Effects of Isolated LAB on Chemical Composition, Fermentation Quality and Bacterial Community of Stipa grandis Silage.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to screen and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from the Stipa grandis and naturally fermented silage, and assess their effects on the silage quality and bacterial community of Stipa grandis after 60 days of the fermentation process. A total of 38 LAB were isolated, and strains ZX301 and YX34 were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus using 16S rRNA sequences; they can normally grow at 10−30 °C, with a tolerance of pH and NaCl from 3.5 to 8.0 and 3 to 6.5%, respectively. Subsequently, the two isolated LAB and one commercial additive (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) were added to Stipa grandis for ensiling for 60 days and recorded as the ZX301, YX34, and P treatments. The addition of LAB was added at 1 × 105 colony-forming unit/g o
