TL;DR: Frass produced by the insect Tenebrio molitor, due to its nutritional content and associated microbiota, can be potentially used as a biofertilizer in organic farming, however, this potential dramatically varies according to the insect's diet.

A multitrophic culture system for the production of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)
André Deguara,Simeon Deguara,Joseph A. Buhagiar +2 more
TL;DR: This investigation has demonstrated the feasibility of a multi-trophic production system using kitchen waste to feed MWL whose frass was in turn used to feed BSFL thereby producing protein- and lipid-rich biomass that can serve as animal or aquaculture feed.

Sustainable Insect Farming: A System and One Health Approach for Effective Management
Karol B. Barragán-Fonseca
- 17 Oct 2024
TL;DR: This document explores sustainable insect farming's benefits for human, animal, and environmental health, examining key stages of production, optimizing efficiency and sustainability, and assessing benefits and risks through a One Health approach.
Insect frass from upcycling vegetable by-products with cereals: Effects on the soil properties, plant development and soil invertebrate fitness
Catarina Malheiro,Marija Prodana,Carla Patinha,Rui G. Morgado,Susana Loureiro +4 more
TL;DR: This study evaluates the effects of black soldier fly frass on soil properties, plant development, and non-target invertebrates, finding no risk to invertebrates but potential benefits to plant development at intermediate frass rates, with high rates hindering seed germination.

UPARSE: highly accurate OTU sequences from microbial amplicon reads
TL;DR: The UPARSE pipeline reports operational taxonomic unit (OTU) sequences with ≤1% incorrect bases in artificial microbial community tests, compared with >3% correct bases commonly reported by other methods.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the EzTaxon-e database provides a useful taxonomic backbone for the identification of cultured and uncultured prokaryotes and offers a valuable means of communication among microbiologists who routinely encounter taxonomically novel isolates.

TL;DR: The pyrosequencing of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene of more than 600 Arabidopsis thaliana plants is reported to test the hypotheses that the root rhizosphere and endophytic compartment microbiota of plants grown under controlled conditions in natural soils are sufficiently dependent on the host to remain consistent across different soil types and developmental stages.
