Microbial invasions underlie host-microbe interactions resulting in pathogenesis and probiotic colonization. In this study, we explore the effects of the microbiome on microbial invasion inDrosophila melanogaster. We demonstrate that gut microbesLactiplantibacillus plantarumandAcetobacter tropicalisimprove survival and lead to a reduction in microbial burden during infection. Using a microbial interaction assay, we report thatL. plantaruminhibits the growth of invasive bacteria, whileA. tropicalisreduces this inhibition. We further show that inhibition byL. plantarumis linked to its ability to acidify its environment via lactic acid production by lactate dehydrogenase, whileA. tropicalisdiminishes the inhibition by quenching acids. We propose that acid from the microbiome is a gatekeeper to microbial invasions, as only microbes capable of tolerating acidic environments can colonize the host. The methods and findings described herein will add to the growing breadth of tools to study microbe-microbe interactions in broad contexts.
