Abstract
The healthy intestinal microbiota of shrimp can be used as an indicator sustainable shrimp production. In this study, the integrated of metagenomic and screening probiotic approach from healthy Litopenaeus vannamei intestines in differing stages was studied to find novel indigenous probiotics. The microbiota from intestine of naupli, post larva (PL-10), juvenile (40 days), and adult (80 days) of Pacific white shrimp were characterized using a high-quality sequence of V3-V4 of 16S rRNA gene as the hypervariable region. The classifiable sequence number was detected in 54 phyla. Several core intestine bacteria, 35 of these 557 genera, have a prevalence >10 sequences across all samples. We found microbiota were different taxa in the difference stages, such as Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteriodetes. The top 10 most abundant genera were Vibrio, Pseudoalteromonas, Spingomonas, Marinibacterium, Klebsiella, Alteromonas, Aestuaribacter, Shimia, Stenotrophomonas, and Ruegeria. Microbiota profiling based on a metagenomic approach was integrated with screening assessment for pathogenicity, antagonistic activity with Vibrio parahaemolyticus Vp5, antibiotic resistance, and digestive enzyme activities. As their assessment activity, several screened culturable bacteria were 19 of these 84 isolates. Three isolates with high activities (P < 0.05) found as novel indigenous probiotics were Shewanella algae A1, Shewanella algae A3, and Vibrio diabolicus UB3. Integrating metagenomic and screening methods was a new signature for the isolating novel indigenous probiotics in Pacific white shrimp.

Comparison of the gut microbiota and untargeted gut tissue metabolome of Chinese mitten crabs ( Eriocheir sinensis) with different shell colors. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1218152. [PMID: 37520354 PMCID: PMC10374289 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1218152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a highly valued freshwater crustacean in China. While the natural shell color of E. sinensis is greenish brown (GH), we found a variety with a brownish-orange shell color (RH). Although RH is more expensive, it exhibits a lower molting frequency and growth rate compared with GH, which significantly reduces its yield and hinders large-scale farming. The growth and development of animals are closely related to their gut microbiota and gut tissue metabolic profiles. Methods In this study, we compared the gut microbiome communities and metabolic profiles of juvenile RH and GH crabs using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), respectively. Results Our findings indicated that the intestinal microbial composition and metabolic characteristics of E. sinensis differed significantly between RH and GH. At the operational taxonomic unit (OTU) level, the α-diversity of the gut microbiota did not differ significantly between RH and GH, while the β-diversity of the RH gut microbiota was higher than that of the GH gut microbiota. At the species level, the richness of unclassified_c_Alphaproteobacteria was significantly higher in the GH group, while the RH group had a significantly higher richness of three low-abundance species, Flavobacteria bacterium BAL38, Paraburkholderia ferrariae, and uncultured_bacterium_g__Legionella. In the current study, 598 gut tissue metabolites were identified, and 159 metabolites were significantly different between GH and RH. The metabolite profile of RH was characteristic of a low level of most amino acids and lipid metabolites and a high level of several pigments compared with that of GH. These metabolites were enriched in 102 KEGG pathways. Four pathways, including (1) Central carbon metabolism in cancer, (2) protein digestion and absorption, (3) alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, and (4) aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, were significantly enriched. The correlation analysis between metabolites and microbiotas indicated that most key differential metabolites were positively correlated with the abundance of Shewanella_sp_MR-7. Discussion This research provided a greater understanding of the physiological conditions of E. sinensis varieties with different shell colors by comparing the gut microbiota and gut tissue metabolome.

