A gut commensal bacterium promotes black soldier fly larval growth and development partly via modulation of intestinal protein metabolism

ABSTRACT Black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), is a promising bio-agent to transform organic wastes into valuable insect biomass, and the intestinal microbes play an essential role in this process. Here, we report that Citrobacter amalonaticus, a Gram-negative gut...
