A Study on the Therapeutic Ability of Gut Microbiota upon V. parahaemolyticus Infected Farm Prawn

Abstract

Glycogen content of the prawn muscles from the three groups showed increasing trend after 30 days of feed supplementation. In control animals recorded maximum of 2.2 mg/g, and inB. coagulanssupplemented animals it was 4.1 mg/g and 3.6 mg/g inB. firmussupplemented animals increase in glycogen content in relation with feed supplementation with probiotic bacteria was most prominent in prawns. The increase in alpha amylases content may be attributed to the influence of the probiotic strain which possess exoenzyme activity. Maximum colonies were found inB. firmussupplemented animals gut, 962 cfu after 30 days of feed supplementation. Similar trend wasobserved in intestinal microflora of all three groups after infection in the feed supplemented animals. The one way analysis of variance showed significant variation among feed supplementation and treatment. The one way analysis revealed thatB. coagulanssupplemented group recorded maximum glycogen followed byB. firmusand control groups. Maximum THB count was observed inB. firmussupplemented animals after infecting the animals withV.parahaemolyticus. Alpha amylase activity was maximum inB. firmussupplemented animals was recorded. Significant results could be observed in one way analysis of variance.
