Effects of transient high temperature treatment on the intestinal flora of the silkworm Bombyx mori

Abstract The silkworm Bombyx mori is a poikilotherm and is therefore sensitive to various climatic conditions. The influence of temperature on the intestinal flora and the relationship between the intestinal flora and gene expression in the silkworm remain unknown. In the present study, changes of t...
