ABSTRACT
In the present study, 59 autochthonous bacteria were isolated from the intestine of tilapia. Following enzyme producing activity, antagonistic ability, hemolytic activity, drug sensitivity assessments, and in vivo safety evaluation, 7 potential probiotic strains were screened out Bacillus tequilensis BT0825-2 (BT), Bacillus aryabhattai BA0829-3 (BA1), Bacillus megaterium BM0505-6 (BM), Bacillus velezensis BV0505-11 (BV), Bacillus licheniformis BL0505-18 (BL), B. aryabhattai BA0505-19 (BA2), and Lactococcus lactis LL0306-15 (LL). Subsequently, tilapia were fed basal diets (CT) and basal diets supplemented with 108 CFU/g of BT, BA1, BM, BV, BL, BA2 and LL, respectively. After 56 days of continuous feeding, the growth parameters (weight gain, final weight, and specific growth rate) showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in both BM and BA2 groups. The total cholesterol and triglycerides of serum were significantly decreased in BV and LL groups (p < 0.05). The superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, and lysozyme of BV, BA2 and LL groups were increased, and the malondialdehyde of BV group was significantly decreased. The villous height and amylase of midgut were increased in BV, BA2 and LL groups. In addition, the expression levels of ZO-1 and occludin genes in the midgut of tilapia were enhanced in BM, BV, BA2 and LL groups. The supplementation of probiotics reduced the abundance of Cyanobacteria and increased the abundance of Actinobacteria at the phylum level. At the genus level, the addition of probiotics increased the abundance of Romboutsia. Furthermore, improvement in the expression of immune-related genes were observed, including interleukin 1ß, interleukin 10, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and transforming growth factor beta (p < 0.05). After challenging with S. agalactiae, the survival rates of BV, BA2 and LL groups were significantly higher than CT group (p < 0.05). Above results indicated that BM, BA2, BV and LL improved growth performance, gut health or immunity of tilapia, which can be applied in tilapia aquaculture.
