Abstract:

To clarify composition of fungi species in mildewed feed corn and explore antifungal effect of lactobacillin on mildewed fungi and the effect of delaying feed corn mildewing, in this study, mildew fungi were isolated from mildewed feeding corn by using traditional fungi culture method, and the taxonomic status of culturable fungi in mildewed feed corn was determined by sequencing of ITS amplicons. The inhibitory effect of lactobacillin on mildew fungi was evaluated using the Oxford Cup method, and crude lactobacillin with different proportions (10%, 20%, 30%) were set to explore mildew cycle and mildew degree of lactobacillin on delayed feeding corn mildew (caking, mildew spot, mildew taste, and mildew number were taken as observation indices). The results showed that diversity of fungi species in mildewed feeding corn was high, and five genera of fungus (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Fusarium and Geotrichum) belonging to three phyla were screened. Lactobacillin had a good inhibitory effects on mildew fungi of various genera in mildewed feed corn, it had the best antifungal activity against Penicillium crustosum, the diameter of the inhibition circle could reach (16.54 ± 0.23) mm. The antifungal activity against Geotrichum candidum was the worst, only with the diameter of inhibition zone of (9.26±0.16) mm, but their diameter of inhibition zones were significantly (P <0.05) higher than that of the control group. Different proportions of lactobacillin crude extract were added to feeding corn, there was no obvious mildew phenomen within 10 days, and there was obvious difference in the degree of mildew between the treatment groups and the control group on the 30th day. In addition, with the increasing of proportion of added lactobacillin, the mildewing degree of feed corn gradually decreased, and the fungi colonies were only (9.28±0.59) × 107 CFU·g-1 in the treatment group with 30% addition proportion. In conclusion, there were rich species of fungi in moldy feed corn, and there were a variety of toxin-producing molds; Lactobacillin could effectively inhibit mildew fungi, slow down the cycle and degree of mildew in feed corn.
