Gut probiotic bacteria of Barbonymus gonionotus improve growth, hematological parameters and reproductive performances of the host.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to isolate and identify probiotic bacteria from the gut of Barbonymus gonionotus and evaluate their effects on growth, hematological parameters, and breeding performances of the host. Five probiotic bacteria viz. Enterococcus xiangfangensis (GFB-1), Pseudomonas stutzeri (GFB-2), Bacillus subtilis (GFB-3), Citrobacter freundii (GFB-4), and P. aeruginosa (GFB-5) were isolated and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Application of a consortium of probiotic strains (1-3 × 1.35 × 10⁹ CFU kg^-1) or individual strain such as GFB-1 (1.62 × 10⁹ CFU kg^-1), GFB-2 (1.43 × 10⁹ CFU kg^-1), GFB-3 (1.06 × 10⁹ CFU kg^-1), GFB-4 (1.5 × 10⁹ CFU kg^-1) or GFB-5 (1.43 × 10⁹
