The removal of chlorpyrifos (CLP) from the environment is a matter general interest, because it one most widely used insecticides in world but presents high toxicity and persistence environment. Biological strategies are considered as good option to remediate different environmental compartments. Assisted natural attenuation was find ability kinds soils mineralise CLP. In this way, two showed c...

Abstract Background Botrytis cinerea , the causal agent of grey mould, is a polyphagous fungus that infects wide range plants, including tomato. In many countries, Algeria, management mould challenging problem, even with chemical control. This necessitates search for other strategies. The objective this study was to evaluate biocontrol potential two rhizospheric bacterial isolates protection to...

The aims of this work were to isolate microorganisms from vinasse (V) and black liquor (BL), by-products alcohol paper industries assess their potential as substrates produce biosurfactants. Thirty-nine microorganisms, 19 V (acidophilic, a1 a19) 20 BL (alkaliphilic, b1 b20) isolated. A high- throughput method was design set up for surface tension ( γ ) measurement. In the first screening, 15/39...

Assembling functional bacterial biocontrol consortia is expected to expand the scope and efficiency of agents. Generally, interspecies interactions lead incompatibility events, as bacteria can produce antibacterial compounds and/or assemble contact-dependent killing (CDK) devices. Here, we aimed a consortium comprising Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11 Bacillus safensis ZK-1 for synergistic control f...

We examined the effect of drought-tolerant Bacillus safensis SS-2.7 and B. thuringiensis SS-29.2 strains on response four (133, 274, California Wonder—CalW, Matica) sweet pepper genotypes to water deficiency conditions. Pepper seeds were sown in pots with (treated) without (control) bacterial strain inoculation. After weeks growth under controlled conditions regular watering, drought was impose...

Plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are gaining attention as a sustainable alternative to current agrochemicals. This study evaluated the impact of three Bacillus spp. (5PB1, 1PB1, FV46) and one Brevibacillus sp. (C9F) on important crop tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) using model cv. ‘MicroTom’. The effects these isolates were assessed (a) seedlings’ growth vigor, (b) adult potted plants. In p...
