The gut microbiota plays an essential role in its host’s nutrition, development and behavior. Although crickets are becoming major ecosystemic model systems have important societal applications, such as alternative animal proteins or biocatalysts, little is known about their microbiome acquisition how environmental factors shape this community. Therefore, study, we exposed sand field to soils with different characteristics microbial communities test the influence of these on community composition. We used 16S/18S rRNA gene Illumina sequencing analyze soil communities, targeting three domains life, Archaea, Bacteria, Eukaryotes. Our results showed a dominance Mucoromycota fungi Bacteroidota microbiota. were unable retrieve sufficient read numbers for Archaea. Most taxa that identified can degrade soil-derived complex organic matter, likely helping host digest food. had significant impact structure, supporting our assumption environment acquisition. Host sex also community, possibly because female guts bigger mass, leading differences oxygen concentrations.
