TY - JOUR AU - Shao, T. AB - fermentation quality, identification, isolates, Aim: To isolate, screen and identify the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from lactic acid bacteria, sweet sorghum. elephant silage during the process of the fermentation and their effects on the Correspondence fermentation quality of sweet sorghum silage. Tao Shao, Institute of Ensiling and Processing Methods and Results: The isolated strains were identified based on of Grass, Nanjing Agricultural University, morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics as well as 16S Weigang 1, Nanjing 210095, China. rRNA analysis. Seven LAB strains were isolated from elephant grass silage. E-mail: taoshaolan@163.com Three strains (Pediococcus acidilactici (AZZ1), Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum (AZZ4), L. plantarum subsp. argentoratensis (AZZ7) and one 2018/1273: received 30 June 2018, revised commercial bacteria L. plantarum, ecosyl MTD/1(CB)) were chosen as 18 September 2018 and accepted 23 September 2018 additives at 6 log colony forming units per gram of fresh sweet sorghum grass in laboratory silos (680 g). Silos for each treatment were opened after 5, 7, 14, doi:10.1111/jam.14123 30 and 60 days, respectively. All isolates were characterized as Gram-positive, catalase-negative and grow normally in 65% NaCl. The strains AZZ1, AZZ2 and AZZ5, were identified as Pediococcus genus while AZZ3, AZZ4, AZZ6 and AZZ7 were Lactobacillus genus.
