Bosea minatitlanensis sp. nov., a strictly aerobic bacterium isolated from an anaerobic digester
Aboubakar S. Ouattara, Essokazi A. Assih, Sebastien Thierry, Jean-Luc Cayol, Marc Labat, Oscar Monroy and Herve´ MacarieA strictly aerobic, mesophilic bacterium, strain AMX 51T, was isolated from anaerobic digester sludge. Cells were Gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating, straight to curved rods with one polar flagellum. The isolate had phenotypic traits of the genus Bosea, including cellular fatty acid and...

Zymography of Monophenolase and o-Diphenolase Activities of Polyphenol Oxidase
DICKO Mamoudou. H., HILHORST, R., GRUPPEN, H., LAANE, C., van BERKEL, W. J. H. and VORAGEN, A. G. JA new procedure for the zymography of monophenolase and o-diphenolase activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and peroxidase (POX) is proposed using a highly sensitive, chromogenic nucleophile 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH), which traps quinones. The procedure allowed the...

Comparison of the content of phenolic compounds, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase in grains of fifty sorghum varieties
140. DICKO Mamoudou. H., HILHORST, R., GRUPPEN, H., TRAORE, A. S., LAANE, C., van BERKEL, W. J. H. and VORAGEN, A. G. J.Analysis of fifty sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] varieties used in Burkina Faso showed that they have different contents of phenolic compounds, peroxidase (POX), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). Most of the varieties (82%) had a tannin content less than 0.25% (w/w). POX specific activity was...

Polysaccharide hydrolases from Boscia senegalensis: purification and characterization of endo-1,3-beta-glucanase
DICKO Mamoudou. H., Searle-van LEEUWEN, HILHORST, R., TRAORE, A. S. and Beldman, G.The leaves of Boscia senegalensis are traditionally used in West Africa in cereal protection against pathogens, pharmacologic applications, and food processing. Activities of a-amylase, b-amylase, exo-(1®3, 1®4)-b-Dglucanase, and endo-(1®3)-b-D-glucanase were detected in these leaves. The...

Extraction, partial purification and characterization of beta-amylase from Gladiolus klattianus
DICKO Mamoudou. H., Searle-van LEEUWEN, HILHORST, R. and TRAORE, A. S.The bulbs of Gladiolus klattianus are used in Burkina Faso in food processing. Activities of a-amylase and b-amylase were reported within those bulbs for the ®rst time. The puri®cation of the b-amylase involved bu€er extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration...

Isolation and characterization of Desulfovibrio burkinensis sp. nov. from an African ricefield, and phylogeny of Desulfovibrio alcoholivorans
A. S. Ouattara, B. K. C. Patel, J.-L. Cayol, N. Cuzin, A. S. Traore and J.-L. GarciaA sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain HDvT (T¯type strain), was isolated from an anoxic ricefield soil. Cells were Gram-negative, non-sporulating curved rods motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Cytochrome c3 and desulfoviridin
