Filamentous fungi have potential as an alternative protein source for use in aquafeeds due to their high content and bioactive components. Paecilomyces variotii (PEKILO® mycoprotein) is a β-glucan- nucleotide-rich filamentous with crude (CP) of 60–70%. A 9-week feeding trial was conducted evaluate the effects P. diets Atlantic salmon (initial average body weight 24 g fish−1) reared freshwater. Four experimental were formulated. Diet 1 control diet based on fish meal, soy concentrate, wheat...

Abstract Background Yeasts are gaining attention as alternative ingredients in aquafeeds. However, the impact of yeast inclusion on modulation intestinal microbiota fish fed plant-based is limited. Thus, present study investigates effects and processing composition, diversity predicted metabolic capacity gut Atlantic salmon smolt soybean meal (SBM)-based diet. Two yeasts, Cyberlindnera jadinii (CJ) Wickerhamomyces anomalus (WA), were produced in-house processed by direct heat-inactivation...

Paecilomyces variotii (a filamentous fungus), is a promising novel protein source in fish feeds due to its high nutritional value. Also, P. has Microbial-Associated Molecular Patterns (MAMPs) such as glucans and nucleic acids that could modulate the host's immune response. To understand potential bioactive properties of this fungus Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), our study was conducted evaluate gene expression immune-related biomarkers (e.g., cytokines, effector molecules receptors) on...

The objective of the current study was to examine effects yeasts on intestinal health and transcriptomic profiles from distal intestine spleen tissue Atlantic salmon fed SBM-based diets in seawater. Cyberlindnera jadinii (CJ) Wickerhamomyces anomalus (WA) were heat-inactivated with spray-drying (ICJ IWA) or autolyzed at 50 °C for 16 h (ACJ AWA), followed by spray-drying. Six formulated, one based fishmeal (FM), a challenging diet 30% soybean meal (SBM) four other containing SBM 10% each...
