The Effect of Disease and Season to Hepatopancreas and Intestinal Mycobiota of Litopenaeus vannamei
Conclusion
In this study, we used a high-throughput sequencing approach to explore the hepatopancreas and intestinal mycobiota of L. vannamei. The results disclosed that (1) the composition of the gut and hepatopancreas of L. vannamei is highly diverse and different from that of humans; (2) in winter, the diversity and composition of the mycobiota had a significant difference between the intestinal and hepatopancreas; (3) seasonal variation and diseases considerably affected the fungal microbiota of L. vannamei; (4) healthy shrimps was significantly enriched in the genera Didymella and Filobasidium in the gut, and Pyrenochaetopsis in the hepatopancreas. Sick groups had an increased abundance of the genera Candida in the intestine. The different fungi may be fungal indicators for health or diseases progression.
