[ 1 ] - Effects of natural polymer (Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate) and its degrading bacteria on lipid metabolism and digestive tract pH in Siberian Sturgeon Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869 fingerlings

Five hundred and ninety two Siberian sturgeon (A. baerii) fingerlings (average weight, 11.1±0.9 g) were randomly distributed in 16 tanks (150 L) at a density of 35 fish per tank and fed different treatments (Control, degrading bacteria, 2% PHB, degrading bacteria + 2%PHB) for 60 days. At the end of the experiment, the results indicated that the fish fed PHB or bacteria treatments had low midgut...

[ 2 ] - Effects of Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and PHB degrading bacteria (Acidovorax sp.) on the growth performance, body composition and bacterial metabolic activity in Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) fingerlings

Five hundred and ninety two Siberian sturgeon fingerlings (average weight, 11.1±0.9 g) were randomly distributed in 16 tanks (150 L) at a density of 35 fish per tank and fed different treatments (Control, degrading bacteria, 2% PHB, degrading bacteria + 2%PHB) for 60 days. At the end of the experiment, no significant difference was observed in case of final weight in fingerlings but fish fed PH...

[ 3 ] - The effects of the combination of bioplastic and its degrading bacteria (Genus Acidovorax) on the metabolic activity of anaerobic bacteria in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) fingerlings hindgut by using CLPP

Community Level Physiological Profiles (CLPP) is novel method to evaluate microbial activity and diversity in ecosystems. According to the previous findings, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a bio-control product, increases bacterial diversity in some aquatic animals. In this study, the effects of four experimental diets (control, combination of two PHB degrading bacteria, 2% PHB, bacteria+ 2% P...
