Dietary Influence on Growth, Physicochemical Stability, and Antimicrobial Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Peptides in Black Soldier Fly Larvae
Introduction A 2024 research article published in Insects by Liu et al. investigates how different diets influence the growth of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and the stability, mechanism, and effectiveness of their antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). In the context of growing concern over antibiotic resistance and the need for sustainable alternatives, this study offers insight…
Ingestion and excretion dynamics of microplastics by black soldier fly larvae and correlation with mouth opening size
Introduction A 2023 study published in Environmental Pollution by Lievens et al. investigates the ingestion and excretion dynamics of microplastics by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), focusing on how larval mouth opening size influences their capacity to consume and eliminate microplastic particles. With the global spread of microplastic contamination affecting not only aquatic but also…
Antimicrobial Peptides from Black Soldier Flies: A Promising Alternative to Livestock Antibiotics
Introduction A 2021 review paper published in the journal Animals (ISSN 2076-2615) by Xia et al. (2021) explores the potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as sustainable alternatives to conventional antibiotics in livestock farming. Key Findings From the Research The paper highlights that BSFL produce several types of AMPs, including…
