Assessment of hemolytic activity, enzyme production and bacteriocin characterization of Bacillus subtilis LR1 isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of fish

Abstract: In the present investigation, probiotic potential (antagonistic activity, enzyme production, hemolytic activity, biosafety, antibiotic sensitivity and bile tolerance level) of Bacillus subtilis LR1 was evaluated. Bacteriocin produced by the bacterial strain B. subtilis LR1 isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of Labeo rohita was purified and characterized. The molecular weight of the purified bacteriocin was ~50 kDa in 12 % Native PAGE and showed inhibitory activity against four fish pathogens such as Baci… Show more

“…However, this increased nutrient digestibility are due to the elevated level of digestive enzymes (protease, amylase, cellulose, phytase, etc.) produced by the probiotic altered gut-associated microbial community in the host (Banerjee, Nandi, & Ray, 2017;Burr & Gatlin, 2005;Ghosh, Banerjee, Moon, Khan, & Dutta, 2017). For example, few bacteria (viz.…”

“…Disease in aquatic organisms, including fish, is a major threat to farmers and causes massive losses in production. Fish are susceptible to wide varieties of lethal diseases caused by different types of bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic agents (Taoka et al ; Phani Kumar and Sree Ramulu ; Subharanjani et al ; Banerjee et al ; Nandi et al ). According to FAO (), every year several countries, including India, face major losses in aquaculture production mainly due to bacterial diseases.…”

“…Akhter et al indicate that probiotics are microorganisms that are administered orally in a sufficient amount to alter the microbiota (by implantation or colonization) of the specific host and lead to benefits for the host's health [4]. On the other hand, Banerjee et al define probiotics as living microorganisms that confer beneficial effects to the host (improves immunity, helps digestion, protects against pathogens, improves water quality, and promotes growth and reproduction), and can be used as an alternative to antibiotics [5] (Figure 1). Probiotics include Grampositive, Gram-negative bacteria, and many other organisms such as yeasts, bacteriophage, and single-celled algae [6].…”
