不同含水率饲料对黑水虻生长发育的影响及其对饲料的转化特征研究

饲料的含水率是影响黑水虻生长发育及其对饲料养分转化的重要因素,本研究旨在探究黑水虻生物转化过程中饲料最佳含水率。将3龄黑水虻幼虫接入含水率为40%、50%、60%、70%、80%的饲料中,每隔3 d记录黑水虻的体重,至预蛹数达总数的50%时结束试验,计算预蛹历期、预蛹总产量及有效转化率,测定黑水虻及饲料残渣养分及总能。结果发现：1）黑水虻预蛹总产量及其对饲料的有效转化率随水分含量升高而线性增加,在80%水分下达到最大值。2）黑水虻在70%水分下最先预蛹,预蛹历期为14 d。3）黑水虻体内CP含量随水分含量增加而线性下降,EE、GE含量随水分增加线性上升。4）黑水虻对饲料GE的代谢消耗率在60%水分下最高,而在80%水分下对饲料养分的累积量最高。因此,生产中为了高效运转黑水虻生物转化体系,应根据生产目的调节饲料水分以获取最大效益。

3种人工饲料对草地贪夜蛾生长发育及繁殖力的影响

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda(J.E. Smith)是2019年入侵我国的重要农业害虫,筛选出合适的人工饲料可为规模化繁育提供基础。本文通过组建实验种群生命表的方法,研究了3种人工饲料对草地贪夜蛾生长发育、繁殖力以及种群增长潜能的影响,以玉米叶饲养的作为对照。结果表明,3种人工饲料对草地贪夜的饲养效果具有明显差异。其中,以饲料Ⅱ饲养的结果最理想,除幼虫-蛹发育历期(如雌性个体,23.63 d)比对照(20.98 d)略有延长外,幼期存活率(88.00%)、雌性蛹重(243.90 mg)、雄性蛹重(251.60 mg)、产卵量(845.90粒)等指标均优于对照,生命表参数中的净生殖力R_0(346.29)、内禀增长率r_m(0.1859)、周限增长率λ(1.2043)也高于对照。用饲料Ⅰ饲养时,草地贪夜蛾能够完成世代发育,但存在幼虫-蛹的发育历期(41.56 d)明显延长、幼期存活率(36.00%)、产卵雌成虫比例低(25.00%)等问题,难以达到室内大量繁育的要求。而以饲料Ⅲ饲养的草地贪夜蛾仅能生长发育至5龄幼虫,不能完成世代发育。综合相关生物学指标来看,饲料Ⅱ是饲养草地贪夜的适宜人工饲料。     

饲料中转基因成分对家蚕生长发育的影响

Detection of antimicrobial substances from larvae of the black soldier fly,Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)

Maggots have become highly successful in the treatment of non‐healing wounds and multidrug‐resistant pathogen infections. The main objective of this study was to extract antibacterial substances from larvae of the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens. To induce immune responses, we septically injured the larvae with a contaminated needle. Lyophilized H. illucens larvae were homogenized and extracted with acidic methanol. We examined the antifungal and antibacterial effects of the low molecular weight antimicrobial factors within the larval extract on the growth of a broad range of microorganisms, including Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Gram‐negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Furthermore, we isolated the anti‐MRSA substances from the larval extract using high performance liquid chromatography. These investigations revealed that the larval extract possessed a broad‐spectrum of antibacterial activity, demonstrating that secretions of H. illucens larvae prove useful in the fight against MRSA and can potentially be a source of novel antibiotic‐like compounds for infection control.     

黑水虻幼虫及预蛹抗逆性的初步研究

本文初步研究了老熟和预蛹阶段的黑水虻Hermetiaillucens对于酒精毒性、氧胁迫和高渗透压条件下的耐受特性,结果显示黑水虻幼虫和预蛹在三种胁迫因子处于20%～60%(浓度)的较低水平时,其平均死亡率低于20%,表现出良好的抗逆性。高浓度的酒精、矿物油和氯化钠溶液对于黑水虻的生存都会产生负面影响,但是幼虫与预蛹由于其生理形态上的变化,致使其在抗逆性方面表现出显著差异,预蛹阶段的黑水虻对矿物油较为敏感,而幼虫则对高盐环境的耐受性表现较弱。     

响应面法优化黑水虻幼虫蛋白质提取工艺

【目的】对黑水虻Hermetia illucens幼虫蛋白质进行不同提取方法的比较,选择最优提取方法,并确定其最优工艺参数,为黑水虻幼虫蛋白提取与资源利用提供依据。【方法】以黑水虻幼虫为原料,分别采用碱提法、酶提法、盐提法和Tris-HCl缓冲液提法对黑水虻幼虫蛋白质进行提取,并比较分析。通过单因素试验分别确定NaOH质量浓度、液料比、提取温度及提取时间4个因素的较优水平。在单因素试验结果基础上,按照Box-Behnken响应面试验设计进行响应面优化试验。【结果】提取黑水虻幼虫蛋白质的4种方法中碱提法的提取率最高,最佳提取条件为：NaOH质量浓度2.44 g/100mL,液料比22 mL/g,提取温度53℃,提取时间2 h。提取率验证试验结果为88.49%,与预测值相对误差为0.28%。【结论】响应面模型拟合度高,优化出的最佳提取工艺可行。     

