Influence of leaf morphological properties on epiphytic lactic acid bacteria counts in forage crops

The structural properties of leaves play a crucial role in the attachment of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in forage corps. This study analyzed the effects of leaf morphological properties, on LAB counts in different wild forage crops. The LAB counts and morphologic features on adaxial or abaxial surfa...
