Antibiotic has frequently been used in the shrimp-farming  
process in Vietnam. This leads to the status that antibiotic-  
resistant bacteria and products do not receive in the market.  
Bacteria had the resistant ability to pathogenic bacteria in water,  
and they have an important role in sustainable aquaculture. This  
study aimed to isolate and select good bacterial strains against  
Vibrio parahaemolyticus, pathogenic bacteria, on shrimp from 8  
samples of shrimp pond water at 3 villages Ngu Lac, Phuoc An  
and Long Toan of Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province on NB  
agar medium. As a result, fifty-nine bacterial isolates were  
isolated and 10/59 isolates (16.95%) were identified as resistant  
to Vibrio parahaemolyticus by the good diffusion method. In 10  
isolates, there were 7 isolates that had good resistance to selection  
for PCR technique and sequencing. The result indicated that these  
seven strains, including DH1m, DH2f, DH4d, DH8i, DH8m,  
DH8n, belonged to Bacilli and the DH1n strain belonged to  
Streptomyces sp.

1. Introduction  
Shrimp cultivation has been faced with pathogenic bacterial infections, such as  
luminous vibriosis and acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by Vibrio  
harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, respectively (Chumpol et al., 2019). Shrimp production  
in Southeast Asia steadily averaged 6.0% annual growth from 2008 to 2011; however, the  
production declined from 3.45 million metric tons (MMT) to 3.25 MMT in 2012 (down 5.8%)  
and 3.21 MMT in 2013 (down 1.1%) due to the impact of early mortality syndrome (EMS) in  
China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia (Anderson, 2016). EMS is also called the acute  
hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and is infectious with the symptoms including  
sloughing of hepatopancreas (HP) cells, enlarged HP nuclei, and lack of B, F, R cells and E cell  
mitosis (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 2013). The outbreak  
of AHPND/ EMS in Thailand was first reported in late 2012 in pacific white shrimp farming  
44

on the eastern coast, and then spreading to the west coast facing the Gulf of Thailand (Flegel,  
2012; Joshi et al., 2014). It caused 100% mortality early on in shrimp cultures, at around 20-30  
days of cultivation; and V. parahaemolyticus is recognized as the bacterial strain that caused  
AHPND/EMS (Tran et al., 2013).  
To solve these problems, shrimp farmers normally use antibiotics to eliminate  
pathogenic bacteria; however, antibiotics can be harmful to consumer health. Also, long term  
use of antibiotics leads to residual compounds in sediment and water, and the bacteria can adapt  
themselves by selecting for antibiotic-resistant genes (Zhang, Li, & Sun, 2011). For sustainable  
shrimp cultivation, probiotics and/or their anti-vibrio compounds as biocontrol agents have  
been explored to control vibriosis in shrimp farming. Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria  
have been identified as potential probiotics for aquaculture, with effects against various  
pathogens (Brunt, Newaj-Fyzyl, & Austin, 2007). The aim of this work was to isolate, select,  
and identify bacterial isolates having good resistance to V. parahaemolyticus in the water of  
shrimp pond on Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province, Vietnam to produce a probiotic for  
shrimp cultivation.  
2. Materials and methods  
2.1. Materials  
Water samples were collected at the depth of 0.2m and distance shore 4m, from 8  
shrimp-ponds of 3 villages (Long Toan, Ngu Lac, Dinh An) (9o64’37” to 9o67’88” East and  
106o45’29” to 106o51’73” North) of Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province, Vietnam, they  
stored in an icebox and transferred to Can Tho University laboratory, stored -4oC in the  
refrigerator until analysis.  
Vibrio parahaemolyticus provided by Dr. Đang Thi Hoang Oanh, Department of  
Aquaculture Pathology, College of Aquaculture, Can Tho University.  
Nutrient Agar (Difco) medium supplemented with Aginalxic (10µg/l) and Nystatin  
(25µg/l) into the medium after autoclaving; Luria Bertani medium (Sambrook, Fritsch, &  
Manlatis, 1989).  
