Tenebrio
molitor is a species of darkling beetle (order Coleoptera), which produces
larvae that are commonly called mealworms. Acting as decomposers in the natural
environment, they feed on decaying plant materials and dead insects. In
addition, as a result of its easy handling and non-fastidious culture
conditions, T. molitor is used as a pet food, an educational material, and as a
biological research model. I am interesting in this insect as a bological
research material firstly. One day I saw this insect eat styrofoam. I prepared
a special aria for experiment and I put it a box and it include only strafoam.
I checekt it after 10 days and i saw it which eat strafoam. We can use this
insect as a strafoam degredation. Because the insect gut is a distinctive
habitat for microbial colonization. Bacterial communities are thought to
perform many roles that are beneficial to their food.
