6 Digestive system summary: foregut Foregut: mouth, esophagus, cardiac and pyloric stomach chambers, all covered with a cuticle layer. food ingested via the mouth moves through the esophagus into the cardiac stomach chamber after cutting, crushing, mixing by the lateral teeth systems and filtering by a cardiac setal screen in the cardiac chamber, processed food is drained into the pyloric chamber. In the pyloric region, processed material is further sorted by the ampullary setal screen into a liquid form for further digestion in the hepatopancreas and particles for subsequent transport into the midgut region.

7 Digestive system summary: midgut Nutrient absorption occurs through the midgut Epithelial midgut cells not covered by a cuticle, unlike foregut and hindgut Vulnerable to attack by bacteria Epithelial midgut cells arrange in microvilli (folds to increase surface area for nutrient absorption) Midgut is location of shrimp intestinal bacterial community Additonally, a large number of bacteria are attached to the peritrophic membrane and food particles in the midgut.

12 Gut epibionts (b) between microvilli (mv) of shrimp gut epithelium. Durand et al. 2009

13 Control mid-gut AHPND (EMS) infected mid-gut With infection: Colonizing bacteria cover the epithelium of the anterior midgut. Heavy destruction of the epithelial layers by bacteria exposed of the basement membrane underneath. Densely packed-bacteria cover the epithelium of the anterior midgut. P. Jiravanichpaisal

15 Digestive system summary: peritrophic membrane The midgut region secretes the peritrophic membrane that wraps material coming from the pyloric stomach chamber The peritrophic membrane is continuously formed on the surface of epithelial midgut cells stages 1 and 2, PM is closely attached to the microvilli of epithelial midgut cells PM in stage 3 is detached

16 Digestive system summary: peritrophic membrane It is composed of acellular material produced by the midgut epithelium and consists of proteins and glycosaminoglycans embedded in a chitinous matrix Peritrophic matrix : lattice of chitin fibrils; glycans fill interstitial spaces, creating a molecular sieve The pore size of midgut peritrophic membrane can be as small as 20 nm

17 Chandran et al. 2015

18 Digestive system summary: peritrophic membrane The PM separates ingested food from the gut epithelium and seems to have an important role in the protection against microbial invasion physical barrier: protects midgut epithelium from abrasive food particles digestive enzymes infectious pathogens the PM may play a defensive role by preventing contact between bacteria and the gut epithelium biochemical barrier: sequestering or inactivating toxins compartmentalizes digestive processes: efficient nutrient acquisition and reuse of hydrolytic enzymes

19 Thuong et al. 2016

20 Digestive system summary: hindgut Hindgut is a simple cuticle-lined tube that functions in expelling the peritrophic membrane, containing the feces.

44 Bacterial community composition of Pacific white shrimp gut at different ages Huang et al. 2014

45 Intenstinal microbial community dynamics in L. vannamei The community was dominated by Flavobacteriaceae during middle growth stages and Vibrionaceae during the late growth stages. Rhodobacteraceae and Flavobacteriaceae were present in all growth stages and likely form the intestinal core microbiome. The intestinal bacterial community of white shrimp undergoes dynamic changes at the OTU (species) level during growth. Huang et al. 2014

46 Enzyme producing capabilities of shrimp gut bacteria Vibrio and Pseudoalteromonas genera are normal flora in the shrimp digestive system Pseudoalteromonas is a common genus in the marine environment and produces several chemical compounds, including amylases, β- galactosidases, phospholipases, antimicrobial compounds and proteases Vibrio species are broadly distributed in marine environments and are associated with a wide variety of organisms. Many are known to be pathogens, some in shrimp, while others have been tested as probiotics (e.g. V. alginolyticus, V. fluvialis and V. campbellii) Most of the identified strains produce proteases, amylases, lipases/esterases and chitinases, indicating that L. vannamei bacterial flora includes some groups exhibiting multienzymatic activity.

50 Aspects of gut immunity in non-vertebrates pathogen recognition activation of immune cells effector mechanisms of host defense the gut microbiota plays a role in regulation of the immune system

51 Interactions between the immune system and the gut microbiota Normal bacterial flora provide protection against competing microbes, but also regulate shrimp innate and adaptive immunity the interplay between shrimp and the gut microbiota is important for the maintenance of homeostasis and for protecting shrimp against pathogens the composition of the gut microbiota can be modulated according to shrimp developmental stage the presence of a normal gut microbiota can also influence shrimp development

52 Mechanisms of mucosal immunity in the gut Gut possesses physical and physiological processes to prevent colonization (low ph, peristalsis, antimicrobial molecules) Receptors in gut recognize pathogens (pepditoglycan recognition proteins) Activation of immune cells in the gut hemocyte recruitment to gut epithelium after infection with Vibrio multilayered capsule of hemocytes to confine infection

53 Shrimp Intestinal Immune System P. Jiravanichpaisal 2012

54 Mechanisms of immunity in the gut Lysozymes hydrolytic enzymes Reactive oxygen species (ROS) microbicidal role and modulate signal transduction pathways; regulation of growth of gut microbiota Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) V. harveyi infection induces AMP gene expression

55 Vibrio harveyi has the capacity to induce expression of some immune-related genes in shrimp after bacterial immersion. In the juvenile gut, small changes in expression of the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) genes were observed. The expression of C-type lectin was affected most.

60 Options to regulate shrimp gut health Probiotics gut inoculation Prebiotics nutrients to promote development of selected bacteria Immunostimulants Botanical (phytogenic) substances modulation of microflora Gut acidifiers (organic acids)

61 Probiotics Improve balance of bacteria in gut Compete with pathogenic bacteria for space (adhesion sites) Produce antimicrobial substances in gut Lower ph through acid production Reduce load of Vibrio in gut

65 Probiotics evidence of beneficial effects Adding strains of Vibrio and Bacillus to water promotes shrimp growth A mixture of strains of Vibrio alginolyticus, B. subtilis, Roseobacter gallaeciensis, and Pseudomonas aestumarina to the feed of white shrimp for 28 days significantly reduces FCR and promotes growth A mixture of photosynthetic bacteria and B. subtilis added to the feed of white shrimp for 28 days promotes shrimp growth and improves protease, amylase, cellulase and lipase activities Feeding a Bacillus strain to shrimp can increase the number of hemocytes and the antibacterial and phenoloxidase activity, and can significantly improve survival rates after a challenge with Vibrio harveyi. Feeding a Bacillus strain increases the phenoloxidase and phagocytic activity and the bacterial clearance rate and improves the survival rate of shrimp challenged with V. alginolyticus
