Crucian Carp Gut Disease-resistance SynCom

Community ID CommunityMech:000293
Ecological State ENGINEERED
Environment crucian carp (Carassius auratus) intestine
ENVO:2100002

A simplified synthetic microbial community of three gut genera (Cetobacterium, Paraclostridium, and Pseudomonas) assembled from the intestinal microbiota of crucian carp (Carassius auratus). These genera were enriched in fish that displayed mild symptoms after Aeromonas hydrophila infection, and fecal microbiota transplantation from mild-symptom fish conferred enhanced resistance to the pathogen. The reconstituted SynCom significantly reduced A. hydrophila abundance by activating intestinal immune responses and reinforcing the gut barrier, supporting microbiome-based disease prevention in aquaculture.

    "administration of this community significantly improved host resistance to A. hydrophila (p < 0.05) by activating intestinal immune responses and reinforcing the gut barrier"

Growth Media

BHI and LB (brain heart infusion and Luria-Bertani)

Temperature 28 °C

Preparation notes: SynCom strains isolated on BHI and LB agar (48 h, anaerobic at 28 C and aerobic), then expanded in 5 mL BHI/LB broth with overnight shaking to OD600 1.0 before combining.
