Therefore, in this study, we isolated LAB from the gut tracts of healthy aquatic animals to extend these origins, including fish and shrimp, based on the results of tests on antagonism to putative pathogens and adhesion to the crude mucus of shrimp.
Moreover, we investigated the induction of immune- and digestionrelated genes in the midgut and hepatopancreas, and observed the growth performance of Litopenaeus vannamei when they were fed with selected strains and the corresponding supernatants.
