Screening of probiotic bacteria and its role on artificial infection of Vibrio harvey in white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
<p>Probiotic was screened from 28 strains of normal bacterial flora isolated from rearing water in a <em>Litopenaeus vannamei</em> farm based on its inhibitory activity against the growth of <em>Vibrio harveyi</em>. Antibacterial activity was also tested in vivo to <em>V. harveyi</em> in <em>L. vannamei</em>. The result showed that the probiotic has a antibacterial effect on <em>V. harveyi</em>. The in vivo test showed that shrimps injected with probiotic previously before challenged with <em>V. harveyi</em> has survival higher than control. Probiotic isolate was suspected as <em>Vibrio furnissi</em>.</p> <p>Keywords: biocontrol, inhibitory activity, <em>Vibrio furnissi</em>, <em>Vibrio harveyi</em>, <em>Litopenaeus vannamei</em></p> <p> </p> <p>AbstraK</p> <p>Bakteri probiotik ditapis dari 28 strain bacteria flora yang diisolasi dari air pemeliharaan udang vaname <em>Litopenaeus vannamei</em> berdasarkan aktivitas penghambatannya terhadap pertumbuhan <em>Vibrio harveyi</em>. Aktivitas bakteri probiotik juga diuji secara <em>in vivo</em> terhadap <em>V. harveyi</em> pada udang putih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bakteri probiotik isolat memiliki kemampuan antibakteria terhadap <em>V. harveyi</em>. Uji <em>in vivo</em> menunjukkan bahwa udang yang diinjeksi probiotik sebelum diuji tantang dengan <em>V. harveyi</em> memiliki kelangsungan hidup lebih tinggi daripada kontrol. Isolat probiotik tersebut diduga adalah <em>Vibrio furnissi</em>.</p> <p>Kata kunci: biokontrol, aktivitas penghambatan, <em>Vibrio furnissi, Vibrio harveyi, Litopenaeus</em> <em>vannamei</em></p>
