Probiotics have been widely used in aquaculture worldwide especially in China as antibiotics have been banned in aquaculture. In the present study, 27 potential strains were isolated from Rhynchocypris lagowskii Dybowski intestinal tract towards the assessment of their probiotic potential. Two potential probiotics were finally screened from the 27 candidate strains according to the results of enzyme-producing ability, in vitro against pathogens ability and antibiotic sensitivity test. The 2 potential probiotics were identified and confirmed on the basis of their colony morphology, biochemical characteristics, and 16S rRNA sequencing. The probiotic strains, LSG2-3–2 and LSG3-6, were identified to be Bacillus methylotrophicus and B. tequilensis, respectively. Further studies showed that LSG2-3–2 and LSG3-6 had excellent tolerance to high temperature (80℃), low pH (3–5), bile salts (0.3%), intestinal juice (10%), and gastric juice (0.5%). The adhesion rates of LSG2-3–2 and LSG3-6 in the in vitro intestinal mucosal adhesion model were 17.74% and 24.04%, respectively. Analysis of their bacteria surface adhesive proteins revealed that the lectins on the bacterial surface of LSG2-3–2 and LSG3-6 were mainly protein and glycoprotein properties, respectively. The adhesion receptor components in the mucus proteins of the two strains were all protein properties. The results of the inhibitory adhesion test indicated that LSG3-6 had a higher inhibitory effect on Aeromonas hydrophila and LSG2-3–2 had a better inhibitory effect on A. veronii. The biosafety assay confirmed that the isolates were not pathogenic to the host fish. Based on the presently observed characteristic features, it can be concluded that LSG2-3–2 (B. methylotrophicus) and LSG3-6 (B. tequilensis) retrieved from the digestive tract of R. lagowskii can be used for the healthy breeding and disease prevention of R. lagowskii.
Triplicate groups of gibel carp Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch (initial body weight: 4.89 g) were fed for 8 weeks at 24.8–30.8°C with nine isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets. The control diet (F1) used white fishmeal (FM) as the sole protein source. In the other eight diets (F2–F9), 40.5–100% of FM protein was substituted by poultry by‐product meal (PBM) at 8.5% increments. The specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio, protein retention efficiency and energy retention rate for fish fed PBM diets (F2–F9) were all higher, but not always significantly, than those for fish fed F1. All apparent digestibility coefficients for fish fed PBM diets were lower than those for fish fed F1. Fish fed F1 had a significantly higher hepatosomatic index value than fish fed PBM diets (P<0.05). No significant (P>0.05) effect of diet was found in whole‐body moisture and fat content. Whole‐body protein and energy content for fish fed PBM diets were slightly higher than that for fish fed F1. The optimal replacement level of FM by PBM was estimated by second‐order polynomial regression to be 66.5% in protein. 相似文献
This study evaluated the effects of replacing fishmeal with mussel meal or meat and bone meal in low‐FM diet on growth performance, body composition, digestibility, antioxidant capacity and IGF‐I gene expression in juvenile Ussuri catfish (Pseudobagrus ussuriensis). The results showed that no significant changes in SGR, FE and PER were observed between MM40 and LFM groups, but significantly reduced result was found in MBM40 group. MM40 group showed the higher ADC of lipid (93.30%) and lipase activity (95.00 U/gprot) than LFM group (90.97%; 70.18 U/gprot). MM40 or MBM40 diets led to significant reduction of SOD and CAT activities. MM40 group showed significantly higher MDA level (5.84 nmol/mg) than LFM group (4.73 nmol/mg). The activities of LZM decreased significantly in MM40 and MBM40 groups compared with LFM group. MM40 and MBM40 groups showed no significant difference in hepatic IGF‐I gene expression levels compared with LFM group. The findings demonstrated that MM could substitute 400 g/kg of FM in low‐FM diet for Ussuri catfish without influencing the growth, but to some extent, spontaneous oxidative stress and immune damage could occur; when 400 g/kg of FM was replaced by MBM, significantly negative effects were observed on growth, antioxidant capacity and non‐specific immune response of Ussuri catfish. 相似文献
