Enhancing Salmonella Inhibition in Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens L.) Conversion by Bioaugmentation With Gut Microbiota.

ABSTRACT: Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) can efficiently convert organic waste into biomass and reduce pathogenic bacteria in organic waste. The microbial composition of the substrate and the gut of BSFL is a pivotal factor in determining the efficacy of BSFL in pathogen elimination. However, there are insufficient data on the gut microbiology of BSFL in relation to pathogen inhibition. To address this gap, we investigated the dynamics of Salmonella during the conversion of chicken manure by BSFL and examined the role of intestinal bacterial communities and core bacteria in reducing Salmonella levels. The results indicate that BSFL treatment can reduce the amount of Salmonella in chicken manure, with the gut microbiome of the BSFL playing a crucial role in this reduction.
