Silage samples representing approximately 10% of Vermont's dairy farms were tested for the presence of Listeria species. Listeria innocua was isolated from 15.3% of the silage samples, while Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from 2.9% of the examined samples. As silage pH increased, the incidence of Listeria increased concomitantly. Seventy-eight mesophilic lactic acid bacteria, indigenous to silage, were screened for specific and nonspecific antagonism against four L. monocytogenes indicator strains. Most of the silage isolates demonstrated nonspecific inhibition via lactic acid production against the L. monocytogenes indicator strains. None of the indigenous silage isolates tested in this survey demonstrated specific antagonism via production of bacteriocinogenic compounds.

ABSTRACT Yeast strains expressing heterologous l-lactate dehydrogenases can produce lactic acid. Although these microorganisms are tolerant of acidic environments, it is known that at low pH, lactic acid exerts a high level of stress on the cells. In the present study we analyzed intracellular pH (pHi) and viability by staining with cSNARF-4F and ethidium bromide, respectively, of two lactic-acid-producing strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, CEN.PK m850 and CEN.PK RWB876. The results showed that the strain producing more lactic acid, CEN.PK m850, has a higher pHi. During batch culture, we observed in both strains a reduction of the mean pHi and the appearance of a subpopulation of cells with low pHi. Simultaneous analysis of pHi and viability proved that the cells with low pHi were dead. Based on the observation that the better lactic-acid-producing strain had a higher pHi and that the cells with low pHi were dead, we hypothesized that we might find better lactic acid producers by screening for cells within the highest pHi range. The screening was performed on UV-mutagenized populations through three consecutive rounds of cell sorting in which only the viable cells within the highest pHi range were selected. The results showed that lactic acid production was significantly improved in the majority of the mutants obtained compared to the parental strains. The best lactic-acid-producing strain was identified within the screening of CEN.PK m850 mutants.

Lactic acid production using Lactobacillus casei and Streptococcus thermophilus individually or as mixed culture on distiller’s grain in open fermentation conditions was evaluated. Lactic acid production and residual sugar were the main features examined. Increased lactic acid production was observed, when mixed cultures were used in comparison to individual ones. This revealed possible synergistic effects between the two lactic acid bacteria.

Four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains named HN78, HN87, HN91 and HN113 were separated fromStylosanthes guianensis SW. of Hainan province, which were identified bacterially using the classical classification and the sequences of 16S rDNA. The results showed that four strains wereEnterococcus hirae,Enterococcus faecalis,Lactococcus lactisandLactobacillus plantarum. The capability of lactic acid production of HN113 and HN91 were better than HN78 and HN87.
