Limited studies on the intestinal bacteria of the silkworm have been reported since 1990, however studies of the isolation and identification of gut bacteria and digestive enzymes produced in the silkworm gut (Byeon et al., 2005; Anand et al., 2010; Shi et al., 2010) were conducted, and some microbial flora was found to be closely related to silkworm physiology, metabolism and disease resistance (Campbell, 1989).
