“…Probiotics administered directly in the diet modify the bacterial microbiota of marine shrimp digestive tract (Ziaei-Nejad et al, 2006), and stimulate the host immune response against harmful pathogens (Rengpipat et al, 2000). Nevertheless, the period in which bacterial microbiota of shrimp digestive tract remains modified, and the interval in which the immune system is stimulated after probiotic administration is still unknown.…”

-The objective of this work was to assess the time-related action of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum in the bacterial microbiota of the digestive tract of Litopenaeus vannamei, and the relation of total haemocyte count and serum phenol oxidase activity of shrimp challenged with Vibrio harveyi. Shrimps were fed with a probiotic-supplemented diet, for eight days, then shifted to a commercial diet. Shrimps fed only with the commercial diet served as control. Evaluations were made on the 8 th day of experiment and repeated two, four, six and eight days later. Total lactic bacteria in the digestive tract was higher until the 4 th day of evaluation in the probioticsupplemented group. Vibrio spp. counts were higher in the control at days zero and two. Until the 4 th day of evaluation, the total haemocyte counts in shrimps after challenge with V. harveyi were higher in probioticsupplemented group than in control group. Significant difference was not observed in phenol oxidase activity. On the 6 th day after shifting from supplemented to control diet, all parameters were equal in both groups, suggesting that the time-related action of L. plantarum in shrimp is short.Index terms: Litopenaeus vannamei, Vibrio harveyi, total haemocyte count, lactic bacteria, phenol oxidase, probiotic. Tempo de atuação de Lactobacillus plantarum na microbiota bacteriana intestinal de camarão e sua ação como imunoestimulanteResumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o tempo de atuação de Lactobacillus plantarum, na microbiota bacteriana intestinal de Litopenaeus vannamei, e sua relação com a contagem total de hemócitos e a atividade da fenoloxidase após a exposição a Vibrio harveyi. Os camarões foram alimentados com dieta suplementada com probióticos por oito dias e, depois, substituída por dieta comercial. Os camarões alimentados com dieta comercial constituíram o controle. As avaliações foram realizadas no oitavo dia de experimento e repetidas dois, quatro, seis e oito dias depois. A contagem total de bactérias lácticas no intestino foi maior até o quarto dia de avaliação, no grupo alimentado com probióticos. A contagem de Vibrio spp. foi superior no grupo controle nos dias zero e dois. Até o quarto dia, a contagem total de hemócitos dos camarões após a inoculação de V. harveyi foi superior no grupo alimentado com probiótico em relação ao grupo controle. Não foi observada diferença na atividade da fenoloxidase. No sexto dia, após a substituição da dieta suplementada com probióticos por dieta controle, todos os parâmetros avaliados foram iguais nos dois grupos, o que indica que o tempo de atuação de L. plantarum em camarões é curto.Termos para indexação: Litopenaeus vannamei, Vibrio harveyi, contagem total de hemócitos, bactérias lácticas, fenoloxidase, probiótico.

“…Nevertheless, several studies have demonstrated that such bacterial microbiota can be modified by the addition of Gram-positive bacteria in the diet (Ziaei-Nejad et al, 2006;Vieira et al, 2008) or in the culture water (Rengpipat et al 1998;. Accordingly, in the present study, shrimp fed L. plantarum supplemented diet showed less viable total and vibrio bacteria, and high amounts of lactic bacteria.…”

The effect of a Lactobacillus plantarum-supplemented diet on shrimp growth, digestive tract bacterial microbiota, survival, and some hemato-immunological parameters after an experimental challenge with Vibrio harveyi was studied. No difference (P>0.05) was observed in shrimp survival (80±6%) and final weight (6.63±0.56g) after 60 days feeding trial. Total bacteria count and Vibrio spp. count in the digestive tract were not diferent (P>0.05) until day 40, but they were lower (P<0.05) in the probiotic-supplemented group on day 60. Total lactic bacteria in the shrimp digestive tract was higher after day 20 in the probiotic-supplemented group. Ten hours after V. harveyi challenge, survival of the probiotic-supplemented group (65.7±2.9%) was higher (P>0.05) than the control group (39.9±4.4%). Bacterial counts in hemolymph and hepatopancreas was lower (P<0.05) in the probiotic-supplemented group than in the control group after V. harveyi challenge. Total hemocyte count and serum agglutination activity were higher (P>0.05) in the probiotic-supplemented group after challenge with V. harveyi. Probiotic-supplemented diet modifies shrimp digestive tract bacterial microbiota, increasing resistance to V. harveyi infection.

“…As one of the main components of gut microbiota, probiotics have been described as live microorganisms that improve disease resistance (Zhou et al 2012) and the microbial balance of the host's intestinal fauna (Vine et al 2006, Ziaei-Nejad et al 2006, Twetman & Stecksen-Blicks 2008, and also as biologically active components, or single or mixed cultures of microorganisms, capable of improving the health of the host (Ochoa-Solano & Olmos-Soto 2006, Saha et al 2012). These descriptions imply the use of microorganisms or their by-products as biological controls of or modifiers to the bacterial composition of host intestines, including the aquatic animals.…”

To increase the knowledge of probiotic effects on zebrafish (Danio rerio), we compare the effects of two probiotic strains, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CICC 6141 (a highly adhesive strain) and Lactobacillus casei BL23 (a weakly adhesive strain), on zebrafish reproduction and their offsprings' innate level of immunity to water-borne pathogens. During probiotics treatments from 7 to 28 days, both the Lactobacillus strains, and especially L. casei BL23, significantly increased fecundity in zebrafish: higher rates of egg ovulation, fertilization, and hatching were observed. Increased densities of both small and large vitellogenic follicles, seen in specimens fed either Lactobacillus strain, demonstrated accelerated oocyte maturation. Feeding either strain of Lactobacillus upregulated gene expression of leptin, kiss2, gnrh3, fsh, lh, lhcgr, and paqr8, which were regarded to enhance fecundity and encourage oocyte maturation. Concomitantly, the gene expression of bmp15 and tgfb1 was inhibited, which code for local factors that prevent oocyte maturation. The beneficial effects of the Lactobacillus strains on fecundity diminished after feeding of the probiotics was discontinued, even for the highly adhesive gut Lactobacillus strain. Administering L. rhamnosus CICC 6141 for 28 days was found to affect the innate immunity of offspring derived from their parents, as evinced by a lower level of alkaline phosphatase activity in early larval stages. This study highlights the effects of probiotics both upon the reproductive process and upon the offsprings' immunity during early developmental stages.
