqueous uric acid‐based media emitted volatiles similar but not identical to those emitted by bacteria grown on gel (agar or solid) uric acid‐based media in Petri plates.
