Prospectives of Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Synbiotics for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture

A marine probiotic treatment against the bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus to improve the performance of Pacific (Crassostrea gigas) and Kumamoto (C. sikamea) oyster larvae

“…Knowledge of the beneficial modes of action of probiotics is sparse, particularly in the aquatic environment when probiotic benefits could be related to interactions with the rearing environment, the host-associated microbial community, or with the host's eukaryotic cells (Gomez-Gil et al, 2000;Lebeer et al, 2010;Prado et al, 2010;Van Doan et al, 2020). These modes could include modulation of the resident microbiome to a more beneficial state, direct antagonism against individual cells of a pathogen, such as killing by direct contact and toxin secretion, production of antimicrobials, or by changing environmental conditions in ways that limit pathogen growth via competitive exclusion (Bhogoju & Nahashon, 2022;Kaushik et al, 2022;Kesarcodi-Watson et al, 2008;Sohn et al, 2016). Probiotics may also directly interact with the eukaryotic cells of the host and contribute to digestion by supplying enzymes, acting as a nutritional source, restoring mucosal integrity and barrier functions, or modulating the immune response (Bhogoju & Nahashon, 2022;Kesarcodi-Watson et al, 2008;Sohn et al, 2016).…”

Characterization of bacterial communities in prebiotics and probiotics treated shrimp farms from Kuantan

“…Meanwhile, prebiotics are non-digestible food components that promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the gut (Iwashita et al, 2015). Probiotics have the potential to be used as biocontrol agents by modifying the composition of bacterial flora through competitive exclusion and encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria (Zorriehzahra et al, 2016;Kaushik et al, 2022). Thus, introducing synbiotics (prebiotics and probiotics) in dietary supplements can boost shrimp production by improving shrimp immunity and the growth of cultivated species (Xie et al, 2019).…”

Effects of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics as an Alternative to Antibiotics on Growth and Blood Profile of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

“…Aspergillus oryzae is a flamentous fungus and is used as a probiotic enhanced growth performance and blood profle in Nile tilapia [20]. Prebiotics are fbers derived from plants or sugar conversed food materials that are indigestible to the host but can be utilized by gut bacteria, and their use increases benefcial gut commensal bacteria [21,22]. Prebiotics contributes to stimulating selected favorable indigenous microbial populations, resulting in improvements in the host's health.…”
