Fig. 5From: Gut microbiome of mealworms (Tenebrio molitor Larvae) show similar responses to polystyrene and corn straw dietsA proposed metabolic pathways of lignocellulose (CS) and PS plastic degradation in mealworms, and validation of the expression levels of related PS- and CS-degrading enzymes by RT-PCR (A-D). The 60S ribosomal protein 27a (Tml27a) of T. molitor was used as a reference gene; expression levels were calculated by the 2−ΔΔCtBack to article page