黑水虻幼虫的耐饥力及饥饿幼虫复食后的生物学特性

【目的】旨在明确黑水虻Hermetia illucens幼虫的耐饥力及饥饿幼虫复食后的发育、生殖力等生物学特性,为评估饥饿对黑水虻后续发育的影响并指导生产实践提供依据。【方法】将不同日龄或不同体重黑水虻幼虫进行不同时长的饥饿处理,测定和分析其耐饥力与日龄、百头重的关系;对7日龄幼虫进行不同时长的饥饿处理后再复喂,测定不同饥饿时长对其预蛹出现时间、总预蛹率、预蛹重、成虫繁殖等的影响。【结果】黑水虻幼虫饥饿后的半数致死时间(LT₅₀)与日龄成指数关系,与体重呈线性相关。7日龄幼虫的耐饥力较强,LT₅₀超过了50 d,饥饿30 d时存活率仍然达到了95%。百头重小于0.5 g的个体,其LT₅₀小于30 d;百头重在2～2.5 g的个体,其LT₅₀在45～70 d。幼虫超过8日龄时或百头重超过4.5 g时,多数个体在饥饿5 d时就提前进入了后续发育阶段。7日龄幼虫饥饿40 d内复食,其预蛹率未受到影响,但预蛹重显著增加;短期饥饿(0～10 d)对其成虫产卵量无显著影响,长期饥饿(30～40 d)使其成虫产卵量显著下降;饥饿长达30 d以上时,卵孵化率也显著降低。【结论】本研究明确了不同体重或不同日龄的黑水虻幼虫都具有一定的耐饥力;饥饿幼虫复食后预蛹重显著增加。     

Hexanedioic acid from Hermetia illucens larvae (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) protects mice against Klebsiella pneumoniae infection

The antibacterial effects of larval extract from Hermetia illucens, commonly known as the black soldier fly, have been demonstrated in vitro. In this study, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis identified the active compound within this larval extract as hexanedioic acid. The antibacterial effects of hexanedioic acid were investigated in mice infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae. After administration of hexanedioic acid, infected mice showed decreased lung bacterial loads and lower rates of body weight loss compared to those in the infection‐only control group. Based on lung bacterial loads, oral hexanedioic acid treatment showed better protection than intraperitoneal treatment. Histopathology confirmed that daily administration of hexanedioic acid for 10 days showed zero toxicity to the kidneys or livers of mice. Therefore, hexanedioic acid may be a novel antibacterial agent.     

Black soldier fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) larval heat generation and management

Mass production of black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), larvae results in massive heat generation, which impacts facility management, waste conversion, and larval production. We tested daily substrate temperatures with different population densities (i.e., 0, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10 000 larvae/pan), different population sizes (i.e., 166, 1000, and 10 000 larvae at a fixed feed ratio) and air temperatures (i.e., 20 and 30 °C) on various production parameters. Impacts of shifting larvae from 30 to 20 °C on either day 9 or 11 were also determined. Larval activity increased substrate temperatures significantly (i.e., at least 10 °C above air temperatures). Low air temperature favored growth with the higher population sizes while high temperature favored growth with low population sizes. The greatest average individual larval weights (e.g., 0.126 and 0.124 g) and feed conversion ratios (e.g., 1.92 and 2.08 g/g) were recorded for either 10 000 larvae reared at 20 °C or 100 larvae reared at 30 °C. Shifting temperatures from high (30 °C) to low (20 °C) in between (∼10-d-old larvae) impacted larval production weights (16% increases) and feed conversion ratios (increased 14%). Facilities should consider the impact of larval density, population size, and air temperature during black soldier fly mass production as these factors impact overall larval production.     

Biochemical characterization of digestive enzymes in the black soldier fly,Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)

The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, is beneficial because its larvae feed on organic materials derived from plants, animals and humans and promote the recycling of food waste and organic materials. We investigated the biochemical properties of digestive enzymes released from the salivary gland and gut of the black soldier fly. Because the gut extracts of the black soldier fly larvae had high amylase, lipase and protease activities, we suggested that the black soldier fly might belong to the polyphagous insect group. In addition, a strong trypsin-like protease activity was observed in the gut extracts of the black soldier fly larvae. Higher activities of leucine arylamidase, α-galactosidase, β-galactosidase, α-mannosidase and α-fucosidase were observed from the gut extracts of the black soldier fly larvae compared with those of house fly larvae. These findings may explain previous reports that the black soldier fly larvae can digest food wastes and organic materials more efficiently than any other known species of fly.     

Antibacterial effect of extracts of Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) larvae against Gram‐negative bacteria

Larvae of the black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens are well‐known fly larvae that inhabit many countries around the world. Antimicrobial agents derived from the larvae may be among the substances that are produced in the body for their survival. This study was carried out to identify the antimicrobial effects of H. illucens larvae that commonly inhabit animal waste and food waste. To evaluate the pharmacological effects of H. illucens larvae extracts, the larvae were extracted by various organic solvents, and their antibacterial effects were determined by antimicrobial methods, such as agar disk diffusion and turbidometric assays. The methanol extracts (ME) indicated antibacterial effects against the proliferation of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Shigella sonnei. However, antibacterial effects were not induced in Gram‐positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus mutans and Sarcina lutea. The bacterial growth treated with ME was strongly inhibited from 20 mg/mL in a dose‐dependent manner compared with other extracts, and antibacterial activity gradually decreased after 24 h. Moreover, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of ME against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Shigella sonnei for 12 h were measured as 44.74 mg/mL, 43.98 mg/mL and 43.96 mg/mL, respectively. These results demonstrate that ME of H. illucens larvae not only has antibacterial activity which strongly inhibits the growth and proliferation of the bacteria but also unique properties which effectively block the viability of the bacteria.