2.2. Methods  
2.2.1. Isolation and culture  
Water samples were serially diluted with sterile saline water (0.01%). A hundred  
microliters of the suspensions were spread onto the NB agar medium. All plates were inoculated  
at room temperature for 24h; the disjointed colonies were recorded and re-streaked to obtain a  
pure culture. The colonies bearing distinct morphological characteristics were picked up and  
transferred to freshly prepared media until pure cultures were obtained.  
2.2.2. Screening assays for antibacterial activity  
The liquid cultures were grown with shaking at 150rpm for 1 day depending on their  
growth rate at 30°C. The broth was centrifuged in 50mL falcon tubes (5000rpm, 15min at room  
temperature; Megafuge 1.0R, Heraeus) and the supernatant was stored at 4°C. The bacterial test  
organisms were plated in the LB medium. The antimicrobial extract was added to the wells; the  
Tran Vu Phuong et al. Ho Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science, 10(1), 43-52 45  
plates were incubated at 4°C for 2h for the diffusion of antimicrobial extract and observed for  
the zones of inhibition at 28°C for 48h.  
2.2.3. The Agar well diffusion method  
The active isolates were cultured by the method given in the previous step. The  
supernatants were used for testing extracellular antimicrobial activity by agar well diffusion  
method. By using a sterile cork borer, wells were punctured in an appropriate agar medium  
previously seeded with one of the test organisms. One hundred microliters of the culture  
supernatants were added to each well. The plates were then incubated at 4oC for at least 2h to  
allow the diffusion of crude extracts followed by incubation for 24h at 37oC for bacteria and  
48h at 28oC for yeast. The diameters of inhibition zones were monitored and measured  
(Galindo, 2004) and positive control was penicillin.  
2.2.4. Genomic DNA extraction  
Bacterial cells from these cultures were collected by centrifugation and genomic DNA  
was extracted (Sambrook et al., 1989).  
2.2.5. PCR amplification and sequencing of 16S rDNA  
PCR was used with primer 27F (5’-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3’) (Weisburg,  
Barns, Pelletier, & Lane, 1991) and 1492R (5’-TACGGTTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3’)  
(Reysenbach, Giver, Wickham, & Pace, 1992) Cycling condition was as follows: initial  
denaturation at 95°C for 5min, 30 cycles of 95°C for 30 sec, 55°C for 30 sec, and 72°C for 90  
sec, and a final extension of 5min for 72°C.  
2.2.6. Sequence analysis  
The 16S rRNA gene sequences were compared with those from the type strains  
Tool (BLAST) (Altschul, Gish, Miller, Myers, & Lipman, 1990).  
For phylogenetic analysis, multiple sequence alignment was performed using  
CLUSTALX, version 1.81. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using Mega 7.0 (Kumar,  
Stecher, Li, Knyaz, & Tamura, 2018). The consistency of the trees was verified by  
bootstrapping (1000 replicates) for maximum likelihood.  
2.2.7. Data analyses  
The experimental results were analyzed as a two-way ANOVA with the isolates and  
with levels of diameters of inhibition zones. All analyses were conducted using the program  
MSTATC, Minitab 16. The data were considered significantly different at P<0.01. Duncan test  
at P=0.01 was used to differentiate between statistically.  
3. Results and discussions  
3.1. Isolation of bacteria  
A total of 59 isolates of bacteria was purified from 8 water samples collected at 3 sites  
(Long Toan, Phuoc An and, Ngu Lac).

A sequence of DN1n isolate searched on NCBI data bank, its similarity with  
Pseudomonas… with 99.77%, in this table, however, there is only a strain Streptomyces sp. (a  
positive-gram bacteria) which has also the similarity with DN1n isolate with 99.77% we can  
select this strain to replace Pseudomonas sp. in the phylogenetic tree. Furthermore, the result  
of gram strain showed that all of the isolated bacteria were gram-positive therefore DH1n isolate  
was selected as gram-positive instead of gram-negative.  
