Abstract

Objective To isolate culturable intestinal bacteria from Clogmia albipunctata larvae, determine the digestive enzyme-producing activity and drug resistance of the bacteria, and to explore the effects of intestinal bacteria on food digestion and acclimatization of C. albipunctata. Methods The traditional isolation and culture method was used for the isolation and purification of culturable intestinal bacteria from C. albipunctata larvae, and 16S rRNA sequencing was used for identification. The flat transparent circle method was applied to screen for bacteria producing amylase, protease, cellulase, or lipase. The ratio of transparent circle diameter (D) to bacterial colony diameter (d) was calculated to compare the digestive enzyme-producing activities of different bacteria. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 software. The one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups. When the variance is homogeneous, S-N-K multiple comparison was performed; when the variance is not homogeneous, the Dunnett's T3 test was performed. The paper disk diffusion method was used to analyze the drug susceptibility of different culturable intestinal bacteria. Results A total of 12 species of bacteria belonging to 5 genera were isolated from the intestine of C. albipunctata larvae. There were 7 species belonging to the genus Bacillus-B. vietnamensis, B. subtilis subsp., B. thuringiensis, B. aryabhattai, B. cereus, Lysinibacillus fusiformis, and L. pakistanensis. There were 2 species belonging to the genus Enterococcus-E. casseliflavus and E. gallinarum. There was 1 species each belonging to the genus Exiguobacterium, Leucobacter, and Staphylococcus-E. profundum, L. celer subsp., and S. sciuri. Among these bacteria, 8 species showed amylase-producing activity, 6 species showed protease-producing activity, and no bacteria showed cellulase- or lipase-producing activity. There was a significant difference in amylase-producing activity between the 8 species of bacteria (F=8.779, P<0.001). B. vietnamensis, B. subtilis subsp. and E. profundum had relatively high activity of producing amylase. There was a significant difference in protease-producing activity between the 6 species of bacteria (F=23.980, P<0.001). B. vietnamensis and B. subtilis subsp. had relatively high activity of producing protease. In drug susceptibility tests, S. sciuri showed resistance to 6 antibiotics, E. gallinarum were resistant to 5 antibiotics, and B. aryabhattai and E. casseliflavus showed resistance to 4 antibiotics. Conclusion The culturable intestinal bacteria from C. albipunctata larvae have the ability to produce amylase and protease, which may assist in digestion and breakdown of food. The intestinal bacteria generally have certain drug resistance, which can help C. albipunctata larvae survive in a dirty environment.
