The microbial composition of rearing water, growth and immune status of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles in biofloc (T1), substrate-integrated biofloc (T2), substrate (T3) systems and a control with four replicates each were evaluated in a 49-day indoor trail. In each HDPE tank of 70 L capacity filled with 10 g L-1 salinity water, ten shrimp (4.56±0.13 g) were stocked. The C: N ratio of 15:1 was maintained in T1 and T2 using wheat flour as carbon source for production of biofloc. The TAN, NO2 and NO3 were lower (P<0.05) in treatment tanks than that in control. It was also observed that the counts of Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Vibrio and zooplankton were high in T2 than T1, T3 and control. There was higher net weight gain (10.38±0.14 g) and lowest FCR (1.27±0.12) with T2 when compared to T1, T3 and control tanks. Moreover, the survival rate is significantly higher in treatments than control. Significant increase in THC (47.24±4.49 x 106 cells ml-1), serum protein (82.67±0.01 mg/ml), Phenoloxidase (0.73±0.03, OD 490 nm) and Lysozyme activity (56.32±0.03%) was observed in T2 than T1, T3 and control. The result shows that substrate-integrated biofloc system assures higher growth, survival and better immune response in L. vannamei.

This study investigated the effect of different carbon sources on water quality, ammonia removal pathways, the bacterial community, and the production of Litopenaeus vannamei in outdoor culture tanks. Three systems were established: a clear water system (CW) and biofloc technology (BFT) systems with added molasses (M-BF) or poly (3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydrovaleric acid) (PHBV) (P-BF). The average pH, total alkalinity, total organic carbon, biofloc volume, chlorophyll a, nitrite, nitrate, total nitrogen, and nitrification rate were significantly different among the treatments. Microbial composition varied and different dominant taxa were identified in the treatments by linear discriminant analysis effect size. Redundancy analysis indicated that the water quality parameters affected the distribution of the microbial community. Moreover, the genus Leucothrix was closely related to the M-BF treatment. Chemoheterotrophy and aerobic chemoheterotrophy were the most abundant functions in all treatments. A comparison of functions using BugBase indicated that the relative abundance of several functions such as biofilm formation, stress tolerance and functions related to anaerobic processes increased in the M-BF treatment. The specific growth rate, growth rate, and survival rate of shrimp were significantly higher in the P-BF system than in the CW system and the feed conversion ratio in the BFT treatments was significantly lower than that in the CW system. Overall, adding carbon sources affected water quality, microbial community, and shrimp performance. The results show that PHBV is a good alternative to carbon sources.

Abstract Shrimp production is the second ranked of the most-traded production in these decades and the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is the sixth most cultured species. Probiotics are alternative strategy for the promotion of growth and prevention of diseases in aquaculture. To confirmed the effects of the probiotics on development and microbial community of L. vannamei larvae during different development stages, five kinds of probiotics (108~109 CFU/g ) were added into the shrimp larvae rearing environment, and the effects of probiotics on bacterial community and water quality, larval growth and immune index were determined from nauplius larval stage to post larval stage. Results suggested that probiotics treated groups showed larger survival rate than the control groups from Z1 stage to P5 stage. Lactobacillus could improve the larvae’s survival ability, especially in the larval stages M2, M3, P1, P5 stage. It was confirmed that probiotics could promote the growth and development of shrimp larvae and prevent the incomplete molting in their growing process, particularly for EM-treated group. Results suggested that all the probiotics-treated groups had shown significant decreasing trend in the quantity of vibrios, except for the SA-treated group.And different probiotics could inhibite vibrios in different life periods. Amount these probiotics, LA, EM and PB had shown the best effects, including improving survival rate of the larvae, promoting the larval metamorphosis, reducing the quantity of vibrios and NH4-N and NO2-N levels, and increasing bacterial diversity.

AbstractThe rhizosphere effect of ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) dissipation, bioavailability and the structure change of microbial community was investigated using a compartmented device-rhizobox. The PAHs removal efficiency, bioavailability and the change in structure of the microbial community were ascertained using HPLC, Tenax-TA extraction and PCR-DGGE, respectively. The results showed that in the root area (R1) and bulk soil (CK), the removal of 3-ring PAHs were 97.72 ± 0.34% and 95.51 ± 0.75%, 4-ring PAHs were 89.01 ± 1.61% and 78.65 ± 0.47%, 5-ring PAHs were 77.64 ± 4.05% and 48.63 ± 3.19%, 6-ring PAHs were 68.69 ± 3.68% and 36.09 ± 1.78%, respectively. The average removal efficiency of the total PAHs after 80 days followed the order: R1M (91.1%) > CKM (84.9%) > CK (77.6%), indicating that planted soil with inoculation of Mycobacterium sp. as well as non-planted soil inoculated with Mycobacterium sp. could both significantly accelerate the removal of PAHs compared to control soil. The bioavailability ratio of PAHs with 3 and 4 rings tended to decrease (from 59.9% to 14.8% for 3-ring and 7.61% to 5.08% for 4-ring, respectively in R1) while those with 5 rings increased significantly (from 2.41% to 33.78% in R1) during the last 40 days, indicating that bioavailability alteration varies with the number of rings in the PAHs. In addition, PAH bioavailability generally did not show a significant difference between treated soil and control soil. These results suggest that ryegrass rhizosphere effect as well as inoculation of Mycobacterium sp. can accelerate PAH removal in polluted soil. The bacteria community structure demonstrated a complex interplay of soil, bacteria and ryegrass root, and potential PAH degraders were present in abundance. This study provides the exploring data of rhizosphere and bioaugmentation effect on PAH dissipation in agricultural soil, as well as the change of bioavailability and microbial composition thereof.

Background: Treatment options for advanced gastric esophageal cancer are quite limited. Chemotherapy is unavoidable at certain stages, and research on targeted therapies has mostly failed. The advent of immunotherapy has brought hope for the treatment of advanced gastric esophageal cancer. The aim of the study was to analyze the safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy and the long-term survival of patients who were diagnosed as gastric esophageal cancer and received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Method: Studies on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy of advanced gastric esophageal cancer published before February 1, 2020 were searched online. The survival (e.g. 6-month overall survival, 12-month overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rates (ORR)) and adverse effects of immunotherapy were compared to that of control therapy (physician’s choice of therapy). Results: After screening 185 studies, 4 comparative cohort studies which reported the long-term survival of patients receiving immunotherapy were included. Compared to control group, the 12-month survival (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.31 to 2.12, P < 0.0001) and 18-month survival (OR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.39 to 2.81, P = 0.0001) were significantly longer in immunotherapy group. The 3-month survival rate (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.36 to 3.06, P = 0.92) and 18-month survival rate (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 0.98 to 2.12, P = 0.07) were not significantly different between immunotherapy group and control group. The ORR were not significantly different between immunotherapy group and control group (OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 0.65 to 3.66, P = 0.01). Meta-analysis pointed out that in the PD-L1 CPS ≥10 sub group population, the immunotherapy could obviously benefit the patients in tumor response rates (OR = 3.80, 95% CI: 1.89 to 7.61, P = 0.0002). Conclusion: For the treatment of advanced gastric esophageal cancer, the therapeutic efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy was superior to that of chemotherapy or palliative care.
