• Far Eastern trepang Apstychopus japonicus
• probiotics
• amylase
• chondroitin sulfatase
• chitinase
• alginate lyase

Data were obtained on species diversity of the digestive tract microflora of the Far Eastern trepang Apostychopus japonicus. The probiotic characteristics of microbial isolates were investigated related to their capacity for synthesis of digestive enzymes (amylase, chondroitin sulfatase, chitinase, and alginate lyase). The Pseudomonas stutzeri strain exhibiting high activity of all the investigated enzymes was found to be preferable among the potential probiotics used for cultivation of the Far Eastern trepang. Preparations based on mixed cultures of a Bacillus pumilus strain with high chondroitin sulfatase and chitinase activities with strains of B. coagulans and B. megaterium K13 with high activity of amylases and alginate lyases are also promising.
