MATERIALS AND METHODS Cyanobacterial cultures.Water samples (n = 9) were collected from surface waters of the sea surrounding Vypeen Island (09°58' N, 76°17' E) using a Niskin ABSTRACT: Synechocystis MCCB 114 and 115 were segregated as putative probionts for shrimp larvae from a collection of 54 cyanobacterial cultures enriched from seawater. On feeding Penaeus monodon post-larvae with the cyanobacteria, the generic diversity of the intestinal bacterial flora could be enhanced with substantial reduction or total absence of Vibrio spp. A significant difference (p < 0.001) in the percent survival of batches of post-larvae fed on the cyanobacterial cultures was observed and, on repeated challenge with V. harveyi, the relative percent survival of those batches of larvae fed on Synechocystis MCCB 114 and 115 was significantly higher. The Synechocystis MCCB 114 and 115 cultures were found to contain high levels of protein (34 to 43%), in addition to carotenoids.KEY WORDS: Probiotic · Vibriosis · Antagonism · Vibrio · Aquaculture · Synechocystis · Cyanobacteria · ShrimpResale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher

“…Positive effects of bacteria on cultured microalgae have also been observed (29,75,101,128) (see above). It is conceivable that bacteria can indirectly influence the health or the zootechnical performance of the cultured aquatic animals through their effect on the microalgae used as food or in the greenwater technique.…”

“…However, since bacteria may also inhibit algal growth (75), careful screening may be necessary when bacteria are to be used as probiotics in larval rearing or in the green-water technique. Rico-Mora et al (101) selected a strain (SK-05) for its active growth in organic-poor substrates and inoculated it into a Skeletonema costatum culture. When all cultures had reached the late exponential phase, Vibrio alginolyticus was inoculated as a typical contaminant.…”

SUMMARY There is an urgent need in aquaculture to develop microbial control strategies, since disease outbreaks are recognized as important constraints to aquaculture production and trade and since the development of antibiotic resistance has become a matter of growing concern. One of the alternatives to antimicrobials in disease control could be the use of probiotic bacteria as microbial control agents. This review describes the state of the art of probiotic research in the culture of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and live food, with an evaluation of the results obtained so far. A new definition of probiotics, also applicable to aquatic environments, is proposed, and a detailed description is given of their possible modes of action, i.e., production of compounds that are inhibitory toward pathogens, competition with harmful microorganisms for nutrients and energy, competition with deleterious species for adhesion sites, enhancement of the immune response of the animal, improvement of water quality, and interaction with phytoplankton. A rationale is proposed for the multistep and multidisciplinary process required for the development of effective and safe probiotics for commercial application in aquaculture. Finally, directions for further research are discussed.
