Efficient and environmentally sound treatment of soybean processing wastewater sludge is importance for industrial sustainability. Bioconversion by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) has been extensively applied in biowaste recycling because of its efficacy and production of high-value outputs. However, the performance and underlying bacterial drivers of the BSFL-mediated sludge bioconversion require further investigation. This study investigated the larval bioconversion of the sludge, emphasizing waste reduction, larval quality, and the relationship between these aspects and bacterial communities. The inoculation with BSFL remarkably enhanced the reduction in the initial substrate (i.e., sludge plus wheat bran as the bulking material). This intervention also yielded a high larval bioconversion rate of approximately 22% along with a higher larval crude protein content ranging from 45%-48% and a 17 amino acid to protein ratio of 86%-92%. Higher dissolved organic carbon concentrations (15-22 g/kg), coupled with lower germination indices (< 5%), indicated that the residues retained biological instability after the bioconversion and required further composting. The potential risk of heavy metal pollution from mature larvae may not be a concern when used as aquaculture feed. The larval gut exhibited a higher bacterial diversity than the residues. Ammonium concentration increased with wheat bran and was positively correlated with the genera Lysinibacillus and Castellanella. Diverse gut bacteria (Olivibacter, Paracoccus) primarily facilitated notable sludge reduction. Sphingobacteria, Acinetobacter and Glutamicbacter played key roles in larval growth traits (biomass, protein, and amino acids). This study indicated that the valorization of soybean-processing-sourced sludge was achieved via functionally important BSFL intestinal microbiota, providing an efficient recycling approach for similar waste streams.
