TL;DR: The results showed that the influence of the microbial content of ingested food was limited to the anterior part of the midgut, and that the feeding activity of H. illucens larvae did not significantly affect the microbiota of the substrate, and a high protein content compared to other macronutrients in the feeding substrate seemed to favor midguts dysbiosis.

Structural and Functional Characterization of Hermetia illucens Larval Midgut.
M. Bonelli,Daniele Bruno,Silvia Caccia,Giovanna Sgambetterra,Silvia Cappellozza,Costanza Jucker,Gianluca Tettamanti,Morena Casartelli +7 more
TL;DR: A detailed functional model of the larval midgut of H. illucens is proposed in which each region is characterized by peculiar features to accomplish specific functions, which sets the stage for developing rearing protocols to optimize the bioconversion ability of this insect and its biotechnological applications.

TL;DR: The present research demonstrates that insects can be used to reduce organic waste, increasing at the same time the sustainability of aquaculture and creating interesting by-products through the linked bio-system establishment.

TL;DR: The data show that larval growth performance is only moderately affected by the nutritionally poor diet, while differences in the activity of digestive enzymes, midgut cell morphology, and accumulation of long-term storage molecules can be observed, indicating that diet-dependent adaptation processes in the midGut ensure the exploitation of poor substrates.
The digestive system of the adult Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): morphological features and functional properties
Daniele Bruno,M. Bonelli,Agustin G. Cadamuro,Marcella Reguzzoni,Annalisa Grimaldi,Morena Casartelli,Gianluca Tettamanti +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that the larval midgut of H. illucens is removed during metamorphosis and a new pupal-adult epithelium is formed by proliferation and differentiation of midguts stem cells, indicating that the adult insect possesses a functional digestive system and that food administration affects the longevity of the fly.