Probiotics and Immunostimulant modulate intestinal flora diversity in Reeves pond tortoise (Mauremys reevesii) and effects of Clostridium butyricum on its spleen transcriptome. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023:108908. [PMID: 37380116 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of Clostridium butyricum (group A), Bacillus subtilis (group B), and the immune enhancer algal β-1,3 glucan (group C) on the intestinal flora of Mauremys reevesii and the effects of C. butyricum on the transcriptome of M. reevesii splenic immune tissues. M. reevesii were assigened to four groups, each containing three replicates from 18 samples. Juvenile turtles with an initial weight of 106.35 ± 0.03 g were fed a basic diet containing no probiotics (control group D), or a basic diet containing the A, B, or C supplement. After the turtles had been fed for 60, 90, and 120 d of the experimental period, high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed no significant difference in alpha diversity among the four groups at 60 days of feeding (P > 0.05), and at 90 days, the alpha diversity in group A was significantly different (P < 0.05), with an increase of 26.62% in the Shannon index and a decrease of 83.33% in the Simpson index; at 120 d, the alpha diversity (Shannon index)showed a decreasing trend in order for groups A, B, and C, At the phylum level, the abundance of Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteria in group A increased significantly with increasing feeding time (P < 0.05),At the genus level, the abundance of Ruminococcaceae and Anaerotruncus in group A increased significantly compared with that in the other three groups (P < 0.05). Transcriptome analysis showed that 384 genes were differentially expressed in the spleen of M. reevesii, 195 genes were upregulated and 189 genes were downregulated, and C. butyricum TF201120 regulated the hematopoietic cell lineage signaling pathway in the spleen of M. reevesii (P < 0.05). The regulation of several identified immune-related genes was confirmed by qPCR, These results showed that C. butyricum, B. subtilis and the immune enhancer algal β-1,3 glucan can improve the intestinal flora of M. reevesii, with C. butyricum TF20 being the most effective and significantly enhancing the immunity of M. reevesii.

Abstract
With an ever-growing human population, the need for sustainable production of nutritional food sources has never been greater. Aquaculture is a key industry engaged in active development to increase production in line with this need while remaining sustainable in terms of environmental impact and promoting good welfare and health in farmed species. Microbiomes fundamentally underpin animal health, being a key part of their digestive, metabolic and defense systems, in the latter case protecting against opportunistic pathogens in the environment. The potential to manipulate the microbiome to the advantage of enhancing health, welfare and production is an intriguing prospect that has gained considerable traction in recent years. In this review we first set out what is known about the role of the microbiome in aquaculture production systems across the phylogenetic spectrum of cultured animals, from invertebrates to finfish. With a view to reducing environmental footprint and tightening biological and physical control, investment in "closed" aquaculture systems is on the rise, but little is known about how the microbial systems of these closed systems affect the health of cultured organisms. Through comparisons of the microbiomes and their dynamics across phylogenetically distinct animals and different aquaculture systems, we focus on microbial communities in terms of their functionality in order to identify what features within these microbiomes need to be harnessed for optimizing healthy intensified production in support of a sustainable future for aquaculture.

Abstract
Gut microbiota is an essential determinant factor that drives the physiological, immunological, and metabolic functions of animals. A few meta-analysis studies identified crucial information about the gut microbiota of vertebrate animals in different habitats including fish while no report is yet available for the commercially cultured decapod crustaceans (DC). This meta-analysis investigated the gut microbiota of 11 commercially cultured DC species from five different groups-crab, crayfish, lobster, prawn, and shrimp to gain an overview of microbial diversity and composition and to find out core genera under two different host habitats: freshwater and saltwater. The analysis of 627 Illumina datasets from 25 published studies revealed selective patterns of diversity and compositional differences among groups and between freshwater and saltwater culture systems. The study found a salinity-dependent heterogeneous response of gut microbiota, specifically Vibrio in saltwater for white shrimp, a species that can be cultured with and without salt. Overall, the genera reared in freshwater showed higher diversity in the gut microbial communities than those reared in saltwater. An overwhelming abundance of Candidatus Bacilloplasma and Vibrio were identified for species cultured in freshwater and saltwater system, respectively and these two species were identified as the main core genera for nine out of 11 DC species, except freshwater prawn and river prawn. Together, these results demonstrate the effectiveness of the meta-analysis in identifying the robust and reproducible features of DC gut microbiota for different groups and host habitats. The diversity information curated here could be used as a reference for future studies to differentiate various DC species under two different rearing environments.

