Abstract
Six species of sawfly (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) from four taxonomic families (Agridae, Diprionidae, Pamphiliidae,
and Tenthredinidae) were collected from locations across Canada and surveyed for their associated microbiota. Total
DNA was extracted from individual insects, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the conserved
16S rRNA gene from microbiota. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and restriction fragment length polymorphism
(RFLP) were undertaken to separate bacterial clones associated with the host insect. Sequencing of the PCR–
DGGE and PCR–RFLP products revealed a dominance of a- and g-Proteobacteria, with most sequences showing high
similarity to bacteria previously identified from other insect species and environmental samples. Additionally, a strain of
the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia and a Wolbachia bacteriophage were identified from the mountain ash sawfly (Pristiphora
geniculata).

Six espe`ces de mouches a` scie (Hyme´nopte`res : Symphytes) appartenant a` quatre familles taxonomiques
(Agridae, Diprionidae, Pamphiliidae et Tenthredinidae) ont e´te´ recueillies dans diffe´rentes localite´s a` travers le Canada et
ont e´te´ examine´es quant a` la pre´sence de microbiotes associe´s. L’ADN total a e´te´ extrait des insectes individuellement et
une re´action en chaine par polyme´rase (PCR) a e´te´ utilise´e pour amplifier la re´gion conserve´e du ge`ne de l’ARNr 16S des
microbiotes. Des e´lectrophore`ses sur gel en gradient de´naturant (DGGE) et des analyses de polymorphisme de longueur
des fragments de restriction (RFLP) ont e´te´ re´alise´es pour se´parer les clones bacte´riens associe´s aux insectes hoˆtes. Le se´-
quenc¸age des produits obtenus en PCR–DGGE et en PCR–RFLP a re´ve´le´ une dominance des prote´obacte´ries a et g, la
plupart des se´quences montrant un haut degre´ de similarite´ avec les bacte´ries identifie´es pre´ce´demment chez d’autres insectes
et chez d’autres e´chantillons environnementaux. De plus, une souche de l’endosymbiote bacte´rien Wolbachia et un
bacte´riophage de Wolbachia ont e´te´ identifie´s du Tenthre`de du sorbier (Pristiphora geniculata).
