Organic side streams: using microbes to make substrates more fit for mass producing insects for use as feed

Microbes, combined with insects, convert organic waste into products of value. Resulting insects can be harvested and used as a high-quality protein resource, while the residues fertiliser. Microbes play an important role in conversion process. This review’s aim was focused on how microbes promote such black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.), house (Musca domestica waxworm (Plodia interpunctella) yellow meal worm (Tenebrio molitor to waste, also harmlessly reducing pollution. The novelty is reflected some core gut microbiota their secreted enzymes degrade macromolecules protein, fat, polysaccharide, cellulose, polystyrene polyethylene. Gut could help hazardous substances antibiotics, mycotoxin, odorous substances, inhibit pathogens wastes make substrates more fit for insects.