Abstract
To investigate the key gut microbiota and metabolites associated with the growth performance of Macrobrachium rosenbergii families, 16S rRNA sequencing and LC-MS metabolomic methods were used. In this study, 90 M. rosenbergii families were bred to evaluate growth performance. After 92 days of culture, high (H), medium (M), and low (L) experimental groups representing three levels of growth performance, respectively, were collected according to the weight gain and specific growth rate of families. The composition of gut microbiota showed that the relative abundance of Firmicutes, Lachnospiraceae, Lactobacillus, and Blautia were much higher in Group H than those in M and L groups. Meanwhile, compared to the M and L groups, Group H had significantly higher levels of spermidine, adenosine, and creatinine, and lower levels of L-citrulline. Correlation analysis showed that the abundances of Lactobacillus and Blautia were positively correlated with the levels of alpha-ketoglutaric acid and L-arginine. The abundance of Blautia was also positively correlated with the levels of adenosine, taurine, and spermidine. Notably, lots of metabolites related to the metabolism and biosynthesis of arginine, taurine, hypotaurine, and fatty acid were upregulated in Group H. This study contributes to figuring out the landscape of the gut microbiota and metabolites associated with prawn growth performance and provides a basis for selective breeding.

Abstract
The importance of the gut microbiome in the management of various physiological activities including healthy growth and performance of fish and shellfish is now widely considered and being studied in detail for potential applications in aquaculture farming and the future growth of the fish industry. The gut microbiome in all animals including fish is associated with a number of beneficial functions for the host, such as stimulating optimal gastrointestinal development, producing and supplying vitamins to the host, and improving the host's nutrient uptake by providing additional enzymatic activities. Besides nutrient uptake, the gut microbiome is involved in strengthening the immune system and maintaining mucosal tolerance, enhancing the host's resilience against infectious diseases, and the production of anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory compounds. Because of its significant role, the gut microbiome is very often considered an "extra organ," as it plays a key role in intestinal development and regulation of other physiological functions. Recent studies suggest that the gut microbiome is involved in energy homeostasis by regulating feeding, digestive and metabolic processes, as well as the immune response. Consequently, deciphering gut microbiome dynamics in cultured fish and shellfish species will play an indispensable role in promoting animal health and aquaculture productivity. It is mentioned that the microbiome community available in the gut tract, particularly in the intestine acts as an innovative source of natural product discovery. The microbial communities that are associated with several marine organisms are the source of natural products with a diverse array of biological activities and as of today, more than 1000 new compounds have been reported from such microbial species. Exploration of such new ingredients from microbial species would create more opportunities for the development of the bio-pharma/aquaculture industries. Considering the important role of the microbiome in the whole life span of fish and shellfish, it is necessary to understand the interaction process between the host and microbial community. However, information pertaining to host-microbiome interaction, particularly at the cellular level, gene expression, metabolic pathways, and immunomodulation mechanisms, the available literature is scanty. It has been reported that there are three ways of interaction involving the host-microbe-environment operates to maintain homeostasis in the fish and shellfish gut i.e. host intrinsic factors, the environment that shapes the gut microbiome composition, and the core microbial community present in the gut system itself has equal influence on the host biology. In the present review, efforts have been made to collect comprehensive information on various aspects of host-microbiome interaction, particularly on the immune system and health maintenance, management of diseases, nutrient uptake, digestion and absorption, gene expression, and metabolism in fish and shellfish.

