Thus, the bioconversion of CEW via in situ fermentation by exo-microbes from commercial Rid-X and subsequent valorization by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) was the primary objective of the current study to gain sustainable larval lipid and protein. Accordingly, various concentrations of exo-microbes were separately homogenized with CEW to perform fermentation amidst feeding to BSFL. It was found that 2.50 of exo-microbes was the threshold amount entailed to assuage competition between exo-microbes and BSFL for common nutrients. The presence of remnant nutrients exuded from the fermentation using 2.50 of exo-microbes was confirmed to promote BSFL growth measured as maximum larval weight gained and growth rate. Although the BSFL could accumulate the highest protein (16 mg/larva) upon feeding with CEW containing 2.50 of exo-microbes, more lipid (13 mg/larva) was stored in employing 0.10 of exo-microbes because of minimum loss to metabolic processes while prolonging the BSFL in its 5th instar stage. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. date: 2020 publisher: Springer official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85084212784&doi=10.1007%2fs11356-020-09034-2&partnerID=40&md5=802d395dbb9ce27a9a4a018efa008fe6 id_number: 10.1007/s11356-020-09034-2 full_text_status: none publication: Environmental Science and Pollution Research volume: 27 number: 19 pagerange: 24574-24581 refereed: TRUE issn: 09441344 citation: Hasnol, S. and Lim, J.W. and Wong, C.Y. and Lam, M.K. and Ntwampe, S.K.O.
