Functional properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Ivory Coast.

Background: Probiotics have recently been applied in aquaculture as eco-friendly alternatives to antibiotics to improve fish health, simultaneously with the increase of production parameters. The present study aimed to investigate the functional potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from the gut of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) originating from the aquaculture farm of Oceanologic Research Center in Ivory Coast.

Results: Twelve LAB strains were identified by 16 S rDNA gene sequence homology analysis belonging to two genera Pediococcus (P.

[Ingestion of unusual foreign bodies in adults about two cases observed at the treichville university hospital center].

Most of ingested foreign bodies passthrough the digestive tract spontaneously. The surgical care represents less than 1%. We report two cases of unexpected ingested foreign bodies treated surgically during the year 2019 in order to identify the surgical indications through a literaturereview.

[Quality of Medical Imaging examination requests in Bouaké (Cote d'Ivoire): about 3129 requests].

Objective: Assess the quality of medical imaging exam requests in order to facilitate their successful completion.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective study, carried out at the Bouaké UniversityHospital over a period of 4 months. This study covered 3129 requests for examination.

Purification and characterization of cell suspensions peroxidase from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

Two peroxidases, cPOD-I and rPOD-II, have been isolated and purified from cotton cell suspension and their biochemical characteristics studied. rPOD-II from R405-2000, a non-embryogenic cultivar, has higher activity than cPOD-I derived from Coker 312, which developed an embryogenic structure. The cPOD-I and rPOD-II had molecular mass of 39.
