Assessment of microbial dynamics and antioxidant enzyme gene expression following probiotic administration in farmed Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

The aims of this study were to explore the effect of a probiotic consortium at different concentrations (low, medium and high) on bacterial community structure and composition in the hepatopancreas and digestive tract of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei reared under superintensive condition...

Description
Summary:The aims of this study were to explore the effect of a probiotic consortium at different concentrations (low, medium and high) on bacterial community structure and composition in the hepatopancreas and digestive tract of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei reared under superintensive conditions, as well as to investigate its effect on gene expression of antioxidant enzymes. After the 69-day experimental period, shrimp treated with high probiotic concentration showed higher final growth, specific growth rate, weight gain and survival (p
