Abstract This study examined the effects of fishmeal substitution with mealworm meal (MWM) in the diets of rainbow trout fingerlings (Oncorhynchus mykiss) on growth performance, flesh quality, amino acid digestibility, and digestive system histology. Five diets, which were iso‐nitrogenous (average of 46.50% crude protein), iso‐lipidic (average of 19.76%

CYP52X1, representing new cytochrome P450 subfamily, displays fatty acid hydroxylase activity and contributes to virulence and growth on insect cuticular substrates in entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana [PDF]
Infection of insects by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana proceeds via attachment and penetration of the host cuticle. The outermost epicuticular layer or waxy layer of the insect represents a structure rich in lipids including abundant ...
