Diversity of Intestinal Bacteria in the Silkworm,Bombyx Mori,and Advances in Research Methods
As an important economic insect and Lepidoptera model insect,the study of the structural and functional diversity of intestinal bacteria in the silkworm has become very popular in recent years.It was found that the number and species of the intestinal flora of the silkworm varied greatly under the species,sex,age,and different environmental and rearing conditions,and the dominant flora was also different.This paper introduces the research progress on the diversity of the structure,function and research methods of the intestinal flora of the silkworm,and analyzes the influencing factors of the intestinal flora,which is of great significance to the understanding of the mechanism of the interaction between the intestinal bacteria and the silkworm,as well as to the growth and development of the silkworm,immunity,resistance to disease,etc.,and it provides scientific research value and practical application and popularization for the subsequent promotion of the sustainable development of sericulture industry and the research of the intestinal bacteria in other fields.
