Rhodotorula and Phaffia: pigment producing basidiomycetous yeasts for application in aquaculture practices
摘要
Worldwide, aquaculture is among the fastest-growing food-producing sectors. To boost the health and growth of aquaculture organisms, microbial supplements are utilized. In particular, yeasts with desirable amino acid and lipid profiles are appealing options for inclusion in aquaculture feed. Besides Ascomycetous yeasts (mainly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Debaryomyces hansenii, and Yarrowia lipolytica), two Basidiomycetous genera— Please consider reducing length of dashRhodotorula and Phaffia and their derived products (β-glucans, mannan oligosaccharides, and pigments) are used in the industry. They function as probiotics, feed additives, nutritional supplements, growth promoters, pigment enhancers, immunomodulators, immunostimulants, pathogen protectants, and stress relievers. They also enhance digestion, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant capacities, meat quality, overall yields, and market value of aquaculture species. Since large quantities of yeast biomass can be produced by cultivating on inexpensive substrates, incorporating them into aquaculture feed offers a sustainable way to meet nutritional needs, increase productivity, and promote the overall health of aquaculture species.
