Isolation and assessment of cyanide biodegradation potential of indigenous bacteria from contaminated soil.
MAIGA Ynoussa, YOUNG Suzanne, ORNER Kevin D., MIHELCIC James R., HARWOOD Valerie J., OUATTARA Aboubakar Sidiki
Eight effective bacterial strains were isolated from cyanide-contaminated soil, from which, two (S11 and S13) were tested to determine their mini mum inhibitory concentration using potassium cyanide (KCN) and potas sium tetracyano nickelate (K2Ni(CN)4). The isolates were tested for their KCN biodegradation potential (by measuring ammonia produ(...)

Bio-production of lactic and lactobionic acids using whey from the production of cow’s milk Wagashi cheese in Benin
Oumarou Djobo, Haziz Sina, Souriatou Tagba, Virgile Ahyi, Aly Savadogo, Adolphe Adjanohoun, Manuel Rendueles and Lamine Baba-Moussa
Traditional cheese is the main milk derivative in Bénin. This traditional process is not efficient and generate a lot of whey which has no real use until now. It is just disposed without being environmentally treated. Its use as a source for lactobionic and lactic acids production by Pseudomonas taetrolens and Lactobacillus casei is studied in(...)

Trends and drivers of land use/cover change in W National park in Burkina Faso
Kangbéni Dimobe, Ursula Gessner, Korotimi Ouédraogo, Adjima Thiombiano
Burkina Faso's W National Park (WNPB) is one of the country's biodiversity hotspots. Despite this Park's protection, illegal human activities threaten its vegetation, and little information about the on-site causes of degradation is available. Here we explored the extent and drivers of changes in land use/land cover (LULC) in the WNPB. For thi(...)

Evaluation of the Value Nutritious Leaves Five Varieties Taro (Colocasia esculenta) Cultivated in Burkina Faso
Boampoundi Hélène Ouoba, Amana Metuor Dabire, Sidnooma Véronique Zongo, Hemayoro Sama, Samson Guenne, Renan Ernest Traore, Jacques Simpore
Taro is a perennial herbaceous plant whose large leaves are mainly used as vegetables in human food in several tropical countries. However, young taro leaves are not eaten very much in Burkina Faso unlike other countries which have made them a staple diet. In the present work, we collected leaves of taro varieties cultivated in the provinces o(...)

Effect of pedo-climatic conditions on physicochemical and agro-industrial potential of three wild fruits from Burkina Faso
35. Sama Hemayoro, Dieudonne Kimbie Traore, Samson Guenné, Adama Hilou and Mamoudou H. DICKO
Background: Plants are greatly affected by pedoclimatic conditions. They can alter the physiology of plants and
affect seeds agro-morphological and physicochemical characteristics. It is therefore conceivable that tree species
which have a potential as oil/fat producing plants are affected by pedoclimatic conditions variability. This study a(...)

The emergence of antimicrobial-resistantfood-borne bacteria is a great challenge to public health. This study was conducted to characterize and determine the resistance profile of Salmonella strains isolated from foods including sesames, ready-to-eat (RTE) salads, mango juices, and lettuce in Burkina Faso. One hundred and forty-eight biochemic(...)

Background: Schistosomiasis remains a public health issue in Cameroon. Snail control using Niclosamide can prevent schistosome transmission. It is safe to determine lethal concentrations for the population. This study aimed at assessing the toxicity of Niclosamide on different developmental stages of snail populations; (2) Methods: Snails were(...)
