Although the phylogenetic position and anatomical location of the micro- organisms differ, the underlying theme of the symbiosis is the same; the microorganisms improve the nutritional quality of the diet through the provision of essential amino acids. The symbiosis has been well documented in aphids...
Weight loss is a common health goal, with an estimated 45% of adults in the U.S. trying a new diet every year. However, many of the selected diets are often too restrictive, causing people to not stay on them for very long. The result is many people gaining weight back, and in som...
In the present study, it was found that supplementation with 50, 100, and 200 mg EQ/ kg−1 diet for 5 wk helped prevent intestinal inflammation by enhancing the enteric antioxidant capacity and cytokine secretion, promoting the symbiotic lifestyle of the gut microbiota community in comparison ...
1. Mealworm weight changes before and after EPS feeding are shown in Table 1. On average, mealworms lost 10.8% of their weight after a fifteen-day EPS-only diet. This result confirmed that EPS is a dietary substance but not a good nutrient for mealworms, as in a previous study [37]. ...
Similarly, compound-specific isotope analysis of amino acids is increasingly used to infer diet and trophic transfers, including deep-sea corals36,37,38. The underlying rationale is a division between non-essential and essential amino acids. Our data clearly show that, at least for L. pertusa,...
Staphylae or hyphae are the main sources of nutrients for immature ants. Larvae need a high protein intake for growth, which can only be provided by L. gongylophorus [51]; when they are fed an artificial staphylae-based diet they gain more weight [52]. Larvae of Atta cephalotes obtain...
