In vitro screening for potential probiotic properties of Pediococcus pentosaceus strains isolated from fermented Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L.) grains: A legume native to West Africa

Amidou S. Ouili, Assiètta Ouattara, Iliassou Mogmenga, Cheik Omar Tidiane Compaoré, Ynoussa Maiga, Mahamadi Nikiema, A. Ouattara

The incorporation of microbial strains, particularly lactic acid bacteria known for their beneficial probiotic effects, is essential for the development of functional foods that promote health. The selection of the most suitable strains requires thorough in vitro evaluations to determine their probiotic characteristics. This study aimed to eva(...)

Soilless Cultivation of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa): Impact of Fertilizers on Growth and Disease Reduction in Burkina Faso.

Soura Hervé, Dianda Issa, Sama Hemayoro, Koita Kadidia, Gnancadja Léopold and Savadogo Aly

In market gardening, some common agricultural practices pose environmental and health concerns. Indeed, household waste, biomedical waste, sewage sludge and many others are used as fertilizer for production. Also the acidification of soils due to the mineral fertilizers used constitutes real problems. Lettuce is the fourth m(...)

Evaluation of fruit production of six Solanum spp cultivars and identification of fungal diseases

Soura Hervé, Goudjo Edouard, Attadeou Alphonse, Gnancadja Léopold, and BabaMoussa Lamine.

Solanum spp is one of the most produced and consumed leafy vegetables in Benin, but the fruits are little known, and little used in the daily diet. Biotic constraints hinder their production, leading to considerable loss of fruit yield. In the search for a solution to these biotic constraints, this present study, ca(...)

Style et prosodie ironique dans quelques romans burkinabè

Jeanne TIENDREBEOGO

La présente étude s’intéresse aux modalités de déploiement de l’ironie dans les traits suprasegmentaux de la langue dans le roman burkinabè. Nous avons donc cherché à voir comment l’ironie, dans sa dimension prosodique, se manifestait dans le roman burkinabè. L’objectif est de décrire le fonctionnement des énoncés ironiques sous leurs for(...)

L’éco-sémiotique : une méthode d’approche pour des études culturelles africaines

Bruno GUIATIN

Le développement des cultures et sociétés est tributaire du sens qui se construit dans l’interrelation entre les communautés humaines et leurs lieux de vie. Le sens est dès lors questionné en tant que tension continue entre la nature « oïkos » et la culture comme sensibilité, qui émerge des liens créatifs, perceptifs entre des communau(...)

Optimization of Biomethane Production from Vegetable Waste Collected in Ouagadougou Markets and “Yaars” Using the Response Surface Method (RSM)

J. Makaya, Mahamadi Nikiema, Nombamba Ouéda, Sonagnon Kouhounde, M. Somda

Large quantity of vegetable waste is produced in Ouagadougou’ markets and “yaars”, causing damage to the environment and, consequently the risks of to some diseases. Reusing methane in the production system could constitute one of the best options for the management of this waste. The objective of this study is to contribute to the energy reco(...)

Valorization of Local Resources for Sealing of Mining Facilities: Characterization of A Geosynthetic Clay Liner Using Clay and Kenaf Fibers from Burkina Faso

Médaninpo Fidèle Yonli, Hamma Fabien Yonli, Gounwendmanaghré Hubert Zongo, Dieudonné Tankoano, Emmanuel Nikièma, David Yemboini Kader Toguyeni

Since the early 2000s, Burkina Faso has experienced significant growth in the mining industry, generating large quantities of waste that require strict management in dedicated facilities. To limit pollutant migration in these mining sites, imported manufactured materials such as Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) and geomembranes are commonly use(...)

Mineral fertilizers are widely used for maize production in West Africa. However, these fertilizers are not affordable for most of the local farmers. This study was carried out to isolate plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), which could be used as low-cost biofertilizers. Two farming sites practicing biological agriculture were selecte(...)

POETIQUE ET SEMIOTIQUE : LA SYMBOLIQUE DE L’ARBRE FETICHE DE JEAN PLIYA

KPANYAWNE Somda Balouhib Thadée, GUIATIN Bruno

L’Homme s’est échiné à démontrer qu’il est maître de l’Univers. Mais toutes les parties visibles et cachées, qui demeurent inexplorées, ridiculisent ce dit maître pour élever l’humain humble. Pour celui-ci, toutes ces parties, visibles, cachées, inexplorées, sont toujours dignes d’intérêt comme le montrera l’étude suivante intitulée « Po(...)
