Abstract
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are beneficial microorganisms widely utilized in food fermentation processes and as probiotic supplements. They offer multifarious health benefits, including enhancing digestion, strengthening immune mechanisms, and mitigating inflammation. Recent studies suggest that LAB might be instrumental in the anti-aging domain, modulating key molecular pathways involved in the aging continuum, such as IL-13, TNF-α, mTOR, IFN-γ, TGF-β, AMPK, and GABA. The TLR family, particularly TLR2, appears pivotal during the primary cellular interactions with bacteria and their byproducts. Concurrently, the Sirtuin family, predominantly Sirtuin-1, plays diverse roles upon cellular stimuli by bacterial components. The potential anti-aging benefits postulated include restoring gut balance, enhancing antioxidant potential, and fortifying cognitive and mental faculties. However, the current body of evidence is still embryonic and calls for expansive human trials and deeper mechanistic analyses. The safety and optimal consumption metrics for LAB also warrant rigorous evaluation. Future research trajectories should identify specific LAB strains with potent anti-aging properties and unravel the underlying biological pathways. Given the promising implications, LAB strains stand as potential dietary contenders to foster healthy aging and enrich the quality of life among the elderly population.

Abstract
The implementation of government regulations on antibiotic use, along with the public's concern for drug resistance, has strengthened interest in developing alternatives not only aimed at preserving animal production but also at reducing the effects of pathogenic infections. Probiotics, in particular, are considered microorganisms that induce health benefits in the host after consumption of adequate amounts; they have been established as a potential strategy for improving growth, especially by stimulating intestinal homeostasis. Probiotics are commonly associated with lactic acid bacteria, and Limosilactobacillus fermentum is a well-studied species recognized for its favorable characteristics, including adhesion to epithelial cells, production of antimicrobial compounds, and activation of receptors that prompt the transcription of immune-associated genes. Recently, this species has been used in animal production. Different studies have shown that the application of L. fermentum strains not only improves the intestinal ecosystem but also reduces the effects caused by potentially pathogenic microorganisms. These studies have also revealed key insights into the mechanisms behind the actions exerted by this probiotic. In this manuscript, we aim to provide a concise overview of the effects of L. fermentum administration on broiler chicken health and performance.

Tseng KC, Huang HT, Huang SN, Yang FY, Li WH, Nan FH, Lin YJ. Lactobacillus plantarum isolated from kefir enhances immune responses and survival of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) challenged with Vibrio alginolyticus. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 135:108661. [PMID: 36906049 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum is known for its probiotics benefit to host, although the effects vary among strains. This study conducted a feeding experiment of three Lactobacillus strains, MRS8, MRS18 and MRS20, which were isolated from kefir and incorporated into the diets of shrimp to evaluate the effects of non-specific immunity, immune-related gene expression, and disease resistance of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) against Vibrio alginolyticus. To prepare the experimental feed groups, the basic feed was mixed with different concentrations of L. plantarum strains MRS8, MRS18, and MRS 20, which were incorporated at 0 CFU (control), 1 × 106 CFU (groups 8-6, 18-6, and 20-6), and 1 × 109 CFU (groups 8-9, 18-9, and 20-9) per gram of diet for an in vivo assay. During the rearing period for 28 days of feeding each group, immune responses, namely the total hemocyte count (THC), phagocytic rate (PR), phenoloxidase activity, and respiratory burst were examined on days 0, 1, 4, 7, 14, and 28. The results showed that groups 20-6, 18-9 and 20-9 improved THC, and groups 18-9 and 20-9 improved phenoloxidase activity and respiratory burst as well. The expression of immunity-related genes was also examined. Group 8-9 increased the expression of LGBP, penaeidin 2 (PEN2) and CP, group 18-9 increased the expression of proPO1, ALF, Lysozyme, penaeidin 3 (PEN3) and SOD, and group 20-9 increased the expression of LGBP, ALF, crustin, PEN2, PEN3, penaeidin 4 (PEN4) and CP (p < 0.05). Groups 18-6, 18-9, 2-6, and 20-9 were further used in the challenge test. After feeding for 7 days and 14 days, Vibrio alginolyticus was injected into white shrimp and observed the shrimp survival for 168 h. The results showed that compared to the control, all groups improved the survival rate. Especially, feeding group 18-9 for 14 days improved the survival rate of white shrimp (p < 0.05). After the challenge test for 14 days, the midgut DNA of survival white shrimps was extracted to analyze the colonization of L. plantarum. Among the groups, (6.61 ± 3.58) × 105 CFU/pre shrimp of L. plantarum in feeding group 18-9 and (5.86 ± 2.27) × 105 CFU/pre shrimp in group 20-9 were evaluated by qPCR. Taken together, group 18-9 had the best effects on the non-specific immunity, the immune-related gene expression, and the disease resistance, which might be due to the benefit of the probiotic colonization.

Abstract
Intensified agrochemical-based monoculture systems worldwide are under adoption to meet the challenge of human population growth and the ever-growing global demand for food. However, this path has been opposed and criticized because it involves overexploitation of land, monoculture of few species, excessive input of agrochemicals, and adverse impacts on human health and the environment. The wide diversity among polyculture systems practiced across the globe has created confusion over the priority of a single strategy towards sustainable aquaculture development and safer products. Herein, we highlight the significance of polyculture and integrated aquaculture practices in conveying the successful transition of the aquaculture industry towards sustainable development. So far, the established thought is that the precise selection of aquatic species and a focus on compatible and complementary species combinations are supposed to facilitate rapid progress in food production with more profitability and sustainability. Therefore, the advantages of species diversification are discussed from an ecological perspective to enforce aquaculture expansion. This account asserts that a diverse range of aquaculture practices can promote synergies among farmed species, enhance system resilience, enable conservation, decrease ecological footprints, and provide social benefits such as diversified income and local food security.

Evaluation of probiotic characteristics and whole genome analysis of Pediococcus pentosaceus MR001 for use as probiotic bacteria in shrimp aquaculture. Sci Rep 2021; 11:18334.

Abstract
The development of non-antibiotic and environmentally friendly agents is a key consideration for health management in shrimp aquaculture. In this study, the probiotic potential in shrimp aquaculture of Pediococcus pentosaceus MR001, isolated from Macrobrachium rosenbergii, was investigated by means of feeding trial and genetic characterization. In the feeding trial, dietary supplementation with P. pentosaceus MR001 significantly increased weight gain and digestive enzyme activity (p < 0.05) in shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. The intestinal histology showed that shrimp given the probiotic diet had healthier guts than the control group. Also, the immune gene expression and the survival rate in the treatment group were significantly increased when compared with the control group. The genetic characteristics of P. pentosaceus strain MR001 were explored by performing whole-genome sequencing (WGS) using the HiSeq 2500 platform and PacBio system, revealing the complete circular genome of 1,804,896 bp. We also identified 1789 coding genes and subsequently characterized genes related to the biosynthesis of bacteriocins, stress resistance, and bile tolerance. Our findings suggest that insights in the functional and genetic characteristics of P. pentosaceus strain MR001 could provide opportunities for applications of such strain in shrimp diet supplementation.
