The presence of acetobacter sp. in ensiled forage crops and ensiled industrial byproducts
article
The presence of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) in whole crop maize silage, whole crop wheat silage, pressed sugar beet pulp silage, grass silage and brewer's grains silage was investigated. AAB could be isolatedfrom whole crop maize silage, whole crop wheat silage and pressed sugar beet pulp silage, but could not be detected in grass silage (> IOa sib's tested) or brewer's grains silage (5 silo's tested). Thirty AAB isolates were characterized to genus level. All isolates, i.e. 20 from whole crop maize silage, 5 from whole crop wheat silage and 5 from pressed sugar beet pulp silage, belonged to the genus Acetobacter. Two isolates from mai1.e silage werefurther characterized. Partial 165 rRNA analyses revealed that one isolate was closely related to Acetobacter aceti (98Vo sequence homology), the other ro Acetobacter pomorum (98Vo sequence homology), These results combinedwith the substrate utiltzation proJiles indicate thal these isolates prob'ably represent thus far undescribed species o/ Acetobacter.
