Social insects in particular may provide experimentally amenable models to disentangle the contributions of individual bacterial symbionts to the gut microbiota - brain axis. In this review, we summarize findings from recent research on the neurological and behavioral effects of the gut microbiota of ...
Insect guts present distinctive environments for microbial colonization, and bacteria in the gut potentially provide many beneficial services to their hosts. Insects display a wide range in degree of dependence on gut bacteria for basic functions. Most insect guts contain relatively few microbial species...

Keywords: lepidopteran insect; gut microbiota; diversity; function 1. Introduction Lepidoptera is one of the most widespread and diverse insect clades in terms of the number of species and biomass [1,2]. Approximately 180,000 species of lepidopteran insects have been described all over the world,...

Moreover, maternal diet may play a role in shaping the infant gut microbial colonization by modulating the HM composition [15,18]. Albeit this research evidence, the effect of the maternal diet and the maternal undernourishment status at delivery on the HM nutritional composition has not yet ...
Chitin and chitosan are biopolymers that are frequently found in nature and have a broad range of applications in the food, biomedical and industrial sectors, due to their high biological activity. The primary source of chitin and chitosan is shellfish,
