Clarifying mechanisms underlying the selective adhesion of probiotics and competitive exclusion of pathogens in the intestine is a central theme for shrimp health. Under experimental manipulation of probiotic strain (i.e., Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HC-2) adhesion to the shrimp mucus, this study...
