Bacillus spp. in Aquaculture - Mechanisms and Applications: An Update View

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Probiotic Bacteria and Postbiotic Metabolites: Role in Animal and Human Health

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 2))

Abstract

Probiotics have been widely applied in aquaculture industry as sustainable and environmentally friendly tools to sustain host’s health and the well-being. Among probiotics, Bacillus species have great potential applications in aquaculture because they can form the spores that makes them able to survive in the harsh environmental conditions. Moreover, they are nonpathogenic and nontoxic to aquacultural environments and animals. In addition, Bacillus species are able to produce antimicrobial substances making them more suitable candidates compared to other probiotics. In this chapter, we discussed the role of Bacillus in sustainable aquaculture as alternative strategies to enhance growth performance, disease resistance, and immune response of different aquaculture farmed animals.
