Potential and discussion of the known antibacterial enzymes in Obscure puffer (Takifugu obscurus)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: • Farming of obscure puffer ( Takifugu obscurus ) faces bacterial outbreaks. • Known antibacterial proteins involved against bacterial infection in obscure puffer are discussed. • This review will act as a base to better understand the immune factors of the obscure puffer. Bacterial diseases in aquaculture seriously affect fish health and cause economic loss. These bacterial diseases have been focused to overcome it and solve its resultant problems through various approaches. The safer and environmentally friendly approach being considered is understanding the host fish immune factors. Certainly, the farming of obscure puffer ( Takifugu obscurus ) faces bacterial outbreak and thus work is underway to discover its potential immune factors against bacterial infections. This review discusses all the antibacterial proteins that have been discovered yet and are thought to be involved against bacterial infection in obscure puffer. This inclusive single document of background and pioneer knowledge may act as a base for further ways to understand and explore the immune factors of the economically important obscure puffer and other fish in general. Bacterial disease in fish need prevention, host immune factors being signified in this regard and thus all the discovered antibacterial factors in obscure puffer has been listed.
