    Weissella cibaria is a lactic acid bacteria that has been receiving great interest in the last decade; however, its research into aquaculture remains insufficient. In this context, the resistance to pH 3–5, bile salts (10–20%), hydrophobicity, and carbohydrate metabolisms of two W. cibaria strains isolated from rainbow trout were evaluated. At the same time, the postbiotic products of both W. cibaria were produced under different conditions, and their stability to heat (95–130 °C) and proteolytic enzymes were determined. The low pH sensitivity of two pathogens (Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida and Yersinia ruckeri) was also recorded. Both strains of W. cibaria survived pH and bile salt treatments. Neither expressed enzymatic activity or hydrophobic characteristics with the executed methods. Treatment with heat, enzymes, and transfer to vegetal broth significantly reduced (p < 0.05) the postbiotic product’s antibacterial activity. On the other hand, no significant difference (p < 0.05) was reported in antibacterial characteristics when postbiotics were produced by coculturing both strains. Low pH does not significantly influence pathogen growth (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that the studied strains do not adjust as probiotics, but the postbiotic product obtained from them could become a promising tool as a supplement food for fish aquaculture applications.

    In vitro evaluation of postbiotics produced from bacterial isolates obtained from rainbow trout and nile tilapia against the pathogens Yersinia ruckeri and Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. Salmonicida

    The use of antibiotics in aquaculture leads to the proliferation of multidrug-resistant bacteria, and an urgent need for developing new alternatives to prevent and control disease has, thus, arisen. In this scenario, postbiotics represent a promising tool to achieve this purpose; thus, in this study, isolation and selection of bacteria to further produce and evaluate their postbiotics antibacterial activity against fish pathogens was executed. In this respect, bacterial isolates from rainbow trout and Nile tilapia were obtained and tested in vitro against Yersinia ruckeri and Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida. From 369 obtained isolates, 69 were selected after initial evaluation. Afterwards, additional screening was carried out by spot-on-lawn assay to finally select twelve isolates; four were identified as Pediococcus acidilactici, seven as Weissella cibaria, and one as Weissella paramesenteroides by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization, time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Selected bacteria were used to obtain postbiotic products to test their antagonistic activity through coculture challenge and broth microdilution assays. The influence of incubation time prior to postbiotic production on antagonistic behavior was also recorded. Two isolates identified as W. cibaria were able to significantly reduce (p < 0.05) A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida’s growth in the coculture challenge up to 4.49 ± 0.05 Log CFU/mL, and even though the reduction in Y. ruckeri was not as effective, some inhibition on the pathogen’s growth was reported; at the same time, most of the postbiotic products obtained showed more antibacterial activity when obtained from broth cultures incubated for 72 h. Based on the results obtained, the preliminary identification of the isolates that expressed the highest inhibitory activity was confirmed by partial sequencing as W. cibaria. Through our study, it can be concluded that postbiotics produced by these strains are useful to inhibit the growth of the pathogens and could, thereby, be applicable in further research to develop suitable tools as feed additives for disease control and prevention in aquaculture.
