Antibacterial activity of lactic acid bacteria included in inoculants for silage and in silages treated with these inoculants
Abstract
AIMS: To determine antibacterial activity in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) silage inoculants and in wheat and corn silages which were treated with these inoculants. METHODS AND RESULTS: Wheat and two corn silages were prepared in 0.25 l sealed glass jars. Inoculant treatments were prepared for each type of silage with each of 10 LAB silage inoculants at inoculation rate of 10(6) CFU g(-1). Untreated silages served as controls. Antibacterial activity was determined in the inoculants and in their respective silages with Micrococcus luteus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antibacterial activity was detected in nine of the 10 inoculants whereas such activity in the silages varied. Control silages did not have antibacterial activity. CONCLUSIONS: Many LAB silage inoculants have antibacterial activity and in some cases this activity is imparted on inoculated silages. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study was conducted as part of a broader research objective, which is to find out how LAB silage inoculants enhance ruminant performance. The results of this study indicate that LAB silage inoculants produce antibacterial activity, and therefore, have a potential to inhibit detrimental micro-organisms in the silage or in the rumen.

LAB can survive in the rumen and could affect rumen microbial biomass yield either directly through ruminal fermentation or by bacteriocins from the inoculant inhibiting undesirable bacteria.

pH-independent antibacterial activity was present in many lactic acid bacteria inoculants, but it was not transferred to some silages treated with those bacteria.
“Gollop et al. (2005) reported that antibacterial activity independent of pH was present in many lactic acid bacteria inoculants but that the antibacterial activity was not imparted to some of the silages treated with the bacteria.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
