Digestive system summary:foregut
• Foregut: mouth, esophagus, cardiac and pyloric stomach chambers, all covered with a cuticle layer.
• food ingested via the mouth moves through the esophagus into the cardiac stomach chamber
• after cutting, crushing, mixing by the lateral teeth systems and filtering by a cardiac setal screen in the cardiac chamber, processed food is drained into the pyloric chamber.
• In the pyloric region, processed material is further sorted by the ampullary setal screen into a liquid form for further digestion in the hepatopancreas and particles for subsequent transport into the midgut region.

Digestive system summary: midgut
• Nutrient absorption occurs through the midgut
• Epithelial midgut cells not covered by a cuticle, unlike foregut and hindgut
– Vulnerable to attack by bacteria
• Epithelial midgut cells arrange in microvilli (folds to increase surface area for nutrient absorption)
• Midgut is location of shrimp intestinal bacterial community
• Additonally, a large number of bacteria are attached to the peritrophic membrane and food particles in the midgut.

Digestive system summary: peritrophic membrane
• The midgut region secretes the peritrophic membrane that wraps material coming from the pyloric stomach chamber
• The peritrophic membrane is continuously formed on the surface of epithelial midgut cells
– stages 1 and 2, PM is closely attached to the microvilli of epithelial midgut cells
– PM in stage 3 is detached

Digestive system summary: peritrophic membrane
• It is composed of acellular material produced by the midgut epithelium and consists of proteins and glycosaminoglycans embedded in a chitinous matrix
• Peritrophic matrix : lattice of chitin fibrils; glycans fill interstitial spaces, creating a molecular sieve
• The pore size of midgut peritrophic membrane can be as small as 20 nm

Digestive system summary: peritrophic membrane
• The PM separates ingested food from the gut epithelium and seems to have an important role in the protection against microbial invasion
• physical barrier: protects midgut epithelium from– abrasive food particles
– digestive enzymes
– infectious pathogens
• the PM may play a defensive role by preventing contact between bacteria and the gut epithelium
• biochemical barrier: sequestering or inactivating toxins
• compartmentalizes digestive processes: efficient nutrient acquisition and reuse of hydrolytic enzymes

Hindgut is a simple cuticle-lined tube that functions in expelling the peritrophic membrane, containing the feces.

• The community was dominated by Flavobacteriaceae during middle growth stages and Vibrionaceae during the late growth stages.

• The intestinal bacterial community of white shrimp undergoes dynamic changes at the OTU (species) level during growth. Huang et al. 2014

Enzyme producingcapabilities of shrimp gut bacteria
• Vibrio and Pseudoalteromonas genera are normal flora in the shrimp digestive system
• Pseudoalteromonas is a common genus in the marine environment and produces several chemical compounds, including amylases, β-galactosidases, phospholipases, antimicrobial compounds and proteases
• Vibrio species are broadly distributed in marine environments and are associated with a wide variety of organisms.
• Many are known to be pathogens, some in shrimp, while others have been tested as probiotics (e.g. V. alginolyticus, V. fluvialis and V. campbellii)
• Most of the identified strains produce proteases, amylases, lipases/esterases and chitinases, indicating that L. vannamei bacterial flora includes some groups exhibiting multienzymatic activity.

Aspects of gut immunity in non-vertebrates
• pathogen recognition
• activation of immune cells
• effector mechanisms of host defense
• the gut microbiota plays a role in regulation of the immune system

Interactions between the immune system and the gut microbiota
• Normal bacterial flora provide protection against competing microbes, but also regulate shrimp innate and adaptive immunity
• the interplay between shrimp and the gut microbiota is important for the maintenance of homeostasis and for protecting shrimp against pathogens
• the composition of the gut microbiota can be modulated according to shrimp developmental stage
• the presence of a normal gut microbiota can also influence shrimp development

Mechanisms of mucosal immunity in the gut
• Gut possesses physical and physiological processes to prevent colonization (low pH, peristalsis, antimicrobial molecules)
• Receptors in gut recognize pathogens (pepditoglycan recognition proteins)
• Activation of immune cells in the gut
– hemocyte recruitment to gut epithelium after infection with Vibrio
– multilayered capsule of hemocytes to confine infection

Mechanisms of immunity in the gut
• Lysozymes– hydrolytic enzymes
• Reactive oxygen species (ROS)– microbicidal role and modulate signal transduction
pathways; regulation of growth of gut microbiota
• Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)– V. harveyi infection induces AMP gene expression

Vibrio harveyi has the capacity to induce expression of some immune-related genes in shrimp after bacterial immersion.
In the juvenile gut, small changes in expression of the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) genes were observed.
The expression of C-type lectin was affected most.

• Prebiotics – nutrients to promote development of selected bacteria
• Immunostimulants
• Botanical (phytogenic) substances –modulation of microflora
• Gut acidifiers (organic acids)

Probiotics
• Improve “balance” of bacteria in gut
• Compete with pathogenic bacteria for “space” (adhesion sites)
• Produce antimicrobial substances in gut
• Lower pH through acid production
• Reduce load of Vibrio in gut

Probiotics – evidence of beneficial effects
• Adding strains of Vibrio and Bacillus to water promotes shrimp growth
• A mixture of strains of Vibrio alginolyticus, B. subtilis, Roseobacter gallaeciensis, and Pseudomonas aestumarina to the feed of white shrimp for 28 days significantly reduces FCR and promotes growth
• A mixture of photosynthetic bacteria and B. subtilis added to the feed of white shrimp for 28 days promotes shrimp growth and improves protease, amylase, cellulase and lipase activities
• Feeding a Bacillus strain to shrimp can increase the number of hemocytes and the antibacterial and phenoloxidase activity, and can significantly improve survival rates after a challenge with Vibrio harveyi.
• Feeding a Bacillus strain increases the phenoloxidase and phagocytic activity and the bacterial clearance rate and improves the survival rate of shrimp challenged with V. alginolyticus

Inhibition of Vibrio activity – quorum sensing• Cell-to-cell communication• Bacteria sense and respond to environmental changes and
to each other through extracellular signal molecules• Signal molecules regulate gene expression for
virulence/pathogenicity, biofilm formation, toxin secretion, bioluminescence, etc.

• Isolation of locally adapted strains of probiotics
• Proper activation of probiotics
• Adding sufficient doses
• Adding to feed without significant change to feed properties/quality
• Developing capacity on farm to culture bacteria (agar plates/slants)

Take aways• Gut bacterial communities tend to be dominated by
Vibrios
– Difference between “good” and “bad” Vibrios often a matter of concentration (QS)
• Gut communities are dynamic but ability to manipulate is limited and short term
– Bacillus colonization is minor
– Greater benefit likely associated with enzyme production
• Gut plays an important role in immune function
• Economic evaluation of using functional feed ingredients needed
• Value of probiotics increases with production intensity
