Development and Evaluation of a Disposable Solid‑State Culture Packed‑Bed Bioreactor for the Production of Conidia from Trichoderma asperellum Grown Under Water Stress
MAIGA Ynoussa, CARBOUE Quentin, HAMROUNI Rayhane, TRANIER Marie-Stéphane, BEN MENADI Yassine, ROUSSOS Sevastianos
A new prototype of a disposable solid-state culture bioreactor (DSSCB) belonging to the packed-bed category is developed for the production of fungal conidia. The bioreactor has the advantages of being autoclavable, lightweight and disposable. With a working volume of 39.52 L, it can be used for large-scale production of fungal conidia. The DS(...)

Benthic Macroinvertebrates as Ecological Indicators: Their Sensitivity to the Water Quality and Human Disturbances in a Tropical River
Lallébila Tampo, Idrissa Kaboré, Elliot Haruna Alhassan, Adama Ouéda, Limam Bawa, Gbandi Djanéyé-Boundjou
Macroinvertebrate metrics are helpful tools for the assessment of water quality and overall aquatic ecosystem health. However, their degree of sensitivity and the most reliable metrics for the bioassessment program development are very poorly studied in Togo. This study aimed to test the sensitivity of metrics calculated at the family and genu(...)

Influence of micro-habitats on the distribution of macroinvertebrates in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Victor Bancé, Adama Ouéda, Idrissa Kaboré, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Komandan Mano, Peter D.M. Weesie, Gustave B. Kabré
In this work, we assessed micro-habitat's influence on the distribution of macroinvertebrates in lake Ziga in Burkina Faso from July to December 2016. The water quality variables were measured in situ and the macroinvertebrates were collected with a hand net. The organisms were identified to the lower taxonomic resolution as possible. The resu(...)

The Effect of Seed Size on Phytochemical Composition in Cowpea Lines (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) from Burkina Faso
Pierre Alexandre Eric Djifaby Sombié, Hemayoro Sama, Antoine Barro, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrébeogo
The study aimed to determine the effect of seeds size (length, width, thickness and 100 seeds-weight) on their phytochemical composition (total phenolics, total flavonoids, total proteins, soluble sugars and starch) of cowpea accessions (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) grown in Burkina Faso. The genotypes and their descendants had length, width,(...)

Since the time of our ancestors, natural products issued from plant play a therapeutic crucial role. About 25-30% of all medicines (drugs) available for the treatment of diseases are derived from natural products (from plants, animals, bacteria and fungi) or are derivatives of natural products. The aim of this research was to scientifically id(...)

The efficacy of different strategies for controlling parasitic weeds depends on the level of awareness on the genetic structure of their populations. However, although Striga gesnerioides is a major threat to cowpea production in Burkina Faso, very few studies have focused on its genetic diversity at molecular level so far. This study has been(...)
