Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study identified bacterial species that exist in insect guts and examined its activity of genetic transformation and reattachment to insect guts. We isolated several bacterial species from stag beetles and the two-spotted cricket. We found that one of the bacterial species could be transformed with plasmid DNA and reattached to cricket gut.
In addition, this study searched biological molecules that increase insect body size. We found that administration of royal jelly to silkworms or crickets increases their body sizes. The result suggests that biological molecules in royal jelly have an activity to increase insect body size.
