Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which is closely related to Bacillus subtilis, produces a series of metabolites that can inhibit the growth of fungi and bacteria. Here, we investigated the effect of B. amyloliquefaciens used as a probiotic on the innate immunity of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii when challenged with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Dietary B. amyloliquefaciens supplement significantly reduced the mortality of WSSV-challenged crayfish and reduced copy numbers of WSSV. The quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results showed that B. amyloliquefaciens supplement increased the expression of several immune-related genes, including Toll-like receptor, NF-κB and C-type-lectin. Further analysis showed that B. amyloliquefaciens supplement also had an effect on three immune parameters, including total hemocyte count, phenoloxidase activity and superoxide dismutase activity. In both infected and uninfected crayfish, B. amyloliquefaciens supplement significantly decreased hemocyte apoptosis. Our results showed that B. amyloliquefaciens can regulate innate immunity of crayfish and reduce the mortality following WSSV challenge. This study provides a novel insight into the potential for therapeutic or prophylactic intervention with B. amyloliquefaciens to regulate crayfish immunity and protect against WSSV infection, and also provides a theoretical basis for the use of probiotics as aquatic feed additives.

This study investigated the efficacy of using probiotics on the performance and health parameters of sows and their litters. A randomized block design was used with 584 sows and 292 replications, with two dietary treatments: the control group (basal diet without probiotics) and the probiotic group (basal diet supplemented with 400 g/ton of a probiotic composed of () 541 and () 516). Feed intake was evaluated throughout the experimental period.

Leather industry is traditionally characterized by the use of large amounts of chemical agents, some of which are toxic to human health and the environment. However, during the last years, many efforts have been made with the aim of successfully implement enzymes as agents for different leather production stages. The lipopeptides produced by the Bacillus spp.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the effects of incorporating nano- (NBA) dietary supplements into the diets of Nile tilapia, focusing on growth, digestion, and immune responses.
  • A total of 135 fish were tested in three groups over 70 days, with diets containing 0, 10, and 10 CFU/kg of NBA.
  • Results showed that fish fed the NBA diets experienced significant growth improvements, better digestive enzyme levels, enhanced immune responses, and increased survival rates in challenge tests, suggesting NBA could be beneficial for aquaculture nutrition.
