Evaluation of Bacillus albus SMG-1 and B. safensis SMG-2 isolated from Saemangeum Lake as probiotics for aquaculture of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Microbiota from Litopenaeus vannamei: digestive tract microbial community of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Bacteria capable of producing different extracellular enzymes of potential relevance in digestive processes were isolated from the stomach, hepatopancreas and intestine of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. A total of 64 strains with proteolytic activity were isolated and grouped into 16 clusters based on morphological characteristics: 4 groups were isolated from the intestine; 5 from t...

Probiotics in Larvae and Juvenile Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Evaluation of antibacterial activity of Pseudomonas species isolated from Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei Boone, 1931) against pathogenic Vibrio spp.

In this research antibacterial activity of Pseudomonas isolates derived from hepatopancreas of Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated against pathogenic Vibrio spp. Shrimp samples collected from 9 different ponds in Tiab region- Hormozgan province. Hepatopancreas samples of collected shrimps were inoculated in three different isolation media. Pseudomonas Isolation Agar medium revealed highest yiel...

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus licheniformis CG-B52, a Highly Virulent Bacterium of Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), Isolated from a Colombian Caribbean Aquaculture Outbreak

Bacillus licheniformis strain CG-B52 was isolated as the etiological agent producing a self-limited outbreak of high mortalities in commercial Litopenaeus vannamei culture ponds on the Colombian Caribbean coast in 2005. Here, we report its draft genome and three novel extrachromosomal elements that it harbors.

Noradrenaline modulates the immunity of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei.

The total haemocyte count (THC), phenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency in response to pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus were measured when the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (18.4 +/- 1.2 g) were injected individually with noradrenaline at 10(-8), 10(-7) and 10(-6) mol shrimp(-1). For the shrimp that received ...
