Abstract<br />

The stimu<strong>la</strong>tory effect of the red microalga Porphyridium cru<strong>en</strong>tum on<br />

respiratory burst activity of sole phagocytes was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Sole<br />

phagocytes incubated in vitro with aqueous and ethanolic extracts (10, 5, 2 and 1 mg ml -<br />

1 ) iso<strong>la</strong>ted from P. cru<strong>en</strong>tum did not show increased superoxi<strong>de</strong> anion production. By<br />

contrast, incubation of phagocytes with β-glucan from Eugl<strong>en</strong>a gracilis (10 mg ml -1 )<br />

increased respiratory burst activity. However, oral administration of a diet supplem<strong>en</strong>ted<br />

with lyophilized P. cru<strong>en</strong>tum cells (10 g kg -1 ) stimu<strong>la</strong>ted respiratory burst activity after<br />

4 weeks feeding only in sole vaccinated with Photobacterium damse<strong>la</strong>e subsp. piscicida<br />

bacterin. Results obtained are discussed in terms of the usefulness of the administration<br />

route of immunostimu<strong>la</strong>nt and synergistic effect with a vaccine.<br />
