Characterization and identification of Pediococcus species isolated from forage crops and their application for silage preparation
Article Abstract:
A study has confirmed that Pediococcus acidilactici lactic acid 3 and 35 are effective silage inoculants that these substances can be more effective in improving silage quality than Pediococcus pentosaceus under high temperature conditions. Experiments were conducted to isolate Pediococcus species from forage crops for characterization and application to silage preparation. These isolates revealed three different strains of the bacteria and used as additives to alfalfa and Italian ryegrass silage preparation at two temperatures, namely 25 deg and 48 deg Celcius.

Molecular analysis of the rolling-circle replicating plasmid pA1 of Lactobacillus plantarum A112
Article Abstract:
Homology between the smallest, cryptic plasmid, pA1, and pE194 was determined for Lactobacillus plantarum by plus-origin-specific-probes. Three putative reading frames capable of encoding proteins were identified by sequence analysis. In vitro transcription translation assays were used to characterize two of these proteins. The replication of pA1 by rolling-circle mode of replication was demonstrated.
