Chemical composition and evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Tunisian Thymelaea hirsuta with special reference to its mode of action
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2013 , Article)
In the present study, we evaluated in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of Thymelaea hirsuta extracts as well as its phytochemical composition. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were highest in acetone and ...
Agrotis segetum midgut putative receptor of Bacillus thuringiensis vegetative insecticidal protein Vip3Aa16 differs from that of Cry1Ac toxin
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Considering the fact that Agrotis segetum is one of the most pathogenic insects to vegetables and cereals in the world, particularly in Africa, the mode of action of Vip3Aa16 of Bacillus thuringiensis BUPM95 and Cry1Ac of ...
Low electro-synthesis potentials improve permselectivity of polymerized natural phenols in biosensor applications
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
First-generation amperometric biosensors are often based on the electro-oxidation of oxidase-generated H2O2. At the applied potential used in most studies, other molecules such as ascorbic acid or dopamine can be oxidized. ...
Correlation between delta-endotoxin and proteolytic activities produced by Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki growing in an economic production medium
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram positive bacterium that produces an insecticidal crystalline protein making it one of the most important biocontrol agents for pest management. Bioinsecticides based on B. thuringiensis ...
Rotavirus strain diversity in the Centre Coast of Tunisia from 2000 through 2003
(
Oxford University Press
, 2010 , Article)
An epidemiological survey investigating rotavirus infection in children was undertaken in the coastal region of Tunisia from January 2000 through September 2003. A total of 309 fecal specimens were screened by enzyme-linked ...
Improvement of Photorhabdus temperata strain K122 bioinsecticide production by batch and fed-batch fermentations optimization
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2012 , Article)
Optimization of a fermentation process for bioinsecticides production by Photorhabdus temperata strain K122 was investigated into fully controlled 3-L fermenter using an optimized medium (OM). Development of large-scale ...
Use of two bacteria for biological control of bayoud disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L) seedlings
(
Elsevier Masson SAS
, 2012 , Article)
The Bayoud, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa), is the most destructive disease of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L) in Morocco and Algeria, with no effective control strategy yet available. In this work, ...
Correlation between synthesis variation of 2-alkylquinolones and the antifungal activity of aBurkholderia cepacia strain collection
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2012 , Article)
Twenty epiphytic and rhizospheric bacterial strains harbouring strong antifungal activities were isolated from the Tunisian environment. This group of bacteria was identified as Burkholderia cepacia genomovar I using 16S ...
Relationship between plasmid loss and gene expression in Bacillus thuringiensis
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
The large genome of Bacillus thuringiensis was shortened by provoking plasmid loss, and the effect of such loss on the expression of both chromosomal and plasmid-harboured genes was studied. It was evidenced that the genomic ...
Characterisation of novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolates against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera:Tephridae)
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is successfully used in pest management strategies as an eco-friendly bioinsecticide. Isolation and identification of new strains with a wide variety of target pests is an ever growing field. In this ...
