Effect on the Probionts to the Enhancement of Silk Proteins (Sericin and Fibroin) in the Silk Gland and Cocoons of Silkworm (L× CSR2) Bombyx Mori (L.)
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori (L), a Lepidopteran molecular model and an important economic insect. The silkworm, B. mori produces massive amount of silk proteins during the final stage of larval development (Fifth instars). These proteins are stored in the middle silk gland and they are discharged through the anterior duct and spinneret, at the end of the fifth instar. There two kinds of silk proteins have been distinguished as major components of silk cocoons, the first being real silk fibre namely fibroin (H-chain), and the second being adhesive substance namely sericin (L-chain). The silkworm is being used as biofactory for the production in the silk industry, which has promoted by the application of five probiotic supplementation feeding techniques. The probiotic candidates were identified and used in the nutritional augmentation and the production of quantitatively and qualitatively improved silk. The outcome this research will be a boon to the silk farmers.
