Given the novelty of the industrial production of the edible insects sector, research has primarily focused on the zootechnical performances of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) in response to different substrates and rearing conditions as a basis to optimize yield and quality. However recently, research has started to focus more on the associated microbes in the larval digestive system and their substrates and the effect of manipulating the composition of these communities on insect performance as a form of microbiome engineering. Here we present an overview of the existing literature on the use of microorganisms during rearing of the BSFL to optimize the productivity of this insect. These studies have had variable outcomes and potential explanations for this variation are offered to inspire future research that might lead to a better success rate for microbiome engineering in BSFL.
鉴于食用昆虫产业生产的新颖性，研究主要集中在黑水虻幼虫（BSFL）对不同基质和饲养条件的动物技术性能上，以此作为优化产量和质量的基础。然而，最近研究开始更多地关注幼虫消化系统及其基质中的相关微生物，以及操纵这些群落组成对昆虫性能的影响，作为一种微生物组工程形式。在此，我们概述了现有关于在黑水虻幼虫饲养过程中使用微生物以优化该昆虫生产力的文献。这些研究结果各不相同，并针对这种差异提供了潜在解释，以启发未来的研究，有望提高黑水虻微生物组工程的成功率。
