Numerous honeybee (Apis mellifera) products, such as honey, propolis, and bee venom, are used in traditional medicine to prevent illness promote healing. Therefore, this insect has a huge impact on humans’ way of life the environment. While population A. mellifera is large, there concern that widespread commercialization beekeeping, combined with environmental pollution action pathogens, caused significant problems for health populations. One strategies preserve welfare honeybees better understand protect their natural microbiota. This paper provides unique overview latest research features functioning mellifera. Honeybee microbiome analysis focuses both function numerous factors affecting it. In addition, we present characteristics lactic acid bacteria (LAB) an important part gut community special beneficial activities health. The idea probiotics promising tool improve widely discussed.

Synthetic pesticides are extensively and injudiciously applied to control agriculture household pests worldwide. Due their high use, toxic residues have enormously increased in the agroecosystem past several years. They caused many severe threats non-target organisms, including humans. Therefore, complete removal of compounds is gaining wide attention protect ecosystem diversity living organisms. Several methods, such as physical, chemical biological, degrade compounds, but compared other biological methods considered more efficient, fast, eco-friendly less expensive. In particular, employing microbial species purified enzymes makes degradation pollutants accessible converts them into non-toxic products by metabolic pathways. The digestive tract insects usually known a superior organ that provides nutrient-rich environment hundreds perform pivotal role various physiological ecological functions. There direct relationship between insect pests: reduce growth alter phyla located gut microbiome. comparison, microbiota tries changing toxicity, increasing production regulation diverse range enzymes.

The guts of insect pests are typical habitats for microbial colonization and the presence bacterial species inside gut confers several potential advantages to insects. These bacteria located symbiotically digestive tracts insects help in food digestion, phytotoxin breakdown, pesticide detoxification. Different shapes chemical assets gastrointestinal have a significant impact on structure makeup population. number communities system differs owing varying shape composition tracts. Due their short generation times rapid evolutionary rates, can develop numerous metabolic pathways adapt diverse ecological niches. In addition, despite hindering insecticide management programs, they still biotechnological uses, including industrial, clinical, environmental uses. This review discusses prevalent associated with guts, mode symbiotic interaction, role resistance, various other biological significance, along knowledge gaps future perspectives. practical consequences microbiome its interaction host may lead encountering mechanisms behind evolution resistance

Influence of Microplastics on the Growth and the Intestinal Microbiota Composition of Brine Shrimp

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Sept. 29, 2021

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and can be frequently ingested by zooplankton, leading to various effects. Brine shrimp ( Artemia parthenogenetica ) has an important role energy flow through trophic levels different seawater systems. In this work, influence of polyethylene (PE) polystyrene (PS) MPs on growth brine corresponding changes gut microbiota were investigated. Our results showed that remarkably reduced rate shrimp, two types have impacts. The average body length shrimps was 17.92 14.95% PE group PS group, respectively. mainly found intestine, their exposure evidently affects microbiota. By using 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing, 32 phyla bacteria detected microbiome consisted Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria. MPs’ significantly increased microbial diversity.

The interest in edible insects’ mass rearing has grown considerably recent years, thereby highlighting the challenges of domesticating new animal species. Insects are being considered for use management organic by-products from agro-industry, synthetic plastics industry including particular detoxification processes. processes depend on insect’s digestive system which is based two components: an enzymatic intrinsic cargo to insect species and another extrinsic provided by microbial community colonizing—associated with host. Advances have been made identification origin functions observed midgut. It now evident that microorganisms can adapt, improve, extend ability digest detoxify its food. Nevertheless, such as Hermetia illucens Tenebrio molitor surprisingly autonomous, no obligatory symbiosis a microorganism yet uncovered digestion. Conversely, intestinal microbiota given take different forms, largely influenced host’s environment diet. This flexibility offers potential development novel associations between insects microorganisms, could result creation synergies would optimize or expand value chains agro-industrial by-products, well contaminants.

Currently, beekeeping faces many risks, such as deteriorating health of honeybees in hives, which results high mortality rates, mainly during winter. An important consequence is the emergence/re-emergence communicable diseases varroosis or nosemosis. These jeopardize continuity sector because absence effective treatments and harmful residues that they can be retained on wax honey. This study aimed to evaluate how feed supplementation with probiotic postbiotic products derived from lactic acid bacteria affected strength, dynamic population, sanitary parameters honey bees. Three groups 30 hives were established fed supplemented control, probiotic, products, a total nine applications over two months late spring. Two monitoring tests conducted strength status hives. Hives consumed enhanced their increased bee population egg laying queen, maintained reserves pollen, whereas these decreased belonging other groups. Furthermore, although suggested favorable effect trend N. ceranae infection levels, probiotics showed intermediate results.

Insects are the most diverse animal group on planet. Their success is reflected by diversity of habitats in which they live. However, these have undergone great changes recent decades; understanding how affect insect health and fitness an important challenge for conservation. In this Review, we focus research that links nutritional environment with infection immune status insects. We first discuss from field immunology, then investigate factors such as intracellular extracellular symbionts, sociality transgenerational effects may interact connection between nutrition immunity. show interactions resistance can be highly specific to species and/or type - almost certainly due social life cycles, varied environments insects Hence, connections cannot easily generalised across finally suggest other environmental aspects use agrochemicals climatic might also influence interaction resistance, highlight essential.
