Description Cell free extracts of four strains of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) viz. Lactobacillus. acidophilus,
Streptococcus.cremoris, Lactobacillus bulgaricus –56 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus –57 inhibited
growth of Vibrio alginolyticus in nutrient broth. The antagonism of LAB to Vibrio
alginolyticus was further confirmed by streak plating wherein suppression of growth of Vibrio
was obtained.
Juveniles of Penaeus indicus (average weight 0.985 ± 0.1 g) on administering orally a
moist feed base containing 5 × 106 cells·g of the four LAB probionts for a period of four weeks
showed better survival (56 to 72%) when challenged with V. alginolyticus by intra-muscular
injection of 0.1 ml containing 3 × 109 cells·ml. Animals maintained on a diet devoid of bacterial
biomass exhibited 80% mortality.
