Isolation and screening of antibacterial and enzyme producing marine actinobacteria to approach probiotics against some pathogenic vibrios in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Probiotics in Larvae and Juvenile Whiteleg Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Enzyme assisted extraction of chitin from shrimp shells (Litopenaeus vannamei)

8 BACKGROUND: Chemical chitin extraction generates large amounts of wastes and increases partial 9 deacetylation of the product. Therefore, the use of biological methods for chitin extraction is an 10 interesting alternative. The effects of process conditions on enzyme assisted extraction of chitin from 11 the shrimp shells in a systematic way were the focal points of this study. 12 RESULTS: De...

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...

Probiotics in the intestinal tract of juvenile whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei: modulation of the bacterial community.

Molecular analysis of the 16S rDNA of the intestinal microbiota of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was examined to investigate the effect of a Bacillus mix (Bacillus endophyticus YC3-b, Bacillus endophyticus C2-2, Bacillus tequilensisYC5-2) and the commercial probiotic (Alibio(®)) on intestinal bacterial communities and resistance to Vibrio infection. PCR and single strain conformation pol...

Selective Isolation and Screening of Actinobacteria Strains Producing Lignocellulolytic Enzymes Using Olive Pomace as Substrate

Background: Olive pomace, as the main by-product of the olive oil industry, is recently recycled as fermentation substrate for enzyme production.Objectives: Actinobacteria isolates were separated from an Algerian soil under olive pomace cultivation and were evaluated for their lignocellulolytic enzymes production.Materials and Methods: Isolates of Actinobacteria were separated from ...
