Pichia anomala enhances the growth and lactic acid production of Leuconostoc citreum: Synergistic improvement for sweet sorghum silage quality

Key Points

• Pichia anomala enhances lactic acid production and growth in Leuconostoc citreum, improving silage quality.
• Lactic acid production increased significantly by nearly 30% with co-fermentation of Pichia anomala.
• Analysis involved co-culturing two microbial strains to assess their symbiotic effects on fermentation.
• This supports the potential for better silage production in agricultural contexts, highlighting collaboration in microorganisms.
