Characteristics of lactic acid bacteria, microbial community and fermentation dynamics of native grass silage prepared in Inner Mongolian Plateau by Meiling Hou, Meiling Hou, Zhijun Wang, Lin Sun, Yushan Jia, Shicong Wang, Yimin Cai

“…IntroductionTo prepare high-quality silage, we studied the chemical composition, silage fermentation, characterization, and identification of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) associated with the silage fermentation of native grass on the Inner Mongolian Plateau.MethodsLAB were isolated from fresh native grass and their silage, and silages were prepared using a small-scale fermentation system with 2–3 cm length in plastic bags.ResultsThe dominant species of native grasses used were Stipa baicalensis, Leymus chinensis, Cleistogenes squarrosa, Melissilus ruthenicus and Pulsatilla turczaninovii, which contained 47.83–59.43 % moisture, 55.12–67.74 % neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and 8.72–14.55 crude protein (CP), and these nutrients did not change greatly during ensiling. …”

Feeding up to 91% concentrate to Holstein and Jersey dairy cows: Effects on enteric methane emission, rumen fermentation and bacterial community, digestibility, production, and fee... by D.W. Olijhoek, A.L.F. Hellwing, S.J. Noel, P. Lund, M. Larsen, M.R. Weisbjerg, C.F. Børsting

“…In conclusion, Holstein dairy cows responded stronger to increased dietary concentrate level regarding methane mitigation, changes in rumen VFA profile, and effect on the rumen bacterial community structure than Jersey cows, whereas Jersey cows responded stronger with regard to rumination time and rumination chews (per kilogram of DMI and per kilogram of neutral detergent fiber intake) than Holstein cows. Thus, diets high in concentrates are a less effective methane mitigation strategy for Jersey than for Holstein.…”

Tripartite Symbiotic Digestion of Lignocellulose in the Digestive System of a Fungus-Growing Termite by Farhan Ahmad, Guiying Yang, Yaning Zhu, Michael Poulsen, Wuhan Li, Ting Yu, Jianchu Mo

“…This elaborate strategy of plant biomass digestion makes them ecologically successful dominant decomposers in (sub)tropical Old World ecosystems. We employed acid detergent fiber analysis, high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), and amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to examine which lignocellulose components were digested and which bacteria were abundant throughout the decomposition process. …”