Abstract
Due to the wide application of plastic products in human life, microplastic pollution in water has recently attracted more attention. Many studies have revealed the size-dependent toxicity of microplastics. Here, we investigated the toxicological effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) on the white leg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, a profitable aquaculture species, using a comprehensive histomorphological, microbiome, and metabolomic approach to verify whether smaller particles are more toxic than larger particles. L. vannamei were experimentally exposed to water containing PS-MPs of four sizes (0.1, 1.0, 5.0, and 20.0 μm) for 24 h at 10 mg/L (acute experiment) and 12 d at 1 mg/L (subchronic experiment). After 24 h of acute exposure, PS-MP accumulation in shrimp indicated that the ingestion and egestion of PS-MPs had a size-dependent effect, and smaller particles were more bioavailable. The tissue morphological results of subchronic experiments showed that, for the guts and gills, the smaller sizes of the PS-MPs exhibited greater damage. In addition, 16 S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing showed that the alpha diversity was higher under larger PS-MP exposure. Correlated with changes in intestinal bacteria, we found a greater enrichment of metabolic pathways in hemolymph proteins and metabolites in larger PS-MP groups, such as "arginine and proline metabolism", "protein digestion and absorption", "lysine degradation". Interestingly, the activity or content of biomarkers of oxidative stress showed a peak at 1 μm and 5 μm. Under specific sizes of PS-MPs, the abundance of the pathogen Vibrio and probiotic bacteria Rhodobacter (5-μm) and Bacillus and Halomonas (1-μm) were simultaneously enriched. Our results indicated that PS-MP exposure can cause size-dependent damage to shrimp, yet specific particle size can be influential differently in regard to some research indicators. Therefore, it can enhance our comprehensive understanding of the impacts of microplastics on shrimp health and suggests that specific particle size should be considered when assessing the size-dependent toxicity of microplastics.

Integrative analysis of GWAS and transcriptome reveals p53 signaling pathway mediates resistance to visceral white-nodules disease in large yellow croaker. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2022; 130:350-358. [PMID: 36150409 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2022.09.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Visceral white-nodules disease (VWND), caused by Pseudomonas plecoglossicida, is one of the primary causes of morbidity and mortality in large yellow croaker aquaculture. Host disease resistance is a heritable trait that involves complex regulatory processes. However, the regulatory mechanism of bacterial resistance in large yellow croaker is still unclear. This study attempted to systematically evaluate the major genetic loci and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms associated with the resistance to VWND in large yellow croaker by crossover method studies. A large population of large yellow croaker was challenged with P. plecoglossicida, with survival time recorded and samples were taken for genotyping. Meanwhile, spleen samples that were used for RNA-seq to compare their transcriptomic profiles before and after infection were taken from resistant populations (RS) and susceptible control populations (CS) bred using the genomic selection (GS) technique. Genome-wide association analyses using 46 K imputed SNP genotypes highlighted that resistance is a polygenic trait. The integrative analysis results show the co-localization of the cd82a gene between disease resistance-related genetic loci and comparative transcriptional analysis. And functional enrichment analysis showed differential enrichment of the p53 signaling pathway in RS and CS groups, suggesting that there may be cd82a-mediated p53 signaling pathway activation for VWND resistance. This large-scale study provides further evidence for the heritability and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of host inheritance of VWND resistance.

