FIG. 1.

Growth curve of P. anomala strains in mixed culture with K. lactis strains in a maize silage fermentation model system. The shaded area indicates anaerobic conditions, and the blank area indicates aerobic conditions. (A) Target strain P. anomala AHU 3936 (○, ●), AHU 3937 (▵, ▴), and AHU3938 (□, ■). Open symbols refer to the single-yeast culture, and closed symbols refer to mixed cultures of killer yeast, PCK27, and the target strain. (B) Mixed culture with K. lactis m8 (▴), with K. lactis IFO1267 (○), with K. lactis PCK27 (●), and without K. lactis (▵).
