Effect of endophytic <scp><i>Bacillus megaterium</i></scp> colonization on structure strengthening, microbial community, chemical composition and stabilization properties of Hybrid Pennisetum

Abstract

It is concluded that the endophytic bacteria strain BM 18-2 significantly promoted growth characteristics and biomass yield before ensiling and after ensiling inoculated with or without Lactobacillus plantarum could improve the distinct changes of the undesirable microbial diversity, chemical composition, and stabilization properties in with BM 18-2 as compared to without BM 18-2 colonized Hybrid Pennisetum. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
