Abstract

Sustainability has been one of the main issues in the world in recent years. The decrease of resources in the world, along with the growing world population, and the resulting environmental waste, present a fairly significant problem. As an alternative solution to this problem, insects are put forward as an ideal resource. Due to the enzymes and microorganisms in their intestinal microbiota, the biotransformation processes of insects are capable of converting wastes, organic materials, and residues into valuable products that can be used for various industrial applications such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, functional food, etc. Some species of insects are in an advantageous position because of the simplicity of their life cycle and the ease of their production and feeding on organic materials to make them valuable products. Considering the sustainability perspective, utilization of the microorganisms or enzymes isolated from these microorganisms available in the microbiota of insects may allow novel insect-based biotransformation processes that promise a more sustainable world and novel green technologies.

利用昆虫肠道作为生物资源促进未来生物转化过程的发展

可持续性是近年来世界上的主要问题之一。随着世界人口的增长，世界资源的减少，以及由此产生的环境浪费，提出了一个相当严重的问题。作为解决这一问题的另一种方法，昆虫被认为是一种理想的资源。由于昆虫肠道菌群中的酶和微生物，昆虫的生物转化过程能够将废物、有机物质和残留物转化为有价值的产品，可用于各种工业应用，如制药、化妆品、功能食品等。某些种类的昆虫处于有利地位，因为它们的生命周期简单，易于生产，并以有机材料为食，使其成为有价值的产品。考虑到可持续性的角度，利用昆虫微生物群中可获得的微生物或从这些微生物中分离出的酶可能会允许新的基于昆虫的生物转化过程，从而承诺更可持续的世界和新的绿色技术。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
