Relations Between Core Taxa and Metabolic Characteristics of Bacterial Communities in Litopenaeus vannamei Ponds and Their Probiotic Potential.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms play a crucial role in purifying aquaculture water bodies. However, there is limited understanding regarding the core species of bacterial communities in aquaculture ponds and their metabolic functions. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology, network analysis, and Biolog EcoPlates, we identified keystone and core taxa of bacterial communities in Litopenaeus vannamei ponds and investigated their correlations with their community's carbon source utilization abilities based on Biolog EcoPlates. We found that keystone and core taxa in bacterial communities were significantly correlated with the carbon source utilization abilities of bacterial communities. The positively correlated core taxa include (1) Bacillus, Flavobacterium, Brevibacillus, and <
