Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is one
of the most significant bacterial diseases in global shrimp
culture, causing severe economic losses. In the present study,
we carried out in vitro antimicrobial tests to investigate the
disinfection efficacy of 14 common disinfectants toward different
AHPND-causing Vibrio spp., including eight isolates
of V. parahaemolyticus, four isolates of V. campbellii, and
one isolate of V. owensii. Polyhexamethylene biguanidine hydrochloride
(PHMB) was revealed to possess the strongest
inhibitory activity. Through analyzing and evaluating the results
of antimicrobial tests and acute toxicity test, we selected
PHMB and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for further clinical
protection test. Clinical manifestations indicated that both
PHMB (2 mg/L and 4 mg/L) and H2O2 (12 mg/L) could effectively
protect juvenile Penaeus vannamei from the infection
of V. parahaemolyticus isolate Vp362 at 106 CFU/ml, and the
survival rate was over 80%. When the bacterial concentration
was reduced to 105 CFU/ml, 104 CFU/ml, and 103 CFU/ml,
the survival rate after treated by 1 mg/L PHMB was 64.44%,
93.33%, and 100%, respectively. According to the results,
PHMB and H2O2 showed a lower toxicity while a better protection
activity, particularly against a lower concentration of
the pathogens. Therefore, these two disinfectants are proved
to be promising disinfectants that can be applied to prevent
and control AHPND in shrimp culture. Moreover, the methods
of this study also provided valuable information for the
prevention of other important bacterial diseases and suggested
a reliable means for screening potential drugs in aquaculture.

The cultivation of microbial species remains a primary challenge
in microbiology and obtaining pure cultures is essential
for the study of microbial physiology and function. When
isolating microorganisms from aquaculture environments,
Vibrio are the most dominate isolates on the media that are
commonly used. In order to expand our ability to study microbial
species, an easy-operation and low-cost medium that
can reduce the interference of Vibrio strains and increase the
cultivability of other bacteria is urgently needed. We compared
viable cell counts on conventional media (CM; including
Marine Agar 2216 and LB media) and diluted media (DM;
including 1/10-Marine Agar 2216, 1/10-LB). We also assessed
the diversity of cultivable microorganisms under high and
low nutrient conditions by a plate-wash strategy coupled with
high-throughput sequencing of the V4 hypervariable region
of the 16S rRNA gene. The results show that microbial communities
from DM, especially 1/10-Marine Agar 2216, are
more diverse than those obtained from CM. Vibrio isolates
were reduced on DM. PICRUSt analysis revealed that nutrient
composition is a significant contributor to the diversity
and function of the cultivable microbial communities. Bacteria
grown on CM possess more pathogenic characteristics,
whereas DM favors the growth of bacteria that have multiple
metabolic functions. Collectively, our data provide strong evidence
that dilution of CM influences the cultivability of bacteria
from aquaculture seawater. It also supports that DM can
expand the range of microbial species that can be cultivated.
This study also provides insights for media design in microbial
cultivation from aquaculture systems.
