Pathogenicity of Biscogniauxia mediterranea (De. Not. Kunze.) to Quercus seedlings

Hadjer Smahi — 2024-11-30

Introduction: The fungus Biscogniauxia mediterranea (syn.: Hypoxylon mediterraneum) is one of the most
dreaded pathogens on trees of the genus Quercus throughout the Mediterranean basin.The present work aims to
study in vivo the pathogenicity of two isolates of B. mediterranea from symptomatic trees of the cork oak of the
two forests of western Algeria.
Methods: The pathogenicity of the isolates was tested on young seedlings of Q. suber and Q. ilex aged one year,
by inoculation method, under controlled conditions (T° ~ 19 to 24 °C).
Results: After 30 days of inoculation, the two isolates confirmed their pathogenicity towards cork oak and holm
oak seedlings causing necrotic lesions on the stem reaching up to 45 mm in certain seedlings. Drying and
chlorosis of the leaves are also observed.
Conclusion: Given the potential threat posed by the inherent aggressiveness of Biscogniauxia species, further
research is deemed necessary to curb the development of charcoal disease on oak trees.

Phenotypic and genotypic insights into a halotolerant bacterium with antimicrobial potential from El Golea Lake

Fatima Nas — 2024-11-30

Introduction: The antimicrobial potential of a halotolerant bacterial strain, LMB3982, isolated from the
hypersaline Lake El Golea in Algeria at 25% NaCl (w/v), was investigated. The study aimed to evaluate the
antimicrobial activity of this strain and to characterize its phenotypic and genotypic properties, with a focus on
its bioactive compounds and environmental adaptability.
Methods: The strain was subjected to primary and secondary screenings for antimicrobial activity against a
panel of test microorganisms. The influence of growth medium and incubation time on the production of
antimicrobial metabolites was assessed. Various organic solvents were used to extract antimicrobial compounds,
which were then evaluated for their efficacy. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on chloroformic
extracts using three solvent systems, and chemical properties were analyzed using infrared (IR) s pectroscopy.
Additionally, a taxonomic study based on phenotypic and genotypic identification, including 16S rRNA gene
sequencing, was conducted.
Results: Strain LMB3982 demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against most test microorganisms, with
maximum activity observed after 72 hours of culture on nutrient agar. Chloroform was identified as the most
effective solvent for extracting bioactive compounds. TLC analysis revealed the presence of two types of
molecules: amines and phenols. IR spectros copy confirmed these findings, showing characteristic peaks
corresponding to these compounds. Biochemical tests indicated that the strain could produce various enzymes,
utilize multiple sugars, and grow under a wide range of conditions: NaCl concentrations of 0–25%, pH levels of
5–11, and temperatures of 15–37°C. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence positioned strain
LMB3982 as a novel taxon within the Bacillales order, showing 96% similarity to Bacillus pseudofirmus and
93.3% to Bacillus halodurans
Conclusion:. These findings highlight the potential of strain LMB3982 for biotechnological applications,
particularly in the production of novel antimicrobial compounds and enzymes adapted to extreme conditions.

Overview of the therapeutic and or pharmaceutical effects of olive mill waste water on the gastroduodenal mucosa injuries

Naima Badid — 2024-11-30

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to review the literature supporting the use of olive mill waste water
(OMW) in the management of gastroduodenal mucosa lesions and or ulcer.
Methods: Current benchmark data is collected from the DSA for the running year. The survey process is
inspired by using various databases to summarise credible research in the in-vivo and in-vitro literature through
the systematic use of electronic databases and resources such as Google scholar, Springer link, Science Direct
and PubMed. To provide a full and wide scope of relevant evidence, the inclusion criteria for this review were
set to filter out studies that assessed the relationship between OMW and gastroduodenal mucosa lesions and or
ulcer.
Results: A variety of literature was reviewed in order to obtain as much information as possible, and a total of
43 studies were selected for inclusion in this overview. This paper focuses on the relationship between OMW
and healing effects of gastroduodenal ulcer. It would be useful to scrutinize the data resulting from the study of
the physiological and metabolic effects. The meta-analysis has shown that polyphenols from Olea europaea, and
therefore those from their OMW, have numerous biological activities, both in terms of primary and secondary
prevention, in particular gastroprotective and anti-ulcer activity. Previous research has suspected that OMW
polyphenols may have both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help to protect the stomach
lining from damage and reduce the risk of developing ulcers. They may also help by suppressing the
proliferation of Helicobacter pylori, widely diagnosed in clinical development of gastric wound ulcer.
Conclusion: According to diverse studies, OMW compounds have shown potential healling activity. Its antiinflammatory,
antioxidant and antibacterial properties may help to protect the stomach mucosa and reduce the
risk of developing lesions of the gastroduodenal mucosa. However, further research is needed to fully clarify
their mechanisms of their potential health benefits.
