Distillers dried grain (DDG) and makgeolli spent grain (MSG) are agricultural byproducts to produce alcoholic beverage. However, they are known to contain enough nutrients. Mealworm is a promising insect resource for an animal feed ingredient as well as alternative human food. With low cost, DDG and MSG were investigated as a feed ingredient for rearing high quality mealworms. DDG and MSG were mixed with wheat bran and compared to control feed (only wheat bran) for its effects on larval survivorship, larval weight, duration for developmental period, pupation rate, and pupal weight. When DDG added, larval survivorship was reduced to 50~70% compared to the control group. Larvae fed on DDG were heavier from third to sixth week. Especially, larvae with 50% DDG were 28% heavier than the control group at the third week. For the larval period, the 50% DDG group was 11% less than that for the control. The pupal weight for the 30% DDG group was 7% heavier than that for the control group. Pupation rates for all the DDG groups were higher than 90%. When compared to the control, larval survivorship for the 70% MSG group was low, but the 50% and 70% MSG groups were high during the seventh and eighth weeks because of delayed development. After the eighth week, larvae with 70% MSG showed the highest larval weight increase as 9~18% compared to the control group. Except 70% MSG group, all of MSG groups showed more than 90% pupation rates. We confirmed that adding 30~50% of DDG or MSG to conventional wheat bran have a strong potential to replace the conventional wheat bran insect feed for quality insect production.

최근 전국적으로 대추재배 면적이 증가함에 따라 친환경 재배 농가 또한 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 친환경 대추재배 과원의 경우 해충에 의한 많은 피해를 받고 있음에도 불구하고 효과가 검증되지 않은 시판 유기농업자재를 처리 하는 등의 방법 외에는 마땅한 방제 방법이 없는 실정이다. 따라서 친환경적 방법으로 높은 방제 효율을 보일 수 있을 것으로 판단되는 방충망을 설치하여 해충의 차단 효과 및 방충망 내 대추 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과 방충망을 설치한 처리구의 경우 상당히 높은 해충 차단 효과를 가지는 것을 알 수 있다. 그중 보은 지역 친환경 재배 농가에서 가장 큰 피해를 끼치고 있는 복숭아 심식나방의 경우 모든 방충망 처리구에서 완벽한 차단 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 방충망을 설치에 의해 대추나무의 과실, 잎, 착과량의 뚜렷한 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 방충망을 설치할 경우 대추 생육에 큰 문제없이 해충을 차단시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

전국 각지에서 채집한 사멸곤충에서 분리한 곤충 기생성 진균이 생산하는 살충성 생리활성물질을 탐색한 결과 곰팡이 분리주 CNAB-63 균주가 목화진딧물과 점박이응애 모두에 대해 다른 분리균주들보다 비교적 높은 살충효과를 보인 바, 본 균주가 생산하는 살충성분을 각종 chromatography로 분리 정제하였다. 정제된 활성물질 CNAB는 점박이응애에서 66.59%, 목화진딧물에서 52.96%의 살충효과를 보였으며, 그 외에도 온실가루이에 살충효과를 보였으나 배추좀나방에는 미미한 살충효과를 보였다. 한편 활성물질 CNAB는 $100\;{\mu}g/disk$ 농도에서 곰팡이, 효모, 세균류에 전혀 항균활성을 보이지 않았다.

Insects are the most successful organisms on earth in terms of their diversity and adaptability. Insect biotechnology using this insect resource is an emerging area for future biotechnology with various applications. Insect resources have long been used to make food and/or functional food, feed, cosmetics as well as medicine and industrial ingredients. Recently, one of the most well-known industrial material from insect is spider silk that could be commercialize in near future. The insect cell lines have been used to express recombinant proteins that were difficult to be functional expression. For public purpose, while, the insect could be good amenity source and plant farming, so leisure resource. Only the interdisciplinary research will guarantee the successful story for insect biotechnology. And biochemical engineers should used insect as a bioresource for new products with applications in medicine, agriculture, and industrial biotechnology in near future. This review will cover state-of-the art of this field and the research and application areas of insect biotechnology and the possible role of biochemical engineer for the development of the future biotechnology using this bioresource.

Background: Artificial light at night has recently been identified as a major factor adversely affecting global insect diversity. Here, we compared the insect diversity in Gwangneung Forest Biosphere Reserve, specifically in the Korea National Arboretum (with no artificial light at night), with that of three nearby urban sites with a gradient of artificial light at night (five locations at each site). We analyzed the effects of the artificial night lighting index, mean annual temperature, and field light intensity (lux) at night on the insect community structure. Results: The urban sites generally exhibited higher species richness and abundance as well as clear indicator species compared with the control site. The size distribution of the collected insects markedly differed between the control and the three urban sites. The abundance of herbivorous and omnivorous insects increased and decreased, respectively, with the increase in light intensity. Species richness of herbivorous and omnivorous insects was likely correlated with the field light intensity at night and artificial night lighting index, respectively. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the association between nighttime environment and marked changes in insect community structure and revealed consequent transition of ecosystem services by changes in trophic group composition.

