Microbial Propionic Acid Production (2017, background): “This focus on the DHAP pathway is due to a lack of biochemical evidence to support the existence of the lactate pathway [39] which has been postulated to exist in just a single source [40].”
Silage review: Factors affecting dry matter and quality losses in silages. (2018, methodology): “This microorganism can anaerobically degrade 1 mol of lactate without an electron acceptor to a half mole of acetate, a half mole of 1,2-propanediol, and a half mole of carbon dioxide (Oude Elferink et al., 2001), resulting in approximately 1% DM loss compared with untreated silage based on a survey”
EFFECTS OF CORN SILAGE INOCULANTS ON AEROBIC STABILITY (2002, background): “At least in part, this may be due to the conversion of lactic to acetic acid by L. buchneri (Oude Elferink et al., 2001), considering that acetic acid is a better inhibitor of yeasts than lactic acid (Moon, 1983).”
Effects of combining Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 with various lactic acid bacteria on the fermentation and aerobic stability of corn silage (2010, background): “In contrast, addition of Lactobacillus buchneri (a heterolactic acid bacterium) to silage improves aerobic stability via anaerobic production of acetic acid (Oude Elferink et al., 2001).”
Production of organic acids by Lactobacillus strains in three different media (2009, background): “the degradation product of the produced lactic acid [ 35 ], the result of the citrate metabolism [36] and/or it originates from the heterofermentative pathway [32].”
