Bacterial phenotypes annotation of fresh WCC and WCC silage. A Phenotypes that reflect bacterial characteristics including “Gram Negative”, “Gram Positive” and “Contains Mobile Elements” and bacterial resistance including “Forms Biofilms”, “Stress Tolerant” and “Potentially Pathogenic”. B Bar plot of pathogenic contribution analysis. C Overall comparison of the potentially pathogenic before and after ensiling or among three treatments. The statistical analysis was conducted using a two-sided t-test. P-value is indicated by ***, which represents significant at P < 0.001. FM, fresh WCC; CON, control (WCC treated with distilled water); LS, WCC inoculated with Lc. lactis, WA, WCC inoculated with W. confusa
