BILACT50 - Virginiamycin 50% is a potent antimicrobial formulation used in grain and molasses fermentations primarily to suppress the growth of contaminating Lactic Acid Bacteria . By inhibiting these competitors, it protects yeast viability, minimizes sugar loss, and can boost overall ethanol yields by up to 11%.
How It Works -
Mechanism: It selectively targets Gram-positive bacteria by binding to their 50S ribosomal subunit, halting protein synthesis.
Yeast Compatibility: Because yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are eukaryotic, they remain completely unaffected by the antibiotic, allowing fermentation to proceed efficiently.
Typical Dosage and Application -
Dosage Rate: It is generally dosed at very low concentrations, usually between 2 ppm and 5 ppm (based on a 100% active equivalent, which means dosing approximately 4 to 10 mg of Virginiamycin 50% per kilogram or liter of mash).
Application Point: It is typically added directly into the fermentation tanks or slurry tanks alongside the yeast inoculum.
Advantages in Distillery Operations -
Reduced Acid Usage: By halting unwanted acid-producing bacteria, it stabilizes the pH, reducing the need for chemical pH adjusters (like sulfuric acid).
Foam Reduction: It helps prevent bacterial byproducts that cause excess foaming in fermenters.
Cost Efficiency: The small amounts required make it a highly cost-effective intervention for industrial-scale bioethanol and potable alcohol production.

Bilact50 – Virginiamycin 50% is a high-performance antimicrobial fermentation aid specially developed for the ethanol industry to control harmful gram-positive bacterial contamination during grain and molasses fermentation processes. Uncontrolled bacterial growth in fermenters competes with yeast for nutrients and sugars, leading to reduced alcohol yield, poor fermentation efficiency, increased acidity, and process instability.
Bilact50 effectively suppresses lactic acid–producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus species, helping maintain healthy yeast activity and ensuring smooth, consistent fermentation performance. Its advanced formulation supports improved ethanol recovery, better sugar conversion, reduced fermentation losses, and enhanced plant productivity.
Suitable for both grain-based and molasses-based distilleries, Bilact50 is widely used to optimize fermentation efficiency, improve process consistency, and minimize downtime caused by microbial contamination. The product is easy to disperse, highly effective at low inclusion levels, and compatible with standard industrial fermentation systems.
