The growing demand worldwide for proteins and lipids cannot be met by the intensive use of agricultural land currently available. Insect mass cultures as a source have been in focus various reasons. An insect with many positive properties is black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, whose larvae could used sustainable production lipids. Furthermore, produce bioactive substances which potentially human animal welfare.
Fish and meat production processing will grow drastically in the coming decades. In aquacultural systems, insects are gaining interest as feed to provide a sustainable alternative fishmeal paradox, whose leads high consumption of resources negative environmental impacts. Within scope this study, fish from Hermetia illucens larvae Lemna minor an inline recirculating aquaponics model for urban sites was developed optimized, which efficiently combines waste service concepts one system. At same...
With the growing importance of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) for both sustainable food production and waste management as well science, a great demand understanding its immune system arises. Here, we present first description circulating larval hemocytes with special emphasis on uptake microorganisms distinguishing hemocyte types. histological, zymographic, cytometric methods set binding lectins antibodies, H. illucens are identified plasmatocytes, crystal cells, putative...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play an important role in suppressing the growth of microorganisms. They can be produced by bacteria themselves—to inhibit competitors—but are also widely distributed higher eukaryotes, including insects and mammals, where they form component innate immunity. In low-GC-content Gram-positive bacteria, BceAB-like transporters a crucial AMP resistance but have so far been primarily associated with interbacterial competition. Here, we show that orphan transporter...
