“…Biofilm are microbial communities encased by a self-made extracellular matrix [52]. Formation of probiotic biofilm has many benefits to host intestinal health via: (1) producing specific secondary metabolites and significantly increasing the resistivity to biological, chemical and physical assaults in the gut [53], (2) increasing the colonization efficiency and local concentration of antibiotics, (3) protecting gut epithelium by competing with pathogens for adherence sites, and (4) inducing host immune reactions to the pathogens [54]. In this study, all the isolated B. subtilis strains were capable of forming biofilms at high levels.…”

“…In order to control diseases, many veterinary medicines especially different kind of antibiotics flow into water [2], causing the pathogen resistance increases prominently. However, at present, probiotics have been viewed as a friendly alternative to antibiotics for their many advantages that have been reported.…”

“…The isolation of bacteria from the digestive tract of the animal species of interest is the first step to successfully obtain a new probiotic (Balcázar et al, 2006). This stage normally involves the isolation of dozens or even hundreds of strains.…”

-The objective of this work was to isolate strains of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential from the digestive tract of marine shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), and to carry out in vitro selection based on multiple characters. The ideotype (ideal proposed strain) was defined by the highest averages for the traits maximum growth velocity, final count of viable cells, and inhibition halo against nine freshwater and marine pathogens, and by the lowest averages for the traits duplication time and resistance of strains to NaCl (1.5 and 3%), pH (6, 8, and 9), and biliary salts (5%). Mahalanobis distance (D 2 ) was estimated among the evaluated strains, and the best ones were those with the shortest distances to the ideotype. Ten bacterial strains were isolated and biochemically identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (3), L. brevis (3), Weissella confusa (2), Lactococcus lactis (1), and L. delbrueckii (1). Lactobacillus plantarum strains showed a wide spectrum of action and the largest inhibition halos against pathogens, both Gram-positive and negative, high growth rate, and tolerance to all evaluated parameters. In relation to ideotype, L. plantarum showed the lowest Mahalanobis (D 2 ) distance, followed by the strains of W. confusa, L. brevis, L. lactis, and L. delbrueckii. Among the analyzed bacterial strains, those of Lactobacillus plantarum have the greatest potential for use as a probiotic for marine shrimp.Index terms: Litopenaeus vannamei, acid lactic bacteria, bioprospection, pathogen inhibition. Seleção in vitro de bactérias com potencial para uso como probióticos na carcinicultura marinhaResumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi isolar cepas de bactérias ácido-lácticas, com potencial probiótico do trato digestório de camarões marinhos e realizar seleção in vitro baseada em múltiplos caracteres. O ideótipo (cepa ideal proposta) foi definido por meio das maiores médias para os caracteres velocidade máxima de crescimento, contagem final de células viáveis e halo de inibição contra nove patógenos de origem continental e marinha, e pelas menores médias para os caracteres tempo de duplicação e tolerância das cepas a NaCl (1,5 e 3%), pH (6, 8 e 9) e sais biliares (5% Termos para indexação: Litopenaeus vannamei, bactérias ácido-lácticas, bioprospecção, inibição de patógenos.

“…7,8 Some species have been reported to cause infections in humans and aquatic animals, 9,10 whereas a small number of other species have been used as probiotics in aquaculture. 11,12 In the present study, a Gram-negative bacterium (BFLP-10 T ), with inhibitory activity against Vibrio species, was isolated from faeces of wild long-snouted seahorses (H. guttulatus) captured in northwest Spain. The phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene of BFLP-10 T indicated that it is closely related to members of the Harveyi clade.…”
