Danielozyma pruni sp. nov., an asexual yeast species isolated from insect frass

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2023
Two strains (NYNU 218101 and NYNU 218104) of an asexual yeast species were isolated from insect frass collected in insect tunnels of red leaf plum trees in the Henan Province, central China. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region showed that these two strains ...

Home‐field advantage in decomposition of leaf litter and insect frass

Population Ecology, 2012
Abstract Home‐field advantage (HFA) hypothesis regarding litter decomposition states that litter is decomposed more rapidly in the habitat from which it is derived (i.e., home) than in other habitat (i.e., away) due to local adaptation of soil decomposers.

Microbial community dynamics during decomposition of insect exuviae and frass in soil [PDF]

Soil Biology and Biochemistry
With the expected growth of insect mass rearing industry, residual streams are set to become increasingly available. However, before these residues can be used as organic amendments, more knowledge of the decomposition dynamics and the associated ...

Application of electron beam (eBeam) to inactivate Salmonella in insects, insect meal, and frass

Journal of Economic Entomology
Abstract With the projected increase in the global population to 10 billion by 2050, the global agricultural system is under immense strain to meet the growing demand for food while also ensuring sustainability and efficiency. Insects present a promising alternative to traditional feed sources, as they can transform low-quality ...

Sympodiomycopsis yantaiensis sp. nov., a basidiomycetous yeast isolated from insect frass

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2013
Two strains (NYNU 121010Tand NYNU 121032) of a novel basidiomycetous yeast species belonging to the genusSympodiomycopsiswere isolated from insect frass collected from trunks of a pagoda tree (Sophora japonicaL.) in Yantai, Shandong province, east China.

Fall Armyworm Frass Induce Sorghum Defenses Against Insect Herbivores

Journal of Chemical Ecology
The fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda) is a global invasive agricultural pest. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), an important monocot crop cultivated worldwide, faces significant challenges from FAW, which has become a major threat to sorghum production. Plants have evolved a wide array of defense mechanisms to combat insect assault.

A phytocytokine and its derived peptides in the frass of an insect elicit rice defenses

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology
ABSTRACTUpon recognizing elicitors derived from herbivores, many plants activate specific defenses. Most of the elicitors identified thus far are from the oral secretions and egg‐laying fluids of herbivores; in contrast, herbivore fecal excreta have been sparsely studied in this context.

INSECT FRASS: NATURE’S HIDDEN TREASURE FOR SOIL FERTILITY: A REVIEW

Plant Archives
The growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has led to an increased interest in insect farming and its by-products. Insect frass, consisting of insect excreta, exuviae, and residual feed particles, is emerging as a promising biofertilizer due to its rich nutrient profile and microbial communities.

Emerging applications of insect (protein, lipid) and insect waste (chitosan, frass, exuviae) -derived materials in sustainable technologies: A review

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
Insect farming is an emerging industry that produces larvae, adults, and various byproducts for applications in human food, animal feed, biofuels, and biorefinery processes, as it contains many important macromolecules, such as protein and lipids. Recent advances have highlighted the potential of insect-derived waste, such as chitin, frass, and exuviae,
