Rumen microorganisms have the ability to efficiently hydrolyze and acidify lignocellulosic biomass. The effectiveness of long-term rumen microorganism fermentation of lignocellulose in vitro for producing volatile fatty acids (VFAs) is unclear. The feasibility of long-term rumen microorganism fermentation of lignocelluose was evaluated in this study, and a stable VFA production was successfully realized for 120 d. Results showed that VFA concentration reached to 5.32–8.48 g/L during long-term fermentation. Hydrolysis efficiency of hemicellulose and cellulose reached 36.5%-52.2% and 29.4%-38.4%, respectively. A stable bacterial community was mainly composed of Prevotella, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Ruminococcus, and Succiniclasticum. VFA accumulation led to a pH decrease, which caused the change of bacterial community structure. Functional prediction showed that the functional genes related to hydrolysis and acidogenesis of corn stover were highly expressed during long-term fermentation. The successful long-term rumen fermentation to produce VFAs is of great significance for the practical application of rumen microorganisms.
