Significant improvement of intestinal microbiota of gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio ) after traditional Chinese medicine feeding

Abstract

This study may provide useful information for further application of TCM for diseases prevention and stress management in aquaculture.

Effects of a highly purified fucoidan fromUndaria pinnatifidaon growth performance and intestine health status of gibel carpCarassius auratus gibelio

“…indicated that the core intestinal microbiota of gibel carp was Proteobacteria and Firmicutes (Wu, Tian, et al, ; Wu, Ding, et al, ). Recent studies from several groups showed that Fusobacteria , Proteobacteria , Bacteroidetes , Cyanobacteria and Firmicutes were the dominant phyla in the gut of gibel carp (Li et al, ; She et al, ; Wu et al, ). In line with these studies, the most abundant phyla of gibel carp detected in the present study were Fusobacteria , Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria in both control and fucoidan‐treated groups.…”

“…At the genus level, the most dominant genus was Cetobacterium that is significantly increased in response to 30 g/kg fucoidan treatment . Cetobacterium belongs to phylum Fusobacteria and has been previously detected to be the dominant genus in the intestine of many fresh water fish flora including gibel carp (Li et al, ; Wu et al, ; Xia et al, ). Earlier studies reported that Cetobacterium is involved in fermentation of peptides and carbohydrates and synthesis of vitamin B 12 (Sugita, Miyajima, & Deguchi, ; Tsuchiya, Sakata, & Sugita, ).…”

“…This might also explain the increased activity of digestive enzymes after fucoidan supplementation. However, other studies also reported that Aeromonas is the common opportunistic pathogens for both cold‐ and warm‐blood animals and may cause bacterial disease outbreak in fish including gibel carp when expose to stressors (Janda & Abbott, ; She et al, ; Wu, Tian, et al, ; Wu et al, ). Further study would be required to investigate the beneficial or detrimental influence of increased abundance of Aeromonas resulted from fucoidan treatment in gibel carp.…”
