Exploring transcriptome and microbiome dynamics in response to microbial challenges and nutritional immunomodulation in Hermetia illucens larvae. KU Leuven
Our food system struggles to sustainably meet the demands of the growing world population and needs to shift towards a sustainable, bio-based model. Specific insects are envisioned as actors in this transition, by efficiently transforming renewable biomass into high-quality protein and other compounds. The Black Soldier Fly (BSF) is important for bioconversion, as its larvae are able to valorize low quality organic waste streams (e.g. ...
