Effects of dietary supplementation of Bacillus subtilis and fructooligosaccharide on growth performance, survival, non-specific immune response and disease resistance of juvenile large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea
“…In this study, administration of synbiotic (C) did not show significant differences on survival rate of tilapia when compared to administration of micro-encapsulated probiotic (A) and prebiotic (B). This was in line with study by Ai et al (2011) who reported that the survival rate of yellow croakers (Larimichthys crocea) which were given a combination of B. subtilis and fructo oligosaccharide after infected with Vibrio harveyi, showed no significant differences when compared to the administration of B. subtilis.…”
Streptococcus agalactiae is one of the fish pathogen which can cause mortality up to 90% in commercial tilapia farms. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of supplementation of micro-encapsulated probiotic (Bacillus NP5), prebiotic (MOS) and combination of those materials (synbiotic) through the feed on growth performances and immune responses of tilapia infected with S. agalactiae. The probiotic cells were encapsulated by spray drying method. The experimental fish were reared for 40 days and fed with feed-supplemented with probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic and without any supplementation to the feed (positive and negative control). On day 40, all fish except negative control were challenged by S. agalactiae via intraperitoneal route injection in amount of 0.1 mL (10 6 CFU mLG 1 ). This study showed that administration of 0.4% prebiotic to the feed resulted the best growth performance in the end of feeding trial and survival rate after the challenge test with S. agalactiae.

“…Thus, indicating growth improving properties of the probiotic Calsporin. Similar results were also observed in studies on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) [19,23], tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [24] and large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) [9]. These studies show that the Bacillus sp.…”

“…B. subtilis can promote survival and growth [8], by stimulating the immune system [9] and by controlling pathogenic bacteria [10].…”
“…Diferentes respostas podem ser dependentes da dose, do tipo e da duração da sua administração (Ringo et al, 2010). Alguns estudos em aquicultura têm demonstrado a capacidade dos prebióticos e dos probióticos em aumentar as repostas imunes inata e adaptativa no tecido linfoide associado ao intestino, bem como a imunidade sistêmica, como atividade fagocítica, atividade da lisozima e expressão de algumas citocinas e anticorpos, e consequentemente a resistência a doenças e à sobrevivência (Ai et al, 2011;Safari et al, 2014).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
