Outline of Final Research Achievements

Evidence has shown that total mixed ration (TMR) silage can resist deterioration after silo opening. From culture-independent microbiota analysis of practical TMR silage, several difficult-to-culture lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus pontis, Lactobacillus fructivorans, were suggested to be involved. We successfully isolated L. fructivorans using liver infusion sake medium, and then confirmed its inhibitory activity against aerobic spoilage.