In this paper we will assess the feasibility of some insect behavior-modifying chemicals for insect control, such as male orientation inhibitor, female calling interrupter and female attractant of cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera. These behavior-modifying chemicals have advantages of simple chemical structure, easy to synthesize and low price of products. The effects of sub-lethal insecticides on insect chemical communication system and the differences of pheromone communication systems between the resistant and susceptible strain of H. armigera will also be discussed.

The effects of insect growth regulator Dimilin which interfere with the synthesis of chitin in the cuticle of insect larvae were investigated at various concentrations using the crab larvae of Hemigrapsus sanguineus. The larvae were cultured at control, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 $\mu g$ Dimilin solutions and three replicate experiments were carried out to give correct analysis. Significant differences in percent mortality have occurred between control and 10$\mu g$ when the larvae were exposed to Dimilin whereas no differences were found between 5 and 10$\mu g$ Dimilin concentrations. If lethal concentration is defined as concentration at which less than 10 percent of crab larvae reach to the last zoeal stage from hatching it can be concluded that insect growth regulator Dimilin is lethal to the larvae of Hemigrapsus sanguineus at 5 and 10$\mu g$ Dimilin.

This paper demonstrates how to implement inherent pitching stability in an insect-mimicking flapping-wing system for vertical takeoff. Design and fabrication of the insect-mimicking flapping-wing system is briefly described focusing on the recent modification. Force produced by the flapping-wing systems is estimated using the UBET (Unsteady Blade Element Theory) developed in the previous work. The estimation shows that the wing twist placed in the modified system can improve thrust production for about 10 %. The estimated thrust is compared with the measured thrust, which proves that the UBET provides fairly good estimations for the thrust produced by the flapping-wing systems. The vertical takeoff test shows that inherent pitching stability can be implemented in an insect-mimicking flapping-wing system by aligning the aerodynamic force center and center of gravity.

이 연구는 식품원료로 등록되고 건강기능성 효능이 널리 알려지면서 생산과 수요가 점차 증가하고 있는 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 사육환경 제어를 위한 식용곤충 스마트팜 공조시스템을 설계하여 제안하고자 수행하였다. 제안된 곤충 스마트팜 공조 시스템은 사육실과 공조실을 구분하여 사육에 최적화된 환경을 공조실에서 만들어 사육실로 보급하는 시스템으로 기존 곤충 사육농가에서 냉난방기, 가습기 등을 통한 환경 제어를 할 때 사육실 내 부분별로 온도 및 습도 등이 매우 상이하여 식용곤충을 판매할 때 균일한 크기 및 무게의 흰점박이꽃무지 유충을 생산하기 어렵다는 문제점의 해결책으로 제시될 수 있다. 곤충 스마트팜 공조 시스템을 사용함으로써 기존 곤충농가의 환경제어에 비해 온도의 차를 6℃, 습도의 차를 24.7%를 감소할 수 있으며 사육실 내 부분별로 온·습도가 다른 점을 개선하여 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 사육 최적 환경을 계절에 상관없이 상시 제공함으로써 연중 생산을 통한 생산량 증대와 곤충 사육농가의 소득증대를 도모할 수 있다. 또한 제안된 곤충스마트팜 공조시스템은 설정된 최적 온도, 습도 및 CO₂를 효율적으로 제어함으로써 갈색거저리 등 기타 식용곤충의 사육 및 버섯류의 생육에 필요한 환경제어 시스템으로도 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Biological control of turfgrass insect pest Blitopertha orientalis, forest insect pests, Agelastica coerulea, Meganola melancholia, and Glyphodes perspectalis,vegetable insect pests, Plutella xylostella and Agrotis segetum were conducted with entonopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae J-22 isolated from black pine forest soil in Cheju province. Mortality of B. orientalis larvae was 53.3% at the rate of 3.4 $\times$ 1O 7 conidia /ml. A. coerulea and M melancholia larvae showed 100% mortalities at 9.6 $\times$ 106 conidia /ml and 2.7 $\times$ 10 7 conidia /ml as well. However, G. perspectalis larvae were not dead even at 4$\times$ 1O 7 conidia /ml. On the other hand, M anisopliae J-22 was effective against P. xylostella larvae showing 100% mortality at 4 $\times$ 10 7 conidia /ml.
