Abstract

Even though the Pacific white shrimp is a very important culture species, there is little information on the effect of feed nutrients on the intestinal microbiota. In shrimp, dietary fatty acids largely affect the growth and immune system of Litopenaeus vannamei in part by changing the intestinal bacterial profile. Therefore, an Illumina-based sequencing method was used to examine the intestinal bacterial composition of L. vannamei following six diets with different lipid sources. The bacterial communities in the culture water and shrimp intestinal contents were also compared. The results revealed that shrimp fed a diet with an equal combination of soybean oil, beef tallow, and linseed oil (SBL) had significantly higher weight gain and survival rate than those fed with soybean oil or beef tallow. Proteobacteria and Tenericutes were dominant in the intestines of L. vannamei regardless of the diet. There was a significant prevalence of Rhizobiaceae in shrimp fed the SBL diet than in shrimp fed diets with soybean oil or beef tallow. Proteobacteria dominated in both the culture water and shrimp intestinal samples of L. vannamei. These results suggest that the host intestinal environment imposes selective pressure on the establishment of microbial communities. Lipid sources with different fatty acid compositions could affect the composition of the intestinal microbiota of L. vannamei.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
