摘要: 研制一种可提高中华鳖 (Pelodiscus sinensis) 免疫力的复方中草药,探究其对肠道微生物菌群的调节作用,以为中华鳖病害防治提供参考。将平均体质量为 (44.59±9.23) g的100只中华鳖分为两组,对照组投喂基础饲料,实验组投喂含2% (质量分数) 复方中草药的饲料,连续投喂42 d。结果显示,两组优势菌门相同,但其所占比例存在差异:实验组中华鳖肠道中软壁菌门、浮霉菌门和乳杆菌属 (Lactobacillus) 等有益菌群丰度分别是对照组的32、2.25和4.12倍。利用107 CFU·mL−1浓度的嗜水气单胞菌 (Aeromonas hydrophila) 攻毒,测定中华鳖血清内的溶菌酶 (LZM)、总超氧化物歧化酶 (T-SOD)、碱性磷酸酶 (AKP) 和酸性磷酸酶 (ACP) 的活性。结果显示,对照组和实验组的T-SOD、LZM、ACP及AKP活性均在第72小时达到峰值,且实验组中华鳖血清中的4种酶在正常状态下及攻毒后的活性几乎均显著高于对照组,除LZM在攻毒12 h后两组差异不显著外。研究表明,复方中草药可有效优化中华鳖肠道微生物菌群结构,具有一定的免疫增强效果,应用前景良好。Abstract: We developed a Chinese herbal compound to improve the immunity of Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) and invetigated its effect on the regulation of intestinal microflora, so as to provide references for its disease control. In this study, we divided 100 individuals of P. sinensis with an average body mass of (45.53±3.89) g into two groups. The control group (CG) was fed with a basal diet and the experimental group (CPG) was fed with a diet supplemented with 2% of compound herbs for 42 d. The results show that the dominant phylum was the same in both groups, but the proportion of each dominant bacterial phylum differed: the beneficial flora of Tenericutes, Planctomycetes and Lactobacillus in the intestine of the CPG group was 32, 2.25 and 4.12 times higher than that of the CG group, respectively. After being challenged by 107 CFU·mL−1 of Aeromonas hydrophila, the activity of lysozyme (LZM), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) in serum of P. sinensis were determined. The results show that the activities of T-SOD, LZM, ACP and AKP in the CG and CPG groups reached the peak values at 72nd hour, and activities of the four enzymes in the serum of CPG group were significantly higher than those in CG group under the normal conditions and after the challenge , except for LZM, which was not significantly different when the two groups were challenged for 12 h. In conclusion, this Chinese herbal compound can effectively optimize the intestinal microflora of P. sinensis and has certain immune enhancing effects, which shows a application prospect.
