High performance amylolytic yeast strains isolation and identification for valorization of potatoes waste available in Burkina Faso
Ouédraogo N., Savadogo A., Zongo C., Somda K. M. and Traoré A. S.
This study deals with isolation and identification of high amylolytic activity strains from potato wastes for biomass production. A total of twenty five (25) yeast strains were isolated using standard microbiological methods. Ten (10) strains were retained on the basis of their capacity to hydrolyze starch. Identification to species level of s(...)

SORE H., HILOU A., SOMBIE Pierre A. E. D., COMPAORE M., MEDA R., MILLOGO J. and NACOULMA O. G.
Many studies indicate that Combretaceae species are commonly used in Africa to treat various diseases. Nonetheless, no phytochemical and/or biological activity data are available from species found in Burkina Faso to secure their ethnomedicinal uses. In addition, drugs derived from these species, especially those of the genus Combretum, are so(...)
