The Effect of Disease and Season to Hepatopancreas and Intestinal Mycobiota of Litopenaeus vannamei.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence has manifested that the gut bacterial microbiota of shrimps is closely related to the environmental factors, host developmental stage and health status like that of humans and animals does. These studies have provided an important guidance for improving shrimp culture benefits. In practice, aside from bacteria, eukaryotic microorganisms dominated by fungal microbiota (mycobiota), also play a key role in host growth, metabolism and homeostasis. However, little so far is known about the mycobiota in the digestive tract of shrimp. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing of internal transcribed spacer 1 region to characterize the hepatopancreas and intestinal mycobiota of Pacific white shrimp and their connections with disease incidence and seasonal variation.
