One important feature of insect rearing is its apparent, and sometimes non-apparent, reliance on the bacterial ecosystem. Indeed, microbes contribute to insect nutrition, protection against natural enemies, and detoxification of dietary compounds, antibiotics, and insecticides. Further, microbes have been implicated as the source of signals and cues important to insect communication. But the incidence and general significance of these functions is only just being explored in the context of mass production of insects. Knowledge of the diversity and functional distribution of these microorganisms in mass-rearing systems is key to understanding microbial dynamics and to enhance system performance. Therefore, this brief review is a synthesis of literature surrounding insect rearing systems for the primary insects reared as food and feed (i.e. black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), mealworms (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), and cricket (Orthoptera: Grylloidea) with a focus on recent advances pertaining to microbial contribution to reproduction, growth, and waste conversion.
昆虫饲养的一个重要特征是其对细菌生态系统的明显（有时是非明显的）依赖。事实上，微生物有助于昆虫的营养、抵御天敌以及对饮食化合物、抗生素和杀虫剂的解毒。此外，微生物已被牵涉为对昆虫通讯很重要的信号和线索的来源。但是，在大规模生产昆虫的情况下，这些功能的发生和一般意义才刚刚开始被探索。了解这些微生物在大规模饲养系统中的多样性和功能分布，是理解微生物动态和增强系统性能的关键。因此，本简要综述是对围绕主要用作食物和饲料饲养的昆虫（即黑蝇幼虫、Hermetia illucens（双翅目：Stratiomyidae）、粉虫（鞘翅目：Tenebrionidae）和蟋蟀（直翅目：Grylloidea）的饲养系统的文献的综合，重点介绍了与微生物对繁殖、生长和废物转化的贡献有关的最新进展。
