Description
Summary:Highlights • Novel and innovative means of moult regulation in P. monodon with thioredoxin fused MIH I and antisera developed. • Report production of active thioredoxin-fused mature MIH I protein (mf-PmMIH I) of P. monodon for the first time in a bacterial system; and its use as antigen to raise polyclonal antiserum (anti-mf-PmMIH I). • Mf-PmMIH I significantly augmented moult cycle duration by 16.67 ± 1.03 days at D2 stage and 14.67 ± 1.03 at D3 stage in comparison to the controls (11.67 ± 1.03 days). • Anti-mf-PmMIH I significantly attenuated moult duration to 8.33 ± 0.82 days with tendency to shift from C-stage to D0 – stage.
