Phenotypic assessment of safety and probiotic potential of native isolates from marine fish Moolgarda seheli towards sustainable aquaculture.

ABSTRACT: Aquaculture is a highly productive and fast-growing agricultural sector. The occurrence of epidemic or sporadic disease outbreak is a major limiting factor in this sector, thus better alternatives are the need of the hour. Use of indigenous probiotics is a promising strategy to control infectious diseases. Thus, the present study was aimed to screen and characterize potent indigenous probiotics from marine fish, Moolgarda seheli, towards enhancing sustainable aquaculture production. Totally 347 bacterial isolates were obtained from M. seheli gastrointestinal tract, out of these, four isolates (KAF121, 124, 135, 136) were confirmed as potent probiotics in terms of biosafety, highly resistant to acidic pH, gastric juice, bile salt, high hydrophobicity to solvents, auto and co-a
