Feeding of β‐1,3/1,6‐glucan increases the diversity of the intestinal microflora of carp (Cyprinus carpio)
2016-10-01
Abstract excerpt
β‐glucans are immunomodulants that are used in fish nutrition for health improvement. The effect of MacroGard®, a commercially available β‐1,3/1,6‐glucan, on the bacterial community in the gut of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was examined focusing on species diversity. Separate segments of the gut were analysed. We identified cultured bacteria isolates by analysing 16S rRNA gene sequences and additionally used rev...
