Cyberlindnera jadinii yeast as a functional protein source for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): Early response of intestinal mucosal compartments in the distal intestine.

The interplay between nutrition and the immune system is well recognized, and several studies show that experimental diets elicit local morphological changes and alteration of gene and protein expression in the intestinal mucosa of Atlantic salmon. In this study the pathophysiological effects of experimental diets on mucosal responses in the distal intestine of Atlantic salmon were investigated. Atlantic salmon were fed diets with inclusion of soybean meal (SBM) and Cyberlindnera jadinii (CJ) yeast for 7 days.

Candida utilis yeast as a functional protein source for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): Local intestinal tissue and plasma proteome responses.

Microbial ingredients such as Candida utilis yeast are known to be functional protein sources with immunomodulating effects whereas soybean meal causes soybean meal-induced enteritis in the distal intestine of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). Inflammatory or immunomodulatory stimuli at the local level in the intestine may alter the plasma proteome profile of Atlantic salmon.
