Diet plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiota and overall health of animals. Traditionally, silkworms are fed fresh mulberry leaves, artificial diets do not support good health. The aim this study was to explore relationship between dietary transition from leaves effects on physiological changes as model organism. With diversity silkworm increased, proportion Enterococcus Weissella, dominant bacterial species reared diets, decreased, whereas abundance Achromobacter Rhodococcus increased. Dietary at different times, including third or fifth instar larval stages, resulted significant differences growth development, immune resistance, silk production capacity silkworms. These might have been associated with rapid adaptation intestinal transition. This preliminarily established transition–gut microbial based conversion thus providing an important reference for future studies mechanisms through which habitual affect host physiology microbiome.

Abstract Gut microbiota are important in the adaptation of phytophagous insects to their plant hosts. However, interaction between gut microbiomes and pioneering populations invasive during new hosts, particularly initial phases invasion, has been less studied. We studied contribution microbiome host globally recognized pest, Hyphantria cunea, as it expands its range into southern China. The population H. cunea shows effective Metasequoia glyptostroboides exhibits greater larval survival on than original population. Genome resequencing revealed no significant differences functions related two populations. compatibility M. a correlation abundance several bacteria genera (Bacteroides, Blautia, Coprococcus) survival. Transplanting from northern enhanced adaptability latter previously unsuitable glyptostroboides. This research provides evidence that can enhance pests hosts enable more rapid habitats.

This study revealed that primer selection substantially influences the taxonomic and predicted functional composition characterization of microecological patterns, which was not alleviated by close-reference clustering. Biases were relatively consistent across different habitats in community profiling but patterns. These biases could be attributed to multiple aspects, including taxa specificity, regional hypervariability, amplification efficiency.

Lepidopterans commonly feed on plant material, being the most significant insect herbivores in nature. Despite resistance to herbivory, such as producing toxic secondary metabolites, have developed mechanisms encoded their genomes tolerate or detoxify defensive compounds. Recent studies also highlight role of gut microbiota mediating detoxification herbivores; however, convincing evidence supporting contribution symbionts is rare Lepidoptera. Here, we show that growth various lepidopteran species was inhibited by a mulberry-derived metabolite, 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ); expected, specialist silkworm Bombyx mori grew well, but interestingly, early-instar silkworms affected DNJ level, and several bacterial responded positively enriched DNJ. Among these, strain isolated from ( Pseudomonas fulva ZJU1) can degrade utilize sole energy source, after inoculation into nonspecialists (e.g., beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua ), P. ZJU1 increased host significantly promoted growth. We used genomic transcriptomic analyses identify genes potentially involved degradation, CRISPR-Cas9-mediated mutagenesis verified function ilvB , key binding protein, metabolizing Furthermore, deletion mutant, exhibiting normal growth, could no longer enhance nonspecialist performance, degradation vivo. Therefore, our study demonstrated causality between microbiome chemical defense Lepidoptera, facilitating mechanistic understanding host–microbe relationships across this complex, abundant group.

Nano(micro)plastics (NMPs) and agrochemicals are ubiquitous pollutants. The small size physicochemical properties of NMPs make them potential carriers for pollutants, affecting their bioavailability impact on living organisms. However, little is known about interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. This study investigates the adsorption Fenpropathrin (FPP) onto two different sizes polystyrene examines impacts an insect model, silkworm Bombyx mori. We analyzed systemic effects acute exposure to FPP, individually combined, at organismal, tissue, cellular, gut microbiome levels. Our results showed that can adsorb with smaller particles having higher capacity, leading size-dependent increases bioaccumulation toxicity FPP. These led mortality, reduced body weight, delayed development, decreased cocoon production silkworms. Additionally, pollutants caused physical oxidative damage midgut altered gene expression related juvenile hormone (JH) silk protein synthesis. analysis revealed significant changes abundance potentially beneficial bacteria.

The phytophagous Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is a global agricultural pest that damages many crops. Conversely, the predatory Arma chinensis shows promise as biological control agent against lepidopteran and coleopteran pests. A. are closely related species with different feeding habits, confirmed via genomic morphological analyses. However, no study investigating implications of these differences has been reported. Herein, 16S rRNA sequencing technology was employed to analyze microbiota diversity function in tissues (salivary glands, gut, sperm, ovaries) H. elucidate from microbial perspective. Additionally, adult male-to-female ratio organs statistically similar, while not. Based on dominance symbionts two bug species, we inferred Sodalis involved reproduction digestion chinensis, Spiroplasma Pantoea play essential roles digestion. We analyzed data laying foundation for further understanding symbiosis halys, which may inform development strategies.
