| colonization of the gastrointestinal tract of the farmed south african abalone haliotis midae by the probionts vibrio midae sy9, cryptococcus sp. ss1, and debaryomyces hansenii ay1. | viable cell counts and/or in situ hybridization were used to determine whether the probionts vibrio midae sy9, cryptococcus sp. ss1, and debaryomyces hansenii ay1 can colonize the gastrointestinal tract of the south african abalone haliotis midae. the number of culturable probiotic cells reisolated from h. midae fed probiotic-supplemented feed for 3 weeks ranged from 10(6) to 10(7) cfu/g gut material. a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in probiont numbers 2 days after feeding the probiotic-supple ... | 2006 | 16532366 |
| detection and localisation of the abalone probiotic vibrio midae sy9 and its extracellular protease, vmproa, within the digestive tract of the south african abalone, haliotis midae. | probiotics have been widely reported to increase the growth rate of commercially important fish and shellfish by enhancing the digestion of ingested feed through the production of extracellular enzymes such as proteases and alginases. in order to investigate this further, the objective of this study was to localise the bacterial probiont vibrio midae sy9 and one of the extracellular proteases it produces in the digestive tract of the south african abalone haliotis midae. this was accomplished by ... | 2014 | 24466176 |
