Project description:Edible mealworms and crickets are high protein food sources, which have recently emerged on the European market. As the production of edible insects is more sustainable than conventional livestock proteins, they are a promising alternative protein source for human consumption. Protein compositions of mealworms and crickets that underwent different food processing and preparation steps were assessed by LC-MS analysis after tryptic in-gel digestion, and were compared to proteins from chicken breast.

Project description:Mealworms and crickets are edible protein-dense insects that can be produced more sustainably than animal proteins from livestock, and are therefore promising alternative protein sources for human consumption. The protein amount provided by a food source is, however, dependent on the protein digestibility. To evaluate hydrolysis of insect proteins compared to the highly digestible chicken breast, mealworms and crickets that underwent different food preparation and processing steps (blanching, oven-drying, freeze-drying and dechitinization) were subjected to the static INFOGEST in vitro digestion protocol. Peptide patterns were created by sampling in vitro digesta multiple times throughout the in vitro digestion protocol (one sample in the oral phase, and ten in the gastric as well as the intestinal phase). Peptides in digesta were isolated, and samples from the different time points were measured by LC-MS analysis.

Project description:Gut microbiome research is rapidly moving towards the functional characterization of the microbiota by means of shotgun meta-omics. Here, we selected a cohort of healthy subjects from an indigenous and monitored Sardinian population to analyze their gut microbiota using both shotgun metagenomics and shotgun metaproteomics. We found a considerable divergence between genetic potential and functional activity of the human healthy gut microbiota, in spite of a quite comparable taxonomic structure revealed by the two approaches. Investigation of inter-individual variability of taxonomic features revealed Bacteroides and Akkermansia as remarkably conserved and variable in abundance within the population, respectively. Firmicutes-driven butyrogenesis (mainly due to Faecalibacterium spp.) was shown to be the functional activity with the higher expression rate and the lower inter-individual variability in the study cohort, highlighting the key importance of the biosynthesis of this microbial by-product for the gut homeostasis. The taxon-specific contribution to functional activities and metabolic tasks was also examined, giving insights into the peculiar role of several gut microbiota members in carbohydrate metabolism (including polysaccharide degradation, glycan transport, glycolysis and short-chain fatty acid production). In conclusion, our results provide useful indications regarding the main functions actively exerted by the gut microbiota members of a healthy human cohort, and support metaproteomics as a valuable approach to investigate the functional role of the gut microbiota in health and disease.

Project description:Among the parasites of insects, endoparasitoids impose a costly challenge to host defenses because they use their host’s body for the development and maturation of their eggs or larvae, and ultimately kill the host. Tachinid flies are highly specialized acoustically-orienting parasitoids that release first instar mobile larvae which burrow into the host’s body to feed. We investigated the possibility that Teleogryllus oceanicus field crickets employ post-infestation strategies to maximize survival when infested with the larvae of the parasitoid fly Ormia ochracea. Using crickets from the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where the parasitoid is present, and crickets from the Cook Islands (Mangaia), where the parasitoid is absent, we evaluated fitness consequences of infestation by comparing feeding behavior, reproductive capacity, and survival of males experimentally infested with O. ochracea larvae. We also evaluated genetic mechanisms underlying host responses by comparing gene expression in crickets infested with fly larvae for different lengths of time with that of uninfested control crickets. We observe some differences in fitness (spermatophore production) and survival (total survival time post-infestation) between populations. However, for both traits significant population effects 1) were not associated with the slope of the response to different numbers of larvae and 2) only emerged from models containing body condition at one but not both time points evaluated. Gene expression patterns also revealed population differences in response to infestation. We did not find evidence for consistent differences in genes associated with immunity or stress response. Taken together, these results suggest that coevolution with the fly does not strongly select for either post-infestation resistance or tolerance of parasitoid larvae in male crickets.
