16S rRNA Sequencing Analysis Uncovers Dose-Dependent Cupric Chloride Effects on Silkworm Gut Microbiome Composition and Diversity

Copper-based pesticides are extensively used in agriculture, yet their impacts on beneficial insects remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate how cupric chloride exposure affects the gut microbiome of Bombyx mori, a model organism crucial for silk production. Using 16S rRNA sequencing, we anal...
