“…Although numerous studies investigated (more than 3,000 papers in the last decade according to Scopus) the effect of probiotic on shrimp physiology and growth, the exact mechanism has less been discovered. However, multimechanism such as having anti‐bacterial inhibitory effects, competition for chemicals and adhesion sites with other bacteria, modulation of the immune system and modification of dietary nutrients to increase utilization is involved (Balcázar et al, ; Chauhan & Singh, ). In our study, B. cereus and P. acidilactici could improve weight gain and FCR which is in parallel with other works when they added probiotics to the water (Lakshmanan & Soundarapandian, ; Song et al, ; Wang et al, ; Zhou et al, ).…”

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of two probiotics, Bacillus cereus and Pediococcus acidilactici, on the water quality, growth performance, the survival ratio, economic benefits, immunohematology and bacterial flora in the intestine of whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei after 110 days. Nine earthen ponds (each one 1.2 hectare) were adjusted as three treatments including control (without adding bacteria), containing P. acidilactici probiotic (106 CFU/mL) and containing B. cereus probiotic (106 CFU/mL). The results showed that the adding B. cereus and P. acidilactici to the water pond positively decreased nitrate, ammonia and biochemical oxygen demand when compared with the control group (p < .05). Regarding growth performance, treating shrimp with B. cereus caused significantly higher weight gain (16.72 g) and survival ratio (94.50%) in comparison with control group (p < .05). Using these probiotics could increase shrimp production (27.30%, 18.42%) and net income (92.94%, 49.20%) as well. Respect to immunity, total hemocyte count (9.00), total protein (8.92 g/dl) and lysozyme activity (21.55 U/ml) in treated whiteleg shrimp with B. cereus were significantly higher than those untreated (p < .05). In conclusion, adding B. cereus (106 CFU/ml) to the earthen pond can be suggested in shrimp farm.

“…Recently, probiotics are used worldwide in eco-friendly and sustainable aquaculture practices, and their application are getting more and more attention due to their positive impact towards growth and/or health benefits of aquatic animals (Chauhan & Singh, 2018;Hai, 2015;Nayak, 2010). Bacillus strains possess growth-promoting potential, and evidence from previous studies have demonstrated that Bacillus bacteria served as probiotics and had a positive impact on the growth of aquatic animals, e.g., Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus; Liu, Wang, et al, 2017), red sea bream (Pagrus major; Zaineldin et al, 2018), sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicas; Yang, Tian, Dong, Peng, & Wang, 2015) and whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei; Sadat, Adorian, Ghafari, & Hoseinifar, 2018).…”

Dietary supplementation of Bacillus cereus as probiotics in Pengze crucian carp ( Carassius auratus var. Pengze): Effects on growth performance, fillet quality, serum biochemical parameters and intestinal histology

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of Bacillus cereus as probiotics on growth, fillet quality, serum biochemical parameters and intestinal histology of Pengze crucian carp (Carassius auratus var. Pengze). Fish were fed basic diet (Control group) and three diets such as CD7, CD9 and CD11 supplemented with B. cereus at dose of 107, 109 and 1011 CFU/kg for 70 days. The results showed that supplementation of 109 CFU/kg B. cereus significantly improved the growth performance compared to that in the Control group. The textures of muscle were improved by dietary supplementation of probiotics, and the hardness, gumminess, chewiness and the resilience of fish fillet increased with increasing dose of B. cereus. Total cholesterol including high‐density lipoprotein and low‐density lipoprotein level in serum decreased correspondingly with increasing level of probiotics whereas, acid phosphatase and catalase activities increased in serum. B. cereus supplementation enhanced the immunity and antioxidant capacity via an increase in acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, glutathione peroxidase, reduce glutathione, and catalase, accompanied by a significant reduction in malondialdehyde. Higher intestinal fold height was observed in CD9 group than other groups. The lowest enterocyte height was exhibited in the Control group, HE values increased with increasing dose of probiotics. Moreover, dietary inclusion of B. cereus significantly affected the digestive enzymes activities in terms of higher lipase and trypase activities. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of B. cereus could promote the growth, elevate the immunity and antioxidant status of carp, and importantly improve the texture of fish fillet.

“…Alteration of fish gut microflora via dietary administration of probiotics is useful not only from nutritional point of view but also as a bio-therapeutic method to prevent side effects of antibiotics and drugs (Chauhan & Singh, 2019;Irianto & Austin, 2002).
