Babylonia spirata (Linnaeus, 1758) on biochemical and nutritional composition levels are altered by Aeromonas hydrophila infection.

ABSTRACT: The present study comprises the biochemical and nutritional composition level of control and infected host of B. spirata with A. hydrophila. The healthy species were collected from the Therespuram coast, Southeast coast of India. After the acclimatization period, 15 snails were selected and infected with seven different bacterial pathogens by intramuscular injection. The snails which shows the maximum mortality rate after the bacterial infection was selected for the biochemical composition nutritional level. It was then analyzed and compared to the control group. Based on this result, the FTIR spectrum, DNA fragmentation, SDS PAGE Profile, amino acids (phenylalanine), fatty acids (linolenic acids), minerals (aluminum and copper) was recorded maximum in control and minimum in infected tissue of B. spirata. The result of the present study showed, presences of rich nutrition composition good protein profile in this species add more value of economic importance.
