Inoculation of Bv-116 and its bio-organic fertilizer serve as an environmental friendly biocontrol strategy against cucumber wilt.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Bv-116 and its bio-organic fertilizer on the control of cucumber wilt caused by f. sp. (FOC), the promotion of growth of cucumber seedlings, and the soil microbial community.

Dynamics of the Fermentation Products, Residual Non-structural Carbohydrates, and Bacterial Communities of Wilted and Non-wilted Alfalfa Silage With and Without Inoculation.

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of wilting and inoculation on the dynamics of the fermentation products, residual non-structural carbohydrates, and bacterial communities in alfalfa silage. Fresh and wilted alfalfa were ensiled with and without for 10, 30, 60, and 90 days. A high-throughput sequencing method for absolute quantification of 16S rRNA was adopted to determine the bacterial community composition at different ensiling periods.

Dynamics of Fermentation Parameters and Bacterial Community in High-Moisture Alfalfa Silage with or without Lactic Acid Bacteria.

The aim of this study was to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of fermentation parameters and the bacterial community during the ensiling of high-moisture alfalfa. A commercial lactic acid bacteria (YX) inoculant was used as an additive. After 15 and 30 days of ensiling, the control silage (CK) exhibited a high pH and a high concentration of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH-N); and were the dominant genera.

Assessment of Bacterial Community Composition and Dynamics in Alfalfa Silages With and Without Inoculation Using Absolute Quantification 16S rRNA Sequencing.

Relative quantification 16S-seq (RQS) has drawn deeper insights into bacterial community compositions in silage. However, it provides no information on dynamics of the total amount of bacterial DNA through the ensiling process and across different treatments. In this study, bacterial compositions in alfalfa silage with and without inoculation after 10 and 60days of ensiling were investigated using absolute quantification 16S-seq (AQS), and bacterial composition and its interaction with fermentation properties of silage indicated by AQS and RQS were compared.
