Value-added food: Single cell protein

Digestion of food depends on three main factors: (i) the ingested food and the extent to which the food is susceptible to the effects of digestive enzymes, (ii) the activity of the digestive enzymes and (iii) the length of time the food is exposed to the action of the digestive enzymes. Each of these factors is affected by a multitude of secondary factors. The present review highlights the experimental results on the secondary factor, enzymatic activity and possible contribution of the fish gut microbiota in nutrition. It has been suggested that fish gut microbiota might have positive effects to the digestive processes of fish, and these studies have isolated and identified the enzyme-producing microbiota. In addition to Bacillus genera, Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter, Aeromonas, Flavobacterium, Photobacterium, Pseudomonas, Vibrio, Microbacterium, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, unidentified anaerobes and yeast are also suggested to be possible contributors. However, in contrast to endothermic animals, it is difficult to conclude the exact contribution of the gastrointestinal microbiota because of the complexity and variable ecology of the digestive tract of different fish species, the presence of stomach and pyloric caeca and the relative intestinal length. The present review will critically evaluate the results to establish whether or not intestinal microbiota do contribute to fish nutrition.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Ponekara, Kochi682041, Kerala, IndiaWe describe a case of bacteraemia caused by Weissella confusa in a 48-year-old male who wasoperated on for adenocarcinoma of the gastro-oesophageal junction and maintained on totalparenteral nutrition. Blood cultures were positive for a vancomycin-resistant streptococcus-likeorganism which was identified as W. confusa by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Case Report Weissella confusa: a rare cause of vancomycin- resistant Gram-positive bacteraemia

Botryomycosis is a chronic suppurative granulomatous disease of the skin viscera. It is known to mimic diseases such as actinomycosis and invasive carcinoma. Visceral botryomycosis is a rare entity compared with its cutaneous counterpart. It can be identified using staining techniques such as Gomori methenamine silver, periodic acid-Schiff Gram stain, histopathological examination, and aerobic culture of the lesion. Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon is a characteristic feature of this disease. It responds to prolonged treatment with beta-lactams and surgery .There have been very few case reports on visceral botryomycosis across the world. We report a case of pancreatic botryomycosis caused by viridans streptococci in a patient with chronic calcific pancreatitis who was presumptively diagnosed as having carcinoma of the head of the pancreas.

A process for nitrifying water in closed system hatcheries of penaeid and non penaeid prawn which comprises in a first step of treating water with an ammonia oxidizing consortia to convert the ammonium present in water of the hatchery system to NO2 and in a second step of nitrite oxidizing with a nitrite oxidizing consortia for converting NO2 into NO3.
