Article Synopsis
- Probiotic yeasts have become popular in aquaculture due to their health benefits for farmed fish, with a focus on autochthonous yeasts identified from goldfish.
- Four specific yeast strains were characterized from the intestinal tracts of healthy goldfish, and their probiotic properties were tested for things like cell surface hydrophobicity and ability to tolerate pH and bile salts.
- Results showed that these strains can co-aggregate with harmful bacteria and tolerate low pH, highlighting their potential as probiotic candidates, but further testing in real-life aquaculture settings is needed.
Characterization of a new strain indicates that it is not a later synonym of .
