Abstract

The following lactic acid bacteria were isolated from sugarcane tops silage:Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Pediococcus cerevisiae, Leuconostoc mesenteroides andStreptococcus lactis. The isolates were grown in a synthetic medium and the final pH, sugar uptake and the effect of adding CaCO3 and L1, L2 and L3 factors was observed. The importance of the buffering capacity of the ensiled material for the silage process with a view to the occurrence of lactic acid bacteria is discussed.
