Lactic acid bacteria represent a dynamic bacterial group in maize silage. Their establishement, variations and characterization have been studied by investigating 22 samples taken at different times during the ensilage process.

Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria represent a dynamic bacterial group in maize silage. Their establishement, variations and characterization have been studied by investigating 22 samples taken at different times during the ensilage process. After a preliminary screening based on physiological characteristics 100 of 229 strains isolates were chosen for further taxonomic investigation. Twenty-nine strains of Homofermentative lactobacilli were identified as L. plantarum, L. casei and L. coryniformis; 24 heterofermentative strains were allotted to L. buchneri, L. brevis, L. fermentum and Lc paramesenteroides; 22 coccal strains as E. faecium, S. lactis and S. bosis. A few strains remained unidentified.
