Summary: This study revealed that shrimp gut microbiota responded differently to pathogenic and non-pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains, with pathogenic Vibrio-infected shrimp showing enrichment of Photobacterium and Vibrio genera, while non-pathogenic Vibrio-infected shrimp had Candidatus Bacilliplasma enriched. Functional predictions suggested that changes in taxonomic compositions would affect normal metabolic functions, highlighting the importance of maintaining gut microbiota equilibrium. Several biomarkers associated with specific microbial taxa and functional pathways were identified, aiding in predicting disease outcomes.

Summary: This study reveals the different responses of shrimp gut microbiota to pathogenic and non-pathogenic Vp strains, with bacterial genera Photobacterium and Vibrio enriched in pathogenic Vp-infected shrimp, and Candidatus Bacilliplasma enriched in non-pathogenic Vp-infected shrimp. Moreover, changes in taxonomic compositions further affect normal metabolic functions, emphasizing the importance of sustaining an equilibrium in the gut microbiota. Several biomarkers associated with specific microbial taxa and functional pathways were identified, which help predict the incidence of disease outcomes.

Summary: Phospholipids have a positive impact on the growth, antioxidant activity, immunity, and gut microbiota of female broodstock of Pacific white shrimp. Krill oil, as a dietary phospholipid source, is the most beneficial for improving antioxidant capacity and innate immunity. Moreover, krill oil can enhance the intestinal immune barrier and promote the growth of female shrimp by increasing the richness of Fusibacter.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of four functional diets and a reference diet on the survival and intestinal bacterial community of shrimps infected with AHPND. The results showed that diets containing TuMa and VitC significantly increased shrimp survival rate. TuMa diet reduced Vibrionales, while VitC diet increased Alteromonadales. The findings suggest that functional diets can protect against AHPND by promoting a desirable bacterial community in the intestine.

Summary: Pathogen infections in shrimps trigger the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as part of the immune response, leading to oxidative damage in host cells. Curcumin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles show potential in enhancing immune system and growth parameters, and reducing oxidative damage in shrimp. Regular inclusion of these nanoparticles in the diet could help mitigate oxidative stress caused by environmental or pathogen-related factors.

Summary: This study isolated two bacterial strains, Man26 and Man122, from shrimp intestines and found that they have the ability to produce mannanase, an enzyme that digests MOS and other mannan-rich materials. These strains can tolerate a wide pH range and their crude enzymes significantly increased the release of sugars and proteins from copra meal, palm kernel cake, and soybean meal. These findings suggest that these bacterial strains could potentially be used in animal feeds to improve the utilization of feedstuffs.

Summary: The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the nutrition, development, and disease resistance of animals. The interactions between the microbiome and the immune system are complex and dynamic, with each influencing the other's composition and activity. In shrimp and other aquatic animals, these interactions occur during the early developmental stages and significantly impact the immune responses and overall health of the shrimp. Understanding this interaction has the potential to improve shrimp survival and enhance the microbiome through feed supplements or other strategies.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of oleic acid supplements on the liver metabolome of hybrid grouper fingerlings challenged with Vibrio vulnificus. The results showed that oleic acid, used as a fish feed supplement, enhanced the immune response of the fish. Metabolomics analysis revealed significant differences in metabolites between the control and oleic acid diets, with several metabolites highly abundant in the liver sample of groupers fed with dietary oleic acid. These changes in metabolites contributed to improving the immune system of the fish and advancing our understanding of their immune response.
