RESUMEN
Globally, Penaeus vannamei is the vital species in aquaculture production. Beneficial bacterial exploration of gut, sediment, and water were investigated in P. vannamei culture using Illumina Miseq sequencing of 16S RNA V3-V4 hypervariable regions. Predominant phyla identified were Proteobacteria, Tenericutes, Bacteroidetes in gut; Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes in sediment and Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Planctomycetes in water. In total, 46 phyla, 509 families and 902 genera; 70 phyla, 735 families and 1255 genera; 55 phyla, 580 families and 996 genera were observed in gut, sediment and water, respectively. Diversity of microbial communities in respect of observed Operational Taxonomic Units, diversity indices (Shannon and Simpson), richness index (Chao1) were significantly high P (<0.05) in 60 DoC in gut and 30 DoC in sediment. Beta diversity indicated separate clusters for bacterial communities in gut, sediment and water samples and formation of distinct community profiles. Core microbiome in P. vannamei rearing ponds over a time consisted of 9, 21, and 20 OTUs in gut, rearing water and sediment, respectively. This study helps to intervene with suitable beneficial microbes to establish an aquaculture system thereby contributes to enhance the productivity, improve water quality and pond bottom condition, and control the pathogenic agents at each stage of the culture.
