Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the compatibility and effectiveness of single-strain probiotics (SSPs) versus multi-strain probiotics (MSPs) in inhibiting pathogenic bacteria and forming biofilms.
- MSP1, consisting of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens L11, Enterococcus hirae LAB3, and Lysinibacillus fusiformis SPS11, showed superior antagonism against Aeromonas hydrophila compared to individual strains.
- MSP 2 demonstrated enhanced inhibition of Vibrio species, and both MSPs exhibited better biofilm formation and stress tolerance than their SSP counterparts, suggesting potential for use in aquatic species.
This investigation describes the impacts of dietary provisioning with astaxanthin on hemato-biochemistry, non-specific immunity, and disease resistance of the Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer, against the virulent Vibrio alginolyticus; with specific reference to dose-response associations and variations over different post-infection periods (0-, 7-, and 14-day). Triplicate groups of fish weighing 28 g, on average, were fed various diets (C, the control or astaxanthin-free; AXT50, 50 mg astaxanthin kg diet; AXT100, 100 mg astaxanthin kg diet; and AXT150, 150 mg astaxanthin kg diet) for 90 days and subsequently challenged with V. alginolyticus at the end of the feeding period.
