The coexistence of Lactiplantibacillus and Wickerhamomyces in sugarcane top silage drives potential pathogen suppression and aerobic stability through enhanced lactic acid and acetic acid production.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To identify the key coexisting bacteria and yeast in sugarcane top silage that determine fermentation quality and improve feed safety, we manipulated the epiphytic microbiota of sugarcane tops by selectively inhibiting yeasts (AF) or lactic acid bacteria (AB) before re-ensiling, using untreated (CK) and γ‑ray sterilized silages (NA) as controls. The results shows that high-yield production of lactic acid and acetic acid (p < 0.05), better aerobic stability, and high Lactiplantibacillus abundance (p < 0.05) can be achieved in both AF and CK groups. Particularly, compared to CK and NA groups, the re-establishment of Wickerhamomyces and its coexistence with the Lactiplantibacillus in AF group not only further promotes the accumulation of lactic acid and acetic acid (p < 0.05), but reduces the BugBase-predicted potentially pathogens abundance during ensiling. Notably, Wickerhamomyces is associate with lactic and acetic acid production and BugBase-predicted potentially pathogens abundance reduction in both AF and CK groups. Conversely, sole Wickerhamomyces presence in AB group, leads to ethanol accumulation (p < 0.05), decreased aerobic stability, and increased BugBase-predicted potentially pathogens abundance after aerobic exposure. Moreover, the γ-hemolytic and metabolically versatile strains Wickerhamomyces anomalus G32-15 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum G35, isolated from the well-preserved sugarcane top silage, increased the yield of lactic acid and acetic acid by co-fermenting orange peel, dragon fruit peel, and mango peel waste, respectively (p < 0.05). This study identified and isolated key coexisting microorganisms associated with improved fermentation quality and safety of sugarcane top silage, and provides an innovative strategy for developing microbial agents to regulate silage quality.
