A Thermophile-Fermented Compost Modulates Intestinal Cations and the Expression of a Juvenile Hormone-Binding Protein Gene in the Female Larvae of Hercules Beetle <i>Dynastes hercules</i> (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

A Thermophile-Fermented Compost Modulates Intestinal Cations and the Expression of a Juvenile Hormone-Binding Protein Gene in the Female Larvae of Hercules Beetle <i>Dynastes hercules</i> (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

The Hercules beetle larvae grow by feeding on humus, and adding a thermophile-fermented compost to the humus can upregulate the growth of female larvae. In this study, the effects of compost on the intestinal environment, including pH, cation concentrations, and organic acid concentrations of intest...
