[0002] In taxonomy, *Bacillus laterosporus* belongs to the kingdom Fungi, phylum Firmicutes, family Bacillusaceae, genus *Bacillus*, and species *Bacillus laterosporus*. It is a Gram-positive bacterium that can produce various extracellular antibacterial substances such as chitinase and bacitracin.

[0003] Currently, Bacillus laterosporus is widely used in agricultural biocontrol, such as for the control of plant pathogens like Phytophthora, Rhizoctonia solani, tobacco mosaic virus, and tomato yellow leaf curl virus. It also shows promise as a biological pesticide for controlling agricultural pests. However, its application in aquaculture is relatively limited, and there are no reports on its use in controlling pathogens in aquatic animals.

[0056] Example 2: Pond Experiment for the Control of Microsporidia

[0057] In the small-scale greenhouse culture of Litopenaeus vannamei, the concentration of Enterocytozoa hepatica carried by the shrimp was 7.6 × 10⁻⁶, as detected by quantitative real-time PCR. 6 ( Figure 7 Using shrimp as the research object, the experiment was conducted in a plastic bucket equipped with an oxygenation device, divided into 2 groups, with 6 replicates in each group and 20 shrimp in each replicate. 1% of the fermentation broth of Bacillus lateralis prepared in Example 1 GBW-M0 was mixed into the feed. After feeding for 7 days, 1 shrimp was taken from each replicate, and the concentration of Enterocytozoa hepatis carried by the shrimp in the two treatment groups was detected again by real-time quantitative PCR.

[0058] result( Figure 8 This indicates that the concentration in the control group remained at 10. 6 At the level of GBW-M0 fermentation broth, the concentration of Enterocytozoa in shrimp liver cells decreased to approximately 5.7 × 10⁻⁶. 4 level( Figure 9 ).

[0059] Example 3: Indoor evaluation test of the algae-inhibiting effect of Bacillus laterosporus

[0060] 1. Solid double-layer plate method

[0061] Culture methods for bacterial strains: Five bacterial strains were selected for the experiment, including Bacillus laterosporus GBW-M0, Bacillus licheniformis NB2, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens J4, Bacillus belye J5, and Bacillus subtilis YES1. Single colonies were picked from NA plates and transferred to LB tubes. The culture was carried out at 37°C and 200 rpm for 16 h with shaking. The culture was then inoculated at 2% into 10 mL LB medium tubes and cultured at 37°C and 200 rpm for 24 h with shaking. The culture was then stored in the refrigerator for later use.

[0062] Algae inhibition test: Prepare BG11 solid culture medium plates, dry them in a clean bench for 40-50 min, place sterile Oxford cups on the surface of the culture medium, mix Microcystis aeruginosa algal solution with semi-solid BG11 culture medium (cooled to about 40℃) at a volume ratio of 8:24, slowly pour the mixture onto the surface of the solid culture medium, and gently shake to cover the surface. After the upper layer solidifies, take 100 μL of the culture medium of the 5 strains in the previous step and add it to the corresponding Oxford cups, 2 Oxford cups for each strain, and set up LB medium as a control group. Incubate at room temperature under natural light and observe the algae inhibition zone.

[0063] result( Figure 10 The results show that the *Bacillus laterosporus* GBW-M0 culture medium exhibits a large algae inhibition zone, indicating a significant inhibitory effect on *Microcystis aeruginosa*. In contrast, strain YES1 in the figure shows abundant mold growth around it, suggesting the algae inhibition zone was generated by the mold, not by the effect of YES1 itself.

[0064] 2. Liquid co-culture method

[0065] The Microcystis aeruginosa cultured in BG11 was diluted 6 times with sterile pure water, and 10 mL was placed in a sterile glass test tube. 10 μL of Bacillus retroflexus GBW-M0 fermentation broth from Example 1 was added and mixed thoroughly. After culturing for 4 days under conditions of 12 h light at 30°C and 12 h darkness at 26°C, the growth of the algae in different treatment groups was observed. Figure 11 It was found that algal solutions with different cell densities became clear or yellow after treatment with GBW-M0 fermentation broth, while the control group, which received no treatment, showed a deeper green color or no obvious changes visible to the naked eye. The inhibition rate of GBW-M0 fermentation broth on *Microcystis aeruginosa* was calculated after statistical analysis of algal cell density. This experiment tracked the inhibition rate of the GBW-M0 fermentation broth prepared in Example 1 on algal solutions with different cell densities at different growth stages during the continuous growth of *Microcystis aeruginosa*. Figure 12 ).

[0066] Results showed that, according to laboratory methods, 0.1% of the *Bacillus laterosporus* GBW-M0 fermentation broth was effective against strains below 1×10⁻⁶. 7 The inhibition rate of Microcystis aeruginosa cells / mL can reach over 90%. However, the inhibition rate decreases with increasing algal cell density. For 3.5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL, the inhibition rate is lower.7 An algal solution with cells / mL can achieve an inhibition rate of 25%.

[0067] Example 4: Pond Blue-green Algae Control Experiment

[0068] In crab farming ponds in Jiangsu Province, with a water depth of 50cm and a water temperature of about 30℃ in July, cyanobacteria proliferate in large quantities, turning the water a dark green color. The fermentation liquid of Bacillus retroflexus GBW-M0 prepared in Example 1 was applied to the crab ponds at a rate of 1~2 mu / L, and the changes in pond water color and cyanobacteria cell density were monitored.

[0069] result( Figure 13 The results showed that after 30 hours of using Bacillus lateralis GBW-M0 fermentation broth, the water color became lighter and the density of cyanobacterial cells decreased.

[0070] The above results indicate that adding the GBW-M0 fermentation broth of Bacillus laterosporus prepared in this invention to the feed of Litopenaeus vannamei can reduce the number of microsporidia in the shrimp; and spraying the GBW-M0 fermentation broth of Bacillus laterosporus prepared in this invention into crab farming ponds can reduce the density of cyanobacteria in the water and improve the success rate of aquaculture.
