Abstract :
Among bacteria, lactic acid bacteria are the most common type of bacteria that
have been introduced as probiotics. These bacteria are effective in treating rotavirus
diarrhea, reducing blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, preventing colon and
small bowel cancer, liver, intestinal inflammation, infections, acute diarrhea, and
the growth and proliferation of harmful bacteria, as well as causes to strengthen the
immune system, help digestion and absorption of minerals and vitamins. In this
research, samples were taken from 60 Oscar fish. To achieve this goal, lactic acid
bacteria were duplicated by specific primer pairs, 16s rDNA gene of Lactobacillus
acidophilus bacteria using PCR; and Lactobacillus acidophilus was identified using
a specific band, and its antagonistic effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa was
investigated by disk diffusion methods, so that halo diameter equal to 1.4mm was
observed at a dose of 50 μl. Then the MIC and MBC of each metabolite were
determined. It was found that increasing the dose of Metabolite Lactobacillus
acidophilus increases the effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
