Abstract

The cocroach order (Blattodea) attracts attention of researchers due to unique physiology and adaptive strategies. Investigations of cockroach physiology and adaptive mechanisms are of interest for both developing effective pest combating strategies and prospective biotechnological research. In the context of biochemical adaptability, the key feature of the cockroaches is a symbiosis withBlattabacterium, which provides for effective nitrogen and amino acid metabolism. Gut microbiota, which regulates nitrogen, carbohydrate and vitamin metabolism, is also embedded in the common symbiotic system of the organism. Therefore,Blattabacteriumand gut microbiota form a united adaptive system. Literary data on this area is extensive, but mostly deals with particular components of the cockroach symbiotic interactions. A comprehensive analysis covering all of the system’s elements in the context of their biochemical interdependence and common adaptive potential is a rarity. This review aims at revealing understudied patterns in the mechanisms of biochemical integration between a cockroach, its gut microbiota and Blattabacterium. Particular attention is given to the mechanisms underlying the high adaptability of cockroaches and having practical significance, as they could contribute to developing pest population control methods. Therefore, a substantial part of this review concerns the analysis of the mechanisms of symbiotic regulation of gene expression which can serve as a foundation for controlling cockroach adaptive reactions.
