Solid-State Fermentation of spp.: A New Way to Valorize the Agricultural Digestate and Produce Value-Added Bioproducts.

In this study, the agricultural digestate from anaerobic biogas production mixed with food wastes was used as a substrate to grow RUT-C30 and Ta13 in solid-state fermentation (SSF) and produce high-value bioproducts, such as bioactive molecules to be used as ingredients for biostimulants. The spp. reached their maximum growth after 6 and 3 SSF days, respectively.

Diversity of Nematode Microbial Antagonists from Algeria Shows Occurrence of Nematotoxic spp.

Fungi and bacteria associated to phytoparasitic nematodes and spp. in Algeria were identified and characterized. spp.

Fusarium algeriense, sp. nov., a novel toxigenic crown rot pathogen of durum wheat from Algeria is nested in the Fusarium burgessii species complex.

A novel crown rot pathogen of wheat discovered during pathogen surveys in Algeria in 2014 and 2015 is formally described as Fusarium algeriense. Multilocus molecular phylogenetic data resolved the eight isolates of this pathogen as a genealogically exclusive species lineage in the F. burgessii species complex.

Distribution and Genetic Variability of Associated with Tomato Diseases in Algeria and a Biocontrol Strategy with Indigenous spp.

Fifty fungal isolates were sampled from diseased tomato plants as result of a survey conducted in seven tomato crop areas in Algeria from 2012 to 2015. Morphological criteria and PCR-based identification, using the primers PF02 and PF03, assigned 29 out of 50 isolates to (). The banding patterns amplified for genes and served to identify races 2 and 3 of f.

Population genetic structure and mycotoxin potential of the wheat crown rot and head blight pathogen Fusarium culmorum in Algeria.

Surveys for crown rot (FCR) and head blight (FHB) of Algerian wheat conducted during 2014 and 2015 revealed that Fusarium culmorum strains producing 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3ADON) or nivalenol (NIV) were the causal agents of these important diseases. Morphological identification of the isolates (n FCR=110, n FHB=30) was confirmed by sequencing a portion of TEF1. To assess mating type idiomorph, trichothecene chemotype potential and global population structure, the Algerian strains were compared with preliminary sample of F.
