Abstract
Abstract High-moisture maize was treated with ammonia and stored in two insulated 208 l. drums at 25°C. The maize was sampled periodically in one drum, and it became infected with Scopulariopsis brevicaulis mould. The fungus removed ammonia from the headspace gas and copiously produced carbon dioxide. The other drum was not opened for 18 months, and symptoms of microbial activity were minimal. The effects of ammonia and storage on sugars, proteins, and form of nitrogen are briefly discussed.
