Impact on Water Quality of Aquarium after Adding Bacillus subtilis in Aquarium
Summary
This paper is not about microplastics. It studies the effect of adding the probiotic bacterium Bacillus subtilis to aquariums to improve water quality for ornamental fish. The research focuses on aquaculture water management and has no connection to microplastic pollution or related health concerns.
Aquarium are used for raising ornamental fishes or aquatic animals.People usually keep aquariums at their home for their own fun and interest.But the poor water quality of the aquarium can cause the death of fishes and shrimps.While probiotics or beneficial bacteria can improve the water quality of the aquarium.These beneficial bacteria can be supplied with a regular feed of the host animal or it can be added in pond or aquarium to improve water quality.Bacillus subtilis is a beneficial bacterium to overcome water pollution and it provides a healthy environment or surrounding to aquatic animal.Healthy environment for aquatic animal is non polluted and contaminated free water so it's better to use Bacillus subtilis rather than facing problems of polluted water.Probiotics, specifically Bacillus species, are more effective in converting organic matter to CO2, it is recommended to keep probiotic levels high in aquaculture production systems or ponds in order to lower the load of organic carbon, it is beneficial to improve water quality and fish health.

Polystyrene microplastics interaction and influence on the growth kinetics and metabolism of tilapia gut probiotic Bacillus tropicus ACS1
Polystyrene microplastics were found to alter the gut microbiome of tilapia, disrupting the growth kinetics and metabolism of probiotic bacteria, with potential implications for fish health and aquaculture productivity.
Water Quality Impact on Fish Behavior: A Review From an Aquaculture Perspective
This review examines how various water quality factors, including microplastic pollution, affect fish behavior in aquaculture settings. Microplastics and other pollutants can alter fish swimming patterns, feeding behavior, stress responses, and social interactions. Understanding these behavioral changes is important for both fish welfare and food production, since stressed or contaminated fish may be lower quality for human consumption.
Bacillus subtilis A4，a potential algicidal bacterium against Spirogyra
Researchers identified a Bacillus bacterium that kills Spirogyra algae, which causes problems in aquaculture environments. While not related to microplastics, the research is relevant to aquaculture health management in systems where plastic contamination is an additional stressor on farmed fish.
Biofloc Technology in Fish Aquaculture: A Review
This review examines biofloc technology, a method of fish farming that uses beneficial microbial communities to improve water quality and fish health. While not directly about microplastics, the technology is relevant because it could reduce the environmental footprint of aquaculture and potentially limit fish exposure to waterborne contaminants. Healthier aquaculture practices may help produce safer fish for human consumption in an era of increasing water pollution.
Multi-Species Probiotics as Sustainable Strategy to Alleviate Polyamide Microplastic-Induced Stress in Nile Tilapia
Researchers tested whether multi-species probiotics could counteract the toxic effects of polyamide microplastics in Nile tilapia over a six-week experiment. The study found that probiotic supplementation alleviated microplastic-induced stress by improving growth performance, immune response, and physiological health markers, suggesting that probiotics may be a sustainable strategy for protecting farmed fish from microplastic contamination.
