Silage is a sort of conserved fodder obtained through the fermentation of forage by lactic bacteria, which convert the soluble carbohydrates in lactic acid. This acid is responsible for reducing the pH of the ensiled mass, inhibiting the growth of deteriorating and pathogenic microorganisms, with no interference in the nutritional features of the ensiled culture. In addition to the lactic acid, the lactic bacteria may produce other antimicrobial compounds, such as the bacteriocins. In the present study, it was isolated 256 cultures of lactic bacteria from Estilosantes Campo Grande, in varied periods of fermentation. Among the 256 isolates obtained, 83% (214) displayed antagonist activity against the indicator microorganism. Among these, only 10% were capable of growing in basal medium. An analysis of the genetic diversity of 20 isolates was done by BOX-PCR. Eight isolates of lactic bacteria which presented high antagonist activity and elevated growth rate were selected and their fermenting profile in 49 carbohydrates sources allowed the identification of theses isolates, such as Pediococcus pentosaceus, Pediococcus acidilactici e Lactobacillus plantarum. The analysis of the 16S rDNA showed the same identification. The crude extract of the antimicrobial substance similar to bacteriocin (Blis) of three isolates inhibited the growth of the indicator microorganism, and the antagonist activity was also observed after pH neutralization (pH 7,0) with NaOH. The antagonist activity of the Blis crude extract was lost after the treatment with proteolytic enzymes. These three lactic acid bacteria isolates presented a broad spectrum of antagonist activity, inhibiting several species of different microorganisms. The antimicrobial feature of these isolates observed in this in this work, associated with other growth and fermentation physiological parameters shows that the lactic bacteria cultures isolated in silage from Estilosantes Campo Grande are potential candidates to be evaluated as inoculants in legume silage.
