Effect of water pH on susceptibility of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei to acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus was carried out in laboratory condition. White leg shrimp (2 - 3 g) were challenged by immersion for 2 h with tryptic soy broth (TSB)-grown Vibrio parahaemolyticus at 10 times lower dose of LD50. The results showed that the cumulative mortality of V. parahaemolyticus-immersed shrimp after 240 h was increased from low to high pH water levels (23.3 ± 5.8% in pH 6.3; 30.0 ± 20.0% in pH 7.3; 86.7 ± 15.3 in pH 9.3, respectively). The cumulative mortality of shrimp that held in pH = 8.3 was the lowest (20.0 ± 0.0%). In another experiment, immune parameters such as total haemocytes count and respiratory burst of Litopenaeus vannamei held at different pH levels were examined at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. The results indicated that no significant difference of total haemocytes count was observed at different pH water levels (pH 6.3, 7.3, 8.3, 9.3) at 0 - 72 hpc (hour post challenge). At 96 hpc, total haemocytes count at high pH water level (9.3) was increased and significant difference in comparison with the total haemocytes count recorded in low pH water levels (6.3, 7.3, 8.3). Respiratory burst was also not different at different pH water levels at 0 hpc. However, respiratory burst of shrimp that held at low pH water levels (pH 6.3 and 7.3) was rapidly reduced and significant difference in compared with the shrimp that held in high pH water levels (pH 8.3 and 9.3). It was therefore concluded that low and high pH stress decrease the resistance of Litopenaeus vannamei against V. parahaemolyticus and decrease several parameters of the immune response.

The protective effects of two probiotic mixtures was studied using the fingerprints of the bacterial community of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles exposed to probiotics and challenged with Vibrio parahaemolyticus CAIM 170. Fingerprints were constructed using 16S rRNA gene and the PCR-SSCP (Single strand conformation polymorphism) technique, and the probiotics used were an experimental Bacillus mixture (Bacillus tequilensis YC5-2 + B. endophyticus C2-2 and YC3-B) and the commercial probiotic Alibio. The DNA for PCR-SSCP analyses was extracted directly from the guts of shrimps treated for 20 days with the probiotics and injected with 2.5×105 CFU g-1 of V. parahaemolyticus one week after suspension of the probiotic treatment. Untreated shrimps served as positive (injected with V. parahaemolyticus) and negative (not injected) controls Analysis of the bacterial community carried out after inoculation and 12 and 48 h later confirmed that V. parahaemolyticus was present in shrimps of the positive control , but not in the negative control or treated with the probiotic mixtures. A significant difference in the diversity of the bacterial community was observed between times after infection. The band patterns in 0-12 h were clustered into a different group from that determined after 48 h, and suggested that during bacterial infection the guts of whiteleg shrimp were dominated by gamma proteobacteria represented by Vibrio sp. and Photobacterium sp. Our results indicate that the experimental and the commercial mixtures are suitable to modulate the bacterial community of L. vannamei and could be used as a probiotic to control vibriosis in juvenile shrimp.

Effects of water pH on blood physiological parameters and color change of Asian bumblebee catfish (Pseudomystus siamensis) (4 – 6 g/fish) were carried out in laboratory condition. The experiment was set up in 8 weeks at different pH water levels (pH = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). The results have shown that the cumulative mortality ratio of Asian bumblebee catfish at the end of 24 h challenge was 100% at pH = 11, 70.83% at pH = 10, and 62.5% at pH = 3. No mortality of fish was observed at pH = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 after 24 h of the challenge. The lowest and highest pH threshold that killed 50% of fish after 24 h of the challenge were 3.04 and 9.95, respectively. After 24 h of the challenge, total number of red and white blood cells of fish increased at pH = 3, 9, 10, and get the highest level at pH = 3 (1.87 × 106 cells/mm3 and 1.59 × 105 cells/mm3, respectively. At the end of the challenge, highest number of red and white blood cells were observed at pH = 8 (2 ± 0.23 × 106 cells/mm3 and 1.27 ± 0.26 × 105 cells/mm3, respectively). Fish were in bright and beautiful color when cultured in high pH water levels.

The antibacterial activity of herbal extracts to Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) was studied and carried out in the School of Agriculture and Aquaculture, Tra Vinh University. The results showed that the inhibition zone of Muntingia calaburaleaf extract with ethanol 70% was 18.00 ± 0.00mm, Muntingia calabura leaf extract with ethanol 90% was 17.33 ± 0.58 mm and Muntingia calabura fresh leaf extract was 13.00 ± 0.00 mm. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Muntingia calabura leaf extract with ethanol 70% and 90% were 5.120 mg/L, 10.240 mg/L. MIC value of Al lium cepa extract with ethanol 70% and 90% were 40.960 mg/L, Physalis angulata extract with ethanol 70% and 90% were 81.920 mg/L. The results showed that the antimicrobial activity was highest in the Muntingiacalabura leaf extract and lowest in Physalis angulata extract.

Acidification of expired water was studied in rainbow trout exposed to water of pH9.91, 6.80 (control) and 3.88. For the high-pH and the control exposures, the water flowing over the gills was acidified because of the dominant effect of CO2 hydration. During the low-pH treatment, the water was alkalized because of ammonium ion formation and perhaps bicarbonate dehydration. Carbon dioxide excretion was not significantly affected by the high-pH and low-pH treatments but ammonia accumulated in the plasma in both cases.

Abstract. Soil pH is considered one of the main determinants of the assembly of globally distributed microorganisms that catalyse the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nitrogen. However, direct evidence for niche specialization of microorganisms in association with soil pH is still lacking. Using methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) as a model system of carbon cycling, we show that pH is potentially the key driving force selecting for canonical gamma- (type I) and alpha- (type II) methanotrophs in rice paddy soils. DNA-based stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) was combined with high-throughput sequencing to identify the taxonomic identities of active methanotrophs in physiochemically contrasting soils from 6 different paddy fields across China. Following microcosm amendment with 13CH4, methane was primarily consumed by Methylocystis-affiliated type II methanotrophs in soils with a relatively low pH (5.44–6.10), whereas Methylobacter/Methylosarcina-affiliated type I methanotrophs dominated methane consumption in soils with a high pH (7.02–8.02). Consumption of 13CH4 contributed 0.203 % to 1.25 % of soil organic carbon, but no significant difference was observed between high-pH and low-pH soils. The fertilization of ammonium nitrate resulted in no significant changes in the compositions of 13C-labelled methanotrophs in the soils, although significant inhibition of methane oxidation activity was consistently observed in low-pH soils. Mantel analysis further validated soil pH, rather than other parameters tested, had significant correlation to the variation of active methanotrophic compositions across different rice paddy soils. These results suggest that soil pH might have played pivotal roles in mediating the niche differentiation of ecologically important aerobic methanotrophs in terrestrial ecosystems and imply the importance of such niche specialization in regulating methane emissions in paddy field under increasingly intensified input of anthropogenic N fertilizers.
