Identification of the gut bacteria of the greater wax moth

Throughout the world, use of industrial polymers derived from fossil fuels is practically inevitable because they have such a wide range applications; however, environmental problems arising this practice led to search for alternatives which will allow their be reduced, as well strategies control by degradation using biorganic active agents. Insects been focus special interest, some species consume plastics and may serve biodegrade them through action bacteria in digestive tracts. In context, object present study was characterise intestine wax moth larvae (Galleria mellonella). Thirty were subjected diet based on polystyrene foam thirty natural 7 days. Gastrointestinal tracts extracted PCR run. The results showed presence bacterial cells Carnobacterium maltaromaticum, Brevibacterium sandarakinum, Pseudomonas psychrophila, sp., Providence Corynebacterium sp. However, real these groups effective must verified.
