Streptomyces is the most frequently described genus of Actinomycetes, a producer biologically active secondary metabolites. Indeed, species produces about 70% antibiotics and 60% antifungal molecules used in agriculture. Our study was carried out with goal isolating identifying antimicrobial metabolites from misionensis V16R3Y1 isolated date palm rhizosphere (southern Tunisia). This strain presented broad range activity against Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium expansum,...
The ability of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) to produce ammonia (NH3) is one the key mechanisms for growth and development plants. Ammonia spectrophotometric quantification assay using Nessler’s reagent remains laborious seems be not suitable large-scale PGP screening assay. Here, we performed a new accurate, easy, cost-effective micro-plate protocol in bacterial supernatants as an alternative method. In order validate accuracy our innovative microplate assay, 9 strains were...
Lobularia maritima, commonly known as sweet alyssum, is an annual ornamental halophyte widely spread along the Tunisian seashore. However, little about phytochemical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of maritima. The present study aimed to investigate potential biological properties different parts (flowers, leaves, roots, stems) L. maritima using diverse extraction methods. Extracts were then studied for their antioxidant properties, highest activity was presented in roots’...
