Thermal stress modulates Gut Microbial Communities in Bombyx mori

Heat stress can significantly alter the gut microbiome of insects, impacting their physiology and adaptation. Using 16S rRNA sequencing, we investigated how thermal stress reshapes the gut microbial composition of Bombyx mori, revealing key microbial shifts that may contribute to host resilience under extreme temperatures

热胁迫可显著改变昆虫肠道微生物组，进而影响其生理机能与适应性。本研究借助16S rRNA测序技术，探究了热胁迫对家蚕（Bombyx mori）肠道微生物群落组成的重塑作用，并揭示了可能助力宿主在极端温度下维持抗逆性的关键微生物群落变化。
