Prospection for potential new non-ribosomal peptide gene clusters in Bacillus genus isolated from fermented foods and soil through genome mining
Blaise Waongo, L. Ndayishimiye, F. Tapsoba, Wend-Soo Abel Zongo, Jinquan Li, A. Savadogo
Experimental studies, though often very costly, lead to the discovery of known antimicrobial products. Yet, pathogenic microorganisms are proving increasingly resistant to pre-existing antimicrobial molecules, and this is a cause for worldwide concern. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new molecules that could serve as alternatives in t(...)

Dynamics of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Relation to Water Quality in Two Small Reservoirs in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Idrissa Ouédraogo, Victor Bancé, Noëllie W. Kpoda, Adama Ouéda
In Burkina Faso, small reservoirs play a key ecological and socio-economic role for populations. Unfortunately, their biodiversity, ecological functioning, and response to diverse environmental changes remain less understood. This study aimed to determine the taxonomic composition and the temporal dynamics of macroinvertebrates and their envir(...)

Antioxidant effects and protective potential of fruit extracts of Detarium microcarpum against arsenic trioxide-induced human lymphocytes DNA oxidative damages
Ablassé Rouamba, Vincent Ouedraogo, Maurice Ouédraogo, Martin Kiendrebeogo
Objective: The integrity of the DNA is continously menaced by the harmful genotoxic compounds. The endogenous system responsible for preserving the DNA integrity, often fails following a massive influx of these genotoxic compounds. Reseaches on exogenous bioactive compounds from fruits and vegetables are necessary. This study was designed to e(...)
