    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Kefir granules are a complex microbial consortia with numerous properties, among which their antifungal action has been reported. This study characterized the antifungal activity of water kefir granules and two microorganisms isolated from them, identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Geotrichum candidum, against aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus. Experiments were carried out in vitro and under minisilo conditions designed to simulate the aerobic phase of commercial corn storage. In dual culture plate assays, A. flavus was inhibited in close contact with both antagonists, and mycelial weakening with lower conidia production was observed. Cell-free supernatants of both antagonists inhibited conidial germination by 92% (G. candidum) and 65% (S. cerevisiae). Non-contact assays between A. flavus and antagonists indicated that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) also contributed to inhibition, reducing mycelial growth by 29.1% (G. candidum) and 37.9% (S. cerevisiae). In corn minisilo trials water kefir granules and both antagonists showed strong antifungal activity by day 4, with qPCR of A. flavus DNA and aflatoxin measurements indicating near complete inhibition. As mixed consortia, water-kefir granules inherently include lactic acid bacteria whose rapid acidification and diffusible metabolites complement antifungal compounds produced by other components of the consortia, supporting a multi-mechanistic mode of action. Given the compositional heterogeneity of kefir granules, strain-level identification and verification of safety and regulatory status for the intended use are essential prior to food or feed applications. The demonstrated antifungal efficacy of kefirderived microorganisms in mini-silos underscores their scale-up potential for postharvest protection of corn.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The capacity of microorganisms from water kefir (WK) to control Aspergillus flavus growth during the aerobic phase of ensiled sorghum grains was determined. Sorghum inoculated with A. flavus was treated with filter-sterilized and non-sterilized water kefir, ensiled, and incubated 7 days at 25 &deg;C. A. flavus growth was quantified by qPCR after incubation. Mold growth was inhibited in the presence of water kefir while no inhibition was observed when filter-sterilized water kefir was applied, demonstrating the relevant role of the microorganisms in the kefir water in the biocontrol process. Fungal and bacterial diversity in treated sorghum mini-silos was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Firmicutes was the predominant bacterial phyla and Lactobacillus represented the most abundant genus, while Ascomycota was the predominant fungal phyla with Saccharomyces and Pichia as the major genera. Bacterial and yeast counts before and after incubation indicated that the microbial community obtained from WK was able to grow in the sorghum mini-silos in the presence of A. flavus. Results of the present work indicate that the use of a mixed inoculum of microorganisms present in WK may represent an alternative management practice to avoid the growth of A. flavus in ensiled sorghum grains and the concomitant contamination with aflatoxins.]]></dcterms:abstract>
