Contribution of the Types of Tropical Coastal Aquaculture Ponds to the Differential Distribution of the Family Bacillaceae Bacterial Community

The family Bacillaceae bacteria, particularly Bacillus communities, are useful and attractive probiotics with desirable features to fulfill the vast demand for aquaculture. In Hainan Island, coastal aquaculture ponds hold about 1% of total area in China, whereas knowledge bacterial communities was limited. Herein, artificial (lined high-density polyethylene plastic sheets) earthen were investigated by culturable method. characteristics these two types showed a massive difference. All bacteria identified as ponds, dominated followed Halobacillus. It is worth noting that low diversity displayed high concentration better water quality, higher risk Vibrio infection, indicating than its made greater contribution purification control. This work besides providing promising strategy healthy balancing relationship between also will lay foundation development probiotic agents wastewater disease
