Isolation of Potential Probiotic Bacillus spp. from the Intestine of Nile Tilapia to Construct Recombinant Probiotic Expressing CC Chemokine and Its Effectiveness on Innate Immune Responses in Nile Tilapia.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the potential probiotic Bacillus spp. from the intestine of Nile tilapia in order to construct a recombinant probiotic for the enhancement of the Nile tilapia immune response. One hundred bacterial isolates from the intestine of Nile tilapia were characterized for species identification using the 16s ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Only Bacillus isolates with exhibited antagonistic activity were investigated for their biological functions, which included protease-producing capacity, bile salts and pH tolerance, antibiotic susceptibility, and pathogenicity tests. According to the best results, Bacillus isolate B29, as closely related to B. subtilis, was selected to construct a recombinant probiotic for the delivery of CC chemokine protein (p
