Project description:Plastics are highly stable materials with widespread applications, but their resistance to degradation poses a significant environmental challenge, often resulting in accumulation in landfills or pollution in the form of microplastics. Biodegradation using insect larvae has recently emerged as a promising strategy to address this issue, though the molecular basis of plastic degradation in these organisms remains poorly understood due to limited genomic resources. In this study, we present a complete genome of the lesser wax moth, Achroia grisella, and tissue-specific RNA-Seq data of both the lesser and the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, two species known to consume various plastics. Our analyses reveal several highly expressed secretory enzymes in gut and labial tissues. Orthologous comparisons of differentially expressed genes also identified five enzymes (three hexamerins and two monooxygenases) from the lesser wax moth that have been shown or are predicted to have plastic-degrading potential in the greater wax moth. We also identified enzymes that may potentially be involved in polyethylene and polystyrene degradation based on their identities with known bacterial enzymes that have been experimentally validated and are involved in plastic degradation pathways. Together, these genomic and transcriptomic resources provide a foundation for understanding plastic degradation in wax moths and highlight candidate genes for future functional validation.

Project description:Polyethylene pollutions are considered inert in nature and adversely affect the entire ecosystem. Larvae of greater wax moths (Galleria mellonella) have the ability to masticate and potentially biodegrade polyethylene films at elevated rates. The wax moth has been thought to metabolize PE independently of gut flora, however, the role of the microbiome is poorly understood and degradation by the wax moth might be involved. To determine whether the salivary glands of the wax moth were potentially involved in the PE degradation, it was investigated how surface changes of polyethylene were affected by mastication and consumption. Formation of pitting and degradation intermediates, including carbonyl groups, indicated that salivary glands could assist in polyethylene metabolism. We investigated the biochemical effect of exposure to PE on the composition of the salivary gland proteome. The expression of salivary proteins was found to be affected by PE exposure. The proteins that were significantly affected by the exposure to PE revealed that the wax moth is undergoing general changes in energy levels, and that enzymatic pathways associated with fatty acid beta oxidation were induced during PE consumption.

Project description:The Galleria mellonella larvae were infected with Listeria monocytogenes and on the 5th of post infection RNA is isolated from infected and non-infected control larvae. RNA samples were processed for miRNA profile in response to L. monocytogenes infection in Galleria mellonella larvae.

Project description:Larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella are an ideal in vivo model to quickly and easily assess the virulence of a range of human pathogens, to comprehensively analyse the host – pathogen interactome and to reproducibly evaluate the in vivo toxicity and efficacy of anti-microbial agents. G. mellonella larvae are easy to inoculate, generate results within 48 hours and are free from the ethical and legal restrictions which surround the use of mammals for this type of testing.1,2 Microbial virulence and pathogenesis can be assessed by a variety of endpoints including survival, fluctuations in hemocyte density, oscillations in fungal burden and changes in hemolymph proteome. Insect hemocytes can be easily isolated and used in ex vivo cellular assays to determine phagocyte – pathogen interactions. Aspergillus fumigatus infection and dissimiation as well as G. mellonella cellular and humoral immune responses were analysed over 24 hours.