Cross-Talk Between Intestinal Microbiota and Host Gene Expression in Gilthead Sea Bream ( Sparus aurata) Juveniles: Insights in Fish Feeds for Increased Circularity and Resource Utilization. Front Physiol 2021; 12:748265. [PMID: 34675821 PMCID: PMC8523787 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.748265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
New types of fish feed based on processed animal proteins (PAPs), insect meal, yeast, and microbial biomasses have been used with success in gilthead sea bream. However, some drawback effects on feed conversion and inflammatory systemic markers were reported in different degrees with PAP- and non-PAP-based feed formulations. Here, we focused on the effects of control and two experimental diets on gut mucosal-adherent microbiota, and how it correlated with host transcriptomics at the local (intestine) and systemic (liver and head kidney) levels. The use of tissue-specific PCR-arrays of 93 genes in total rendered 13, 12, and 9 differentially expressed (DE) genes in the intestine, liver, and head kidney, respectively. Illumina sequencing of gut microbiota yielded a mean of 125,350 reads per sample, assigned to 1,281 operational taxonomic unit (OTUs). Bacterial richness and alpha diversity were lower in fish fed with the PAP diet, and discriminant analysis displayed 135 OTUs driving the separation between groups with 43 taxa correlating with 27 DE genes. The highest expression of intestinal pcna and alpi was achieved in PAP fish with intermediate values in non-PAP, being the pro-inflammatory action of alpi associated with the presence of Psychrobacter piscatorii. The intestinal muc13 gene was down-regulated in non-PAP fish, with this gene being negatively correlated with anaerobic (Chloroflexi and Anoxybacillus) and metal-reducing (Pelosinus and Psychrosinus) bacteria. Other inflammatory markers (igm, il8, tnfα) were up-regulated in PAP fish, positively correlating the intestinal igm gene with the inflammasome activator Escherichia/Shigella, whereas the systemic expression of il8 and tnfα was negatively correlated with the Bacilli class in PAP fish and positively correlated with Paracoccus yeei in non-PAP fish. Overall changes in the expression pattern of il10, galectins (lgals1, lgals8), and toll-like receptors (tlr2, tlr5, tlr9) reinforced the anti-inflammatory profile of fish fed with the non-PAP diet, with these gene markers being associated with a wide range of OTUs. A gut microbiota-liver axis was also established, linking the microbial generation of short chain fatty acids with the fueling of scd1- and elovl6-mediated lipogenesis. In summary, by correlating the microbiome with host gene expression, we offer new insights in the evaluation of fish diets promoting gut and metabolism homeostasis, and ultimately, the health of farmed fish.

COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY D-GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2021; 40:100874. [PMID: 34243027 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2021.100874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Growth traits are a vital standard for the animal culture industry. The molecular mechanism of growth traits remains poorly understood, especially in aquaculture, which hinders the development of the selective breeding industry. Genomic resources discovered by next-generation sequencing (NGS) have been widely applied in certain species. However, accurate assembly and downstream analysis by NGS are still major challenges for species without reference genomes. In this study, a comparative transcriptome analysis of an economic crustacean species (Marsupenaeus japonicus) between a fast growth group and slow growth group at different stages was performed by SMRT (single molecule real time) and NGS. A high-quality full-length transcriptome (e.g., mean length of unigenes was longer than those unigenes assembled by Illumina clean reads from previous reports, and annotation rate was higher than Illumina sequencing in the same studies) was generated and analyzed. Several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to growth were identified and validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The results showed that compared with the late stage, more DEGs were identified at the early stage, indicating that the growth-related physiological activity differences between different individuals at the early stage were higher than at the late stage. Moreover, 215 DEGs were shared between the early stage and late stage, and 109 had divergent functions during development. These 109 genes may play an important role in regulating the specific growth rate (SGR) of kuruma shrimp. In addition, twelve growth-related pathways were shared between the two comparative groups. Among these pathways, the fly Hippo signaling pathway and its key gene Mj14-3-3-like were identified for the first time to be involved in growth traits in crustaceans. Further analysis showed that Mj14-3-3-like was significantly downregulated in the fast growth group at the early stage and late stage; its expression level was reduced to its lowest level at the intermolt stage (C), the most important growth stage in shrimp, suggesting that Mj14-3-3-like may inhibit the growth of kuruma shrimp. Our study helps to elucidate the genes involved in the molecular mechanisms governing growth traits in kuruma shrimp, which is valuable for future shrimp developmental research.

Abstract
Effective aquaculture management strategies are paramount to global food security. Growing demands stimulate the intensification of production and create the need for practices that are both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Importantly, pathogenic microbes continue to be detrimental to fish growth and survival. In terms of host health, the intestinal mucosa and its associated consortium of microbes have a critical role in modulating fitness and present an attractive opportunity to promote health at this interface. In light of this, the administration of probiotic microorganisms is being considered as a means to restore and sustain health in fish. Current evidence suggests that certain probiotic strains might be able to augment immunity, enhance growth rate, and protect against infection in salmonids, the most economically important family of farmed finfish. This review affirms the relevance of host-microbe interactions in salmonids in light of emerging evidence, with an emphasis on intestinal health. In addition, the current understanding of the mode of action of probiotics in salmonid fish is discussed, along with delivery systems that can effectively carry the living microbes.
