Black soldier fly larvae (BSF, Hermetia illucens ) have gained much attention for their industrial use as biowaste recyclers and as a new source of animal proteins. The functional effect that microbiota has on insect health and growth performance remains largely unknown. This study clarifies the role of microbiota in BSF ontogeny by investigating t...

... 20 most enriched ontologized terms following ltrations are presented in Fig. 5. Day 12 axenic larvae showed a preponderance of transcripts associated with the negative regulation of immune system processes. At day 20, GO terms related to catabolic processes, oxidoreduction and lipid process, as well as oxidative stress were enriched signicantly in the axenic condition compared to the conventional ...

... microbiota [19]. Immune system pathways showed higher enrichment at day four in conventional larvae, supporting previous results, but day 12 and 20 had higher enrichment in axenic larvae (Fig. 6). At day 12, axenic larvae had multiple enriched GO terms related to the regulation of immune processes and the negative regulation of immune processes (Fig. 5). This doesn't correlate with an increase in immune processes. On the contrary, it suggests that the higher transcriptomic activity down-regulates immune processes. This is a crucial distinction that can be made when assessing the genomic expression through a combination of multiple tools such as differential expression annotation, ...
