Data underlying the publication: Relative contributions of egg-associated and substrate-associated microorganisms to black soldier fly larval performance and microbiota

We quantified the relative importance of substrate-associated and black soldier fly (BSF) egg-associated microorganisms on BSF larval performance, bacterial abundance, and bacterial community composition, when larvae were fed with chicken feed or chicken manure. We found that microbes from the feed substrate have a large impact on BSF larval microbiota and performance, whereas microbes from the insect eggs only play a minor role.<br>

本研究量化了在幼虫以鸡饲料或鸡粪为食的条件下，基质附着微生物与黑水虻（black soldier fly, BSF）虫卵附着微生物对黑水虻幼虫生长表现、细菌丰度及细菌群落组成的相对重要性。
研究发现，饲喂基质来源的微生物对黑水虻幼虫菌群及生长表现具有显著影响，而虫卵来源的微生物仅发挥次要作用。
