Black soldier fly larvae (larvae) can digest organic wastes and degrade contaminants such as oxytetracycline (OTC). However, compared to the kinetic processes and enhanced mechanisms used in the traditional microbial degradation of OTC, those employed by larvae are largely uncharacterized. To obtain...
