background and objectives: ensiling is a conservation method for forage crops. it is based on the fact that anaerobe lactic acid bacteria (lab) convert water-soluble carbohydrates into organic acids. therefore, ph decreases and the forage is preserved. the aim of this study was to isolate special kinds of lactic acid bacteria from silage and to study the effect of bacteria, inulin and enzymes a...

Primary powders of Bacillus sphaericus strain S2 isolated from soil samples in Brazil, and strain 2362 were produced in a 14 liter fermentor. Growth patterns and sporulation observed in three trials with strains S2 and 2362 in the fermentor were similar. Second-instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles albimanus, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, and Aedes aegypti exposed for 48 hr to strain ...

For petential applicfttion in the ecenomic productien of bacterial cellu)ose, cellulose-producing Acetobacter strains capable of using suerose as a carbon source were screened for using corn steep liquor as a nitrogen source. A total of ISOe strains were iso]ated and four were selected through $tatic and shaking fiask eultuves, Much higher cellulose accumulatieii was obseryed im a jar fermentor...
