This study investigated the feasibility of producing L-lactic acid (LA) from dry corn stalk (DCS) that was pretreated by ensiling by an anaerobic microbial community consisting of Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Enterococcus durans. After 28 days of ensiling, the LA and acetic acid content in the microsilage was 2.04 ±: 0.08% and 0.38 ±: 0.01%, respectively, and the pH was 4.47 ±: 0.13. Enterococcus and Lactobacillus became the dominant microbiota during the ensiling process. Twenty-eight-day-old microsilage was then subjected to fermentation by B. coagulans to produce LA in a simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation process. The enzymatic hydrolysis yield reached >:96%. The maximal concentration of LA reached 18.54 ±: 0.52 g/L with a substrate concentration of 5%, where the yield of LA was 0.31 ±: 0.01 g/g DCS and the optical purity of the product LA was >:97%. Anaerobic ensiling is viable for the pretreatment of biomass for the production of value-added chemicals.
