Description
Kanokwan Dekham and colleagues published an aquaculture study in 2023. They tested a helpful bacterium against shrimp disease. White spot virus kills farmed shrimp very fast. Losses hit shrimp producers around the world hard. The team used a Lactobacillus strain called KD1. Young shrimp received it before virus exposure. Survival, virus levels, and immune genes were measured. The full genome of the strain was also read.
Treated shrimp died far less often after challenge. No virus copies were detected in treated shrimp. Several immune genes switched on more strongly too. Genome reading showed one chromosome and one plasmid. Only one resistance gene was found overall. Related strains came from very different animal hosts. Special genes may help it survive and fight viruses. The strain looks promising for shrimp farming.
