Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The majority of Aeromonas strains are opportunistic pathogens for both humans and animals, causing a variety of diseases and posing a considerable risk to their health. In the current study, triploid cyprinid fish (TCF) were infected with a novel pathogenic Aeromonas sp. AS1-4 for pathological analysis. TCFs receiving Aeromonas sp. AS1-4 challenge exhibited oxidative damage in the liver and spleen, along with significant changes in immune-related gene expressions. Metabolomics assay indicated that strain AS1-4 challenge may exhibit a significant impact on metabolic processes of amino acids, with methylsuccinic acid (MSA) identified as vital biomarker. Following that, three potential probiotics designated Enterobacter strains fkY27-2, fkY84-1 and fkY84-4 were isolated from the intestine of TCFs, displaying excellent safety characteristics. In addition, intestinal Enterobacter strains exhibited multiple probiotic traits, including high degrees of hydrophobic activity, aggregation performance, biofilm-forming activity (BFA) and nutrient decomposing ability. Moreover, these probiotic isolates markedly coaggregated with Aeromonas sp. AS1-4 and Edwardsiella tarda 1l-4 and then suppressed their pathogenic biofilm-forming abilities, along with possessing robust antioxidant potential against various free radicals. These findings may provide valuable insights into metabolic response in fish post infection and health management in aquaculture. Full article
