Removal of Lead Pollutants in Cultivation Water Modified Using Marine Sponge Symbiont Bacteria to Improve Growth of Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
Summary
Researchers investigated the use of marine sponge symbiont bacteria, specifically Bacillus pumilus and Pseudomonas stutzeri, as bioremediation agents to remove lead pollutants from cultivation water used for tiger shrimp, finding improved water quality and daily growth over a 30-day maintenance period.
Brackish water is often contaminated with dangerous and toxic pollutants, such as heavy metals, microplastics, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Bioremediation methods using non-pathogenic bacteria can be applied to remove these pollutants. This research aims to eliminate lead pollutants in the cultivation media for tiger shirmp of the type Penaeus monodon (TSPM), while increasing daily growth. Engineering cultivation media with the addition of Bacillus pumilus (BP) and Pseudomonas stutzeri (PS) bioremediators to remove Pb2+ pollutants in TSPM media. The maintenance process lasts for 30 days. The effectiveness of the method is determined by measuring the physical and chemical properties, growth analysis, and survival rate of TSPM. The bioremediation performance of the bioremediator bacteria was determined using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer instrument. The research results showed that all physical and chemical parameters of the cultivation media analyzed met quality standards. The presence of BP and PS remediation bacteria did not have a negative effect on TSPM growth. The survival rate of TSPM was relatively higher than in conventional shrimp cultivation. The bioremediation performance of BP bacteria is superior to that of PS bacteria and a mixture of BP+PS bacteria in removing lead pollutants. This bioremediation method is suitable for application to other crustacean cultivation.

Bioremediation Performance of Marine Sponge Symbiont Bacteria against Nickel and Mercury Heavy Metal Pollutants
Researchers tested bacteria from marine sponges for their ability to remove heavy metal pollutants — specifically nickel and mercury — from water. The sponge-associated bacteria showed promising bioremediation activity, with removal efficiency varying by species and conditions. Marine symbiont bacteria could be developed as natural tools for cleaning up metal-contaminated water.
Effects of Dietary Gracilaria lichenoides and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on Growth Performance, Antioxidant Capacity, and Intestinal Health of Penaeus monodon
Scientists tested whether adding the seaweed Gracilaria lichenoides and the beneficial bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to shrimp feed could improve growth and health in black tiger shrimp. Researchers found that the combination improved growth performance, boosted antioxidant defenses, and enhanced intestinal health compared to standard feed. The study suggests these natural dietary supplements could support healthier, more sustainable shrimp farming practices.
Over-Produced Extracellular Polymeric Substances and Activated Antioxidant Enzymes Attribute to Resistance of Pb(II) for Algal–Bacterial Granular Sludge in Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Researchers studied how lead contamination affects algal-bacterial granular sludge used in wastewater treatment. They found that while moderate lead concentrations were tolerable, higher levels disrupted the symbiotic relationship between algae and bacteria, reducing nitrogen and phosphorus removal performance. The study reveals that the sludge resists lead toxicity by overproducing extracellular polymeric substances and activating antioxidant enzymes.