A UPGMA phylogenetic tree (Figure 3) in these strains showing the two clusters:  
cluster A with 6 strains including two smaller clusters as cluster A1 with 4 strains (Bacillus  
subtilis DH1m, Bacillus velezensis DH8m, Bacillus amyloliquefasciens DH8i, B. tequilensis  
GH2f) while cluster A2 with 2 strains were Streptomyces sp. DH1n and Bacillus subtilis DH4d.  
Cluster B only had one strain Bacillus flexus DH8n. Even though 7 strains originated from 3  
sites far from many kilometers, but they had their genetics closely.

Vibrio species are among the most important bacterial pathogens of cultured shrimp.  
They are responsible for several diseases and mortalities of up to 100% due to vibriosis have  
been reported (Karunasagar, Pai, Malathi, & Karunasagar, 1994). In the search for more  
effective and environmentally friendly treatments, probiotics have emerged as a viable  
alternative (Balca´zar et al., 2006; Verschuere, Rombaut, Sorgeloos, & Verstraete, 2000).  
Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that confer a health benefit on the host when  
consumed in adequate amounts (Reid et al., 2003). The genus Bacillus has been isolated from  
crustacean intestine (Rengpipat, Rukpratanporn, Piyatiratitivorakul, & Menasaveta, 2000),  
bivalves (Sugita, Tanaami, Kobashi, & Deguchi, 1981), and marine fish (Sugita, Hirose,  
Matsuo, & Deguchi, 1998). Some species of this genus have shown inhibitory activity against  
various pathogens (Rengpipat, Phianphak, Piyatiratitivorakul, & Menasaveta, 1998; Sugita et  
al., 1998).  
In addition, several studies have reported that Bacillus produces polypeptide antibiotics,  
such as bacitracin, gramicidin S, polymyxin, and tyrotricidin, which are active against a wide  
range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Drablos, Nicholson, & Ronning, 1999;  
Morikawa, Ito, & Imanaka, 1992; Perez, Suarez, & Castro, 1993).  
Balca´zar and Rojas-Luna (2007) discovered the bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis UTM  
126 produced antimicrobial activity against pathogenic Vibrio species, including V.  
alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. harveyi. The treatment with B. subtilis UTM 126  
decreased final mortality to 18.25%, compared with 51.75% in the control group. Bacillus  
subtilis UTM 126 has potential applications for controlling pathogenic V. harveyi in shrimp  
aquaculture.  
Recently, Vidal, Pessoa, Dos Santos, Mendes, and Mendes (2018) recognized that B.  
cereus isolate from the intestine of shrimps Litopenaeus vannamei can colonize the intestine of  
post-larvae shrimps of the same species and promote a significant reduction of pathogens, with  
great effectiveness in reducing the pathogenic bacteria V. parahaemolyticus and V.  
alginolyticus in shrimps grown in the laboratory. Chumpol et al. (2019) also found the probiotic  
purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are safe for use in producing antivibration compounds  
against shrimp pathogenic vibrios. The probiotic PNSB, Rhodobacter sphaeroides (SS15,  
TKW17) and Afifella marina STW181, released antivibration compounds inhibiting various  
shrimp pathogenic Vibrio spp.  
4. Conclusion  
Fifty-nine bacterial isolates were isolated from 8 water samples of pond-shrimp at 3  
villages of Duyen Hai district, Tra Vinh province, Vietnam. Seven/59 isolates that had good  
resistance to Vibrio parahaemolyticus were selected to identify. The result showed that 6 strains  
belonged to Bacilli and one was Pseudomonas sp.  
Two strains Streptomyces sp. DH1n and Bacillus subtilis DH1m had the highest  
antibacterial activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, they have a great potential to local  
probiotic production in shrimp farming.
