To investigate community synergy of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cleaner fermentation of oat silage, oat silages were prepared with or without (control) commercial LAB inoculants LI1 (containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lentilactobacillus buchneri, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, and Pediococcus acidilactici) and LI2 (containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lentilactobacillus buchneri). The microbial community, LAB synergy, and cleaner fermentation were analyzed at 1, 3, 6, 15, 35, and 90 days of ensiling. The LAB inoculant improved fermentation quality, with significantly (P < 0.05) lower pH, ammonia nitrogen content, and gas production and higher lactic acid and acetic acid contents than those of the control. Enterobacteriaceae was the main bacterial community in early stage of fermentation, which utilizes sugar to produce CO2 gas, causing dry matter (DM) and energy loss. As fermentation progressed, the microbial diversity decreased, and the microbial community shifted from Gram-negative to Gram-positive bacteria. The inoculation of multispecies LAB displayed community synergy; Pediococcus acidilactici formed a dominant community in the early stage of fermentation, which produced an acid and anaerobic environment for the subsequent growth of Lentilactobacillus and Lacticaseibacillus species, thus forming a LAB-dominated microbial community. The predicted functional profile indicated that the silage inoculated with LI1 enhanced the carbohydrate metabolism pathway but inhibited the amino acid metabolism pathway, which played a role in promoting faster lactic acid production, reducing the decomposition of protein to ammonia nitrogen, and improving the fermentation quality of silage. Therefore, oat silage can be processed to high-quality and cleaner fermented feed by using an LAB inoculant, and LI1 showed better efficiency than LI2. IMPORTANCE Oat natural silage is rich in Enterobacteriaceae, increasing gas production and fermentation loss. Lactic acid bacteria interact synergistically to form a dominant community during ensiling. Pediococci grow vigorously in the early stage of fermentation and create an anaerobic environment. Lactobacilli inhibit the harmful microorganisms and result in cleaner fermentation of oat silage.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009584 Nitrogen An element with the atomic symbol N, atomic number 7, and atomic weight [14.00643; 14.00728]. Nitrogen exists as a diatomic gas and makes up about 78% of the earth's atmosphere by volume. It is a constituent of proteins and nucleic acids and found in all living cells.
D004755 Enterobacteriaceae A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock. Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
D005285 Fermentation Anaerobic degradation of GLUCOSE or other organic nutrients to gain energy in the form of ATP. End products vary depending on organisms, substrates, and enzymatic pathways. Common fermentation products include ETHANOL and LACTIC ACID. Fermentations
