“…Therefore, SOD, CAT, and GPx activities are used to assess the resistance of aquatic animals to oxidative damage and indirectly project their immune levels (Zhao et al. ). In aquatic organisms, HSPs are essential in immune response to abiotic conditions and they are expressed in tissues as a response to oxidative damage (Zhou et al.…”

This study evaluated the influences of age on the pearl production performance and innate immune responses of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii. Two age‐groups (group A: 1.5 years of age; group B: 2.5 years of age) were subjected to a nucleus insertion operation. The immune‐ and antioxidant‐related enzymatic activities and expression levels of immune‐related genes in both groups were evaluated 3 d after the nucleus insertion operation. The survival rate, retention rate, and biomineralization capacity of the groups were examined when the pearls were harvested. The results showed that the activities of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and the expressions of the SOD, GPx, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and HSP90 genes were significantly higher in group A than in group B 3 d after the nucleus insertion operation (P < 0.05). Group A had a significantly higher survival rate than group B at 3, 7, and 30 d after the operation and at harvest. Group A had a significantly higher retention rate and pearl thickness than group B at harvest. The expression levels of the biomineralization genes for nacrein and pearlin were significantly higher in group A than in group B (P < 0.05), whereas expression of the biomineralization gene for Pif‐177 was significantly higher in group B. Collectively, these results suggested that 1.5‐year‐old pearl oysters have better pearl production performance and innate immune response to nucleus insertion operations, so selecting young pearl oysters to use as host and donor oysters shows promise as a process for improving the quality of cultured pearls.

“…and Bacillus spp. has been proved to improve the phagocytosis and/or respiratory burst of coelomocytes (Li et al, ; Liu et al, ; Wang et al, ; Yang et al, ; Zhao et al, ), and lysozyme activity and/or phenoloxidase activity of coelomic fluid in sea cucumbers (Li et al, ; Liu et al, ; Wang et al, ; Yan et al, ; Yang et al, ; Zhang et al, ). Recent studies have showed that different expression patterns of immune related genes in coelomocytes, intestine, and body wall of sea cucumber were induced by different species of probiotics (Li et al, ; Yang et al, ), suggesting the different immune regulatory mechanism of different probiotics.…”

“…In addition, the presence of residual drugs in seafood and environment increases the risk to human health (Defoirdt, Sorgeloos, & Bossier, ). Therefore, probiotics as an eco‐friendly alternative of antibiotics have been used to strengthen the defense mechanism of farmed sea cucumber (Li, Xu, Jin, & Li, ; Liu et al, ; Liu, Zhang, Zhang, & Li, ; Ma et al, ; Wang, Zhao, Liu, Wang, & Xiao, ; Yan, Tian, Dong, Fang, & Yang, ; Yang, Sun, & Xu, ; Zhao et al, ).…”

“…Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host (FAO/WHO, 2001). Genera Rhodotorula and Bacillus have been applied as probiotics to improve sea cucumber growth (Li et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2015a;Yang, Tian, Dong, Peng, & Wang, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2012), digestive enzyme activity Wang et al, 2015;Yang, Xu, Zhou, Zhang, & Sun, 2015b), and modulate the immune response (Li et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2015b;Zhang et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2012Zhao et al, , 2016. Recently, a study has focused on the bacterial community in the intestinal content of sea cucumbers following the probiotic bacteria administration (Yang, Peng, Tian, & Dong, 2017).…”

A 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of combined oral administration of the yeast Rhodotorula sp. H26 and bacterium Bacillus sp. BC26 on growth, digestive enzyme activity, body composition, immunity, and intestinal microbiota in the juvenile sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus. Sea cucumbers were divided into four groups and received one of the following diets: BD) basal diet; H) H26; B) BC26; HB) H26 + BC26. After feeding for 4 and/or 8 weeks, sea cucumbers fed the HB diet showed a significant increase in specific growth rate, pepsin, trypsin, amylase, and lipase activities, and body wall crude protein, carbohydrate, arachidonic and adrenic acids contents compared with the BD and/or single probiont (H26 and/or BC26) groups. Feeding the mixture significantly improved phagocytic activity and respiratory burst of the coelomocytes, and lysozyme activity and phenoloxidase activity of the coelomic fluid supernatant and coelomocyte lysate supernatant compared with the BD and and/or single probiont (H26 and/or BC26) groups. Gel electrophoresis revealed that the mixture of H26 and BC26 did not significantly affect the composition of intestinal microbiota. These data suggest that a mixture of H26 and BC26 supplementation can improve the growth, enhance digestive enzyme activity, add nutritional value, and stimulate the innate immune system of sea cucumber juveniles.

Bacillus cereus group produces diverse antimicrobial compounds through different metabolic pathways, including amino acid‐based compounds, sugar derivatives, volatile and miscellaneous compounds. These antimicrobial compounds exhibit antibacterial and antifungal activities against various plant pathogens, promoting plant growth and enhancing tolerance to abiotic stresses. They also exhibit nematicidal activities against plant nematodes and antagonistic effects against pathogens in aquatic animals, promoting growth and inducing immune responses. Moreover, B. cereus group bacteria play a significant role in bioremediation by breaking down or neutralizing environmental pollutants, such as plastics, petroleum products, heavy metals, and insecticides. They produce enzymes like laccases, lipases, proteases, and various oxidases, contributing to the degradation of these pollutants. In the food industry, they can cause food poisoning due to their production of enterotoxins. However, they are also utilized in various industrial applications, such as producing environmentally friendly bio‐based materials, biofertilizers, and nanoparticles. Notably, B. cereus transforms selenite into selenium nanoparticles, which have health benefits, including cancer prevention. In summary, B. cereus group bacteria have diverse applications in agriculture, bioremediation, industry, and medicine, contributing to sustainable and eco‐friendly solutions across multiple fields. In this review, we have revised B. cereus group and the characteristics of every species; we have also highlighted the more important compounds secreted by the species of B. cereus group and the applications of these compounds. The aim is to explain the available secondary metabolites to classify the species from this group, increasing the knowledge about taxonomy of this group.
