Gut microbiome of black soldier fly larvae after Lactobacillus exposure
Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae are widely recognized for their efficient bioconversion of organic waste, a process closely associated with the composition and function of their gut microbiota. This study investigated the effects of exogenous probiotic supplementation on the gut bacterial community of black soldier fly larvae, with particular emphasis on concentration-dependent responses. Larvae were assigned to four experimental groups: an untreated control group (CK) and three groups subjected to low (D10), medium (D2), and high (S) concentrations of Lactobacillus treatment. Each group consisted of three biological replicates, resulting in a total of 12 gut samples. Gut bacterial communities were characterized by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing targeting the V3-V4 region. This dataset contains the raw sequencing reads from all samples and is intended to support investigations of probiotic-gut microbiome interactions in H. illucens. A manuscript describing this dataset is currently in preparation.
