Hydrolysis tilapia by-product with 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 % of proteases. The results showed that there was positive correlation between protease concentration and hydrolysis rate, and the protease A group had highest degree of hydrolysis (DH). Hydrolysis tilapia by-product with protease A, the DH leveled off after 24 hours of hydrolysis. In addition, there was no significant difference in DH between 0.5 and 2.0 % of protease A. This hydrolysis method had 33.69 % of DH, 76.92 % of dry matter extraction and 83.16 % of crude protein extraction. EL, ST and PPP 3 strains of photosynthetic bacteria were cultured with fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) instead yeast extract. The results indicated that FPH was favorable for photosynthetic bacteria as a component of medium. The photosynthetic bacteria reached stationary phase within 2 - 4 days, and the optical density were above 2.0, which can be applied on practical aquaculture. EL, ST and PPP 3 strains of photosynthetic bacteria were isolated from - 1 - 1082442 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. aquaculture ponds. The morphological and biochemical characteristic of these strains were rod shape, gram negative and had flagellar motility. Only PPP had ability of aerobic growth in dark, and only ST did not have catalase. According to the result of polymerase chain reaction, all 3 strains had pufM photosynthetic reaction center gene, which confirm that they were classified to purple phototrophic bacteria. The results of full wavelength showed characteristic absorption peaks at 805 and 865 nm for bacteriochlorophyll a in all 3 strains. Total carotenoid contents were EL, ST and PPP from high to low, and there was significant difference between each strain. 16S rRNA sequencing indicated EL and ST had highest similarity to Rhodopseudomonas palustris; PPP had highest similarity to Rhodobacter blasticus. Based on the results of biochemical characteristic and 16S rRNA sequencing, EL and ST were identified as Rhodopseudomonas palustris; PPP was identified as Rhodobacter blasticus. Moreover, we conclude that EL and ST were different strains because they have different characters on colony morphology, catalase, carbon source utilities and total carotenoid contents. Using different concentrations of EL, ST and PPP strains to culture rotifer, the optimal concentration was 108 CFU/ml. The EL strain had highest efficiency to rotifer culture. Fed rotifer with 108 CFU/ml of EL, the density increased to 352 individuals/ml at 5th day from initial density of 50 inds./ml.
