“…saccharophillus on MPO activity, respiratory burst and phagocytic response observed in the present study are in agreement with earlier observations of other researchers who studied the use of probiotics in aquaculture. For instance 130% increase in phagocytic activity, 50% increase in respiratory burst and 62% increase in myeloperoxidase activity was reported in rainbow trout fed on B. subtilis supplemented diet for 14d [17], 75% increase in respiratory burst and 50% increase in myeloperoxidase activity was observed in tilapia fed for 40d on L. lactis supplemented diet [45] and 29% increase in phagocytic activity and 25% increase in respiratory burst activity in L. rohita fed for 60d on P. aeruginosa supplemented diet [46]. The reactive O 2 species (ROS) produced by phagocytes upon activation (oxidative respiratory burst) (Table 2; Figure 3) are toxic to pathogens and hence their concentration can be thoroughly correlated to an increased killing ability of phagocytes [44,45].…”

“…The live yeast, Debaryomyces hansenii administered through diet for 5 weeks increased IgM levels by 15% in the leopard grouper, Mycteroperca rosacea [52], while L. acidophilus administered for 105d to Catla catla increased IgM levels by 4% [38]; Pediococcus acidilacticion, supplemented for 126 d enhanced the same by 24% in the ornamental fish Oscar [53]. On the other hand, serum IgM levels increased by 26 and 47% in grouper fish upon supplementation of B. pumilus and B. clausii respectively for 30d but decreased by 20 and 15% respectively with continued supplementation till 60 d [23]; L. rohita showed 24% increase and 9% decrease upon supplementation of P. aeruginosa for 30 and 60d respectively [46]; and the rainbow trout, O. mykiss, showed significant increase in plasma immunoglobulin upon 20d supplementation L. rhamnosus which decreased significantly thereafter with continued treatment [13].…”

Objective: Indiscriminate use of antibiotics to control fish diseases has led to the development and propagation of antibiotic resistant bacteria in aquatic ecosystems. Amongst the various alternatives proposed, enhancing immunity in fish using probiotics is the most widely accepted approach. Several earlier studies indicated the possibility of more potent effects of bacteria on fish when administered in live condition than as inactivated cells. But very few studies have explored the effect of gut bacteria on innate immune responses of fishes. Hence an attempt is made to study immunostimulatory effects of dietary supplementation of Bacillus subtilis and Terribacillus saccharophillus isolated from the gut of an edible Indian freshwater fish, Labeo rohita, in the same species.Methods: Long term administration (for 30 and 60 days) of B. subtilis or T. saccharophillus isolated from the gut wall of L. rohita were tested in the same species for their ability to improve innate immunity through measurement of the phagocytic activity, respiratory burst, myeloperoxidase activity, serum IgM levels, serum lectins, haemagglutination and haemolytic activity.Results: Dietary administration of 107 cfu/g of B.subtilis/T. saccharophillus for 30 (B 1 ) or 60 (B 2 ) days resulted in a significant increase in immune and humoral responses of L. rohita. Serum phagocytic activity, respiratory burst activity, myeloperoxidase activity, serum lectins, haemagglutination and haemolytic activity increased upon administration of B.subtilis / T. saccharophillus, except serum IgM levels which increased only in B 1 . A positive correlation was observed between the duration of supplementation of diets and the responses in both the cases. Conclusion:The results suggest that T. saccharophillus can also be used as a potent probiont similar to B.subtilis and both will have significant applications in fish feed formulations and disease prevention.

“…Bacteria that are probiotic in one species can act as pathogens in another, so the prescreening of bacteria before largescale application is advisable. For example, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is probiotic in the tropical freshwater fish rohu (Labeo rohita) and in western king prawns (Penaeus latisulcatus) but is a pathogen in humans [119,120].…”

Abstract:The farming of edible insects is an alternative strategy for the production of protein-rich food and feed with a low ecological footprint. The industrial production of insect-derived protein is more cost-effective and energy-efficient than livestock farming or aquaculture. The mealworm Tenebrio molitor is economically among the most important species used for the large-scale conversion of plant biomass into protein. Here, we review the mass rearing of this species and its conversion into food and feed, focusing on challenges such as the contamination of food/feed products with bacteria from the insect gut and the risk of rapidly spreading pathogens and parasites. We propose solutions to prevent the outbreak of infections among farmed insects without reliance on antibiotics. Transgenerational immune priming and probiotic bacteria may provide alternative strategies for sustainable insect farming.

“…Other studies showed an increase in immune response with the use of probiotics for different species, such Carnobacterium maltaromaticum B26 and Carnobacterium divergens B33 for rainbow trout [38], Lactobacillus belbrüeckii, Bacillus subtilis and Debaryomyces hansenii for gilthead seabream [39][40][41], B. subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for Labeo rohita [42,43], Lactococcus lactis for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [44] and B. simplex DR-834 to carp (Cyprinus carpio) [45].…”
