The fate of Candida tropicalis in the black soldier fly larvae and its nutritional effect suggest indirect interactions

Figure 2: (A) Relative Cnadida tropicalis load in the gut of BSF larvae from different treatments: supplemented C. tropicalis throughout the rearing process – CT+; supplemented C. tropicalis throughout the rearing process except for the last day – CT-; no supplemented C. tropicalis – control). (B) relative C. tropicalis load in different gut regions (anterior midgut – AM, middle midgut – MM, posterior midgut – PM, and hindgut – H).
