The main strategy in the use of probiotics is to isolate intestinal bacteria with favourable properties from mature animals and incorporate these bacteria into the feeding of young and growing animals. This is due to the fact that these bacteria often produce bacteriocins and other chemical compounds that could inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, this project aims to screen and identify potential LAB from C. gariepinus, an African catfish in order to exploit them for further uses in aquaculture feeding.
