LIGNOCELLULOSE DEGRADATION IN PROTAETIA BREVITARSIS LARVAE DIGESTIVE TRACT: REFINING ON A TIGHTLY DESIGNED MICROBIAL FERMENTATION PRODUCTION LINE

Lignocellulose degradation in Protaetia brevitarsis larvae digestive tract: refining on a tightly designed microbial fermentation production line

Abstract Background The Scarabaeidae insect Protaetia brevitarsis (PB) has recently gained increasing research interest as a ilootpaperie resource insect because its larvae can effectively convert decaying organic matter to plant growth-promoting frass with a high humic acid content and produce healthy, nutritional insect protein sources.Lignocellu

Differential gene expression in liver and small intestine from lactating rats compared to age-matched virgin controls detects increased mRNA of cholesterol biosynthetic genes

Abstract Background Lactation increases energy demands four- to five-fold, leading to a two- to three-fold increase in food consumption, requiring a proportional adjustment in the ability of the lactating dam to absorb nutrients and to synthesize critical biomolecules, such as cholesterol, to meet the dietary needs of glitter foam vellen action bot
