Abstract:Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) biomass is an emerging alternative protein source, yet research of PNSB as added-value protein ingredient is limited. This research aimed to study the use of PNSB as protein source for shrimp and investigate the shrimp's tolerance against Vibrio and ammonia stress. A 28-day shrimp feeding trial was performed with Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Rhodobacter capsulatus and a mixed PNSB culture. PNSB contained in feed (5-10% protein substitution) resulted in 5-26% higher individual w… Show more
