Summary

Illustrated by the selection of lactic acid bacteria to be used as biological ensilage agents, new methods are introduced; they are practicable in microtitre plate dimensions by means of an automatic analysing system. According to the test setting, statements can be made on the acidifiability, the inhibition effect on contaminants and the growth under different milieu conditions. Of 126 strains tested 20 satisfied screening criteria.
