[ Method] The lactic acid bacterium strains were isolated by inoculation on MRS solid medium containing calcium carbonate, and they were preliminarily identified through morphological, physiological and biochemical experiments. The acid production efficiency was determined. Twelve strains having strong acid-pro- duction ability were selected, and their salt tolerance and acid tolerance were detected. The sequences of their 16 S rDNA were also analyzed. [ Result] A total of 44 lactic acid bacterium strains were isolated from the forage com. As evidenced by the physiological and biochemical experi- ments, the twelve strains having strong acid-production ability belonged to Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus, respectively, and they had strong salt tolerance and acid tolerance. According to the sequences of 16 S rDNA, A4, B9, B11, B12 and B14 were Lactobacillus plantarum; A1, A2., A7, A11 and B8 were Leuconostoc mesenteroides dextran subspecies; and AB and A9 were Enterococcus hirae. [ Conclusion ] The lactic acid bacterium strains with strong acid-production ability isolated from forage corn can be developed into silage additives.展开更多

Both methods clustered two groups, dependent on their biotype characterization of Pectobacterium carotovora subsp. carotovora (P.c.c) and Pectobacterium chrysanthemi (P.ch), respectively. Of all isolates, 17 (73.9%) belonged to P. ch, indicated as the main pathogenic bacteria of konjac producing areas in China. The genetic variation among isolates from the same biotype was also rich, not consistent with the distances of the geographic sources.展开更多

Then, antagonistic actinomycetes against U. scitaminea were screened by confrontation culture. Finally, the taxonomic status of antagonistic actinomycetes was determined using 16S rDNA.[Results] From the 22 samples, 984 actinomycetes strains were isolated. From all the isolated strains, 23 antagonistic actinomycetes strains were obtained through primary screening, and one strains with better antagonistic effect was then obtained through secondary screening, and designated FAS. 16S rDNA identification showed that strain FAS shared 99% sequence similarity with Streptomyces cealestis US24. A phylogenetic tree was built with MAGE 7.0 software, and the results showed that strain FAS had the shortest genetic distance with S. caelestis US24. Therefore, the actinomycetes FAS was determined as S. caelestis .[Conclusions] This study provides a new biocontrol method for the biological control of sugarcane smut, thereby ensuring sustainable development of sugarcane industry and sugar industry.展开更多

After preliminary screening with Congo red identification medium and filter paper strip medium, five strains with large transparent circles that disintegrated filter paper strips were obtained. After further liquid fermentation, CMC activity, FPA activity and natural eellulase activity of these five strains were determined, and two cellulose-decomposing strains with higher enzyme activity were screened, which were named F7 and F21. Based on molecular biological identification and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, these two cellulose- decomposing strains were identified as Bacillus subtilis and Streptomyces sp. , respectively.展开更多
