Vibriosis is a multifactorial disease that causes economic losses in the shrimp farming industry. As part of an ecological approach for its control, aqueous extracts from plants generally recognized as safe (GRAS): Allium sativum (290000 µg mL-1), Camellia sinensis (40000 µg mL-1), Morinda citrifolia (250000 µg mL-1) and Origanum vulgare (50000 µg...
In the search for probiotic bacteria from marine environments to control pathogenic Vibrio of cultivable marine species, this study focused on members of the genus Pseudovibrio. Based on its symbiotic features and antibacterial capacity, the genus Pseudovibrio could be used as probiotic to control vibriosis in shrimp culture. Fortythree isolates of...
The marine biodiversity program of CENAIM-ESPOL focuses on sessile invertebrates from the “‘El Pelado’ marine reserve”. The present study aims at understanding the different hierarchical levels of biodiversity found at the “El Pelado” and to guide biodiscovery initiatives. Generated biodiversity data were systematized in a database (Darwin Core sta...
Las esponjas marinas constituyen una fuente rica de metabolitos bioactivos con propiedades antibacterianas, antitumorales, antifúngicas, antivirales y antinflamatorias. Sin embargo, no todas estas moléculas son producidas por las esponjas, estudios recientes indican que muchos de estos metabolitos son productos de los microorganismos asociados, ent...
Debido a las variaciones ambientales los sistemas de cultivo constituyen
ambientes estresantes que favorecen la aparición y propagación de
enfermedades infecciosas. Las prácticas de manejo para controlarlas han
involucrado el uso de antibióticos y probióticos, muchas veces de forma
empírica. Nosotros proponemos hacer una revisión profunda de esas p...
