Dietary Lactobacillus plantarum ST-III alleviates the toxic effects of triclosan on zebrafish (Danio rerio) via gut microbiota modulation

Publication date: January 2019Source: Fish & Shellfish Immunology, Volume 84Author(s): Luxiu Zang, Yan Ma, Wenhao Huang, Yuhang Ling, Limei Sun, Xuedong Wang, Aibing Zeng, Randy A. Dahlgren, Caihong Wang, Huili WangAbstractThe probiotics, Lactobacillus plantarum ST-III, plays an important role in modulating microbiota and alleviating intestinal metabolic disorders. Herein, we reported that Lactobacillus increases biodiversity of zebrafish gut flora, and attenuates toxic effects from chronic triclosan (TCS) exposure. Lactobacillus-feeding recovered the species and amount of microorganisms in the intestines of zebrafish, and inhibited toxin production by saprophytic bacterial growth. Abnormal physiological indexes and malonaldeyhde content resulting from TCS exposure were effectively allevia...
