Item Advances in research on the use of Brevundimonas spp. to improve crop and soil fertility and for soil bioremediation(Université of Eloued-جامعة الوادي, 2023-06-30) Souad, Zaim; Ahmed Amine, BekkarBiofertilizers or biological fertilizers maintain soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilizing P and K, producing plant growth substances and antibiotics as well as biodegradation of organic matter in the soil that enriches the root rhizosphere. Microbial biofertilizers are eco-friendly and less expensive alternatives to chemical fertilizers. The key components of healthy soil are populations of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) which play multiple beneficial and ecological roles in the rhizosphere soil. PGPR colonizes rhizosphere or plant roots, resulting in phytostimulation, biofertilization and biocontrol either directly and/or indirectly. Another important role of PGPR is its ability to decontaminate soils through a process called soil bioremediation. Recently, the known rhizobacteria environmentally friendly biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture are those belonging to Brevundimonas spp., which play a significant role in improving crop production and soil health .Item The Impact of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles on Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Release Rate in Mice Organs(Université of Eloued-جامعة الوادي, 2023-06-30) Ikhazuagbe, Hilary Ifijen; Selina Ilunakan, OmonmhenleThe impact of exposing significant mouse organs to cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) has received considerable attention in the literature, but a comprehensive review on this topic is lacking. This review aims to address this gap by examining the influence of CeO2 NPs on the release rate of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various organs of mice. CeO2 NPs have demonstrated potential therapeutic applications due to their ROS-scavenging abilities, which are relevant to oxidative stress-related diseases. Recent studies investigating the effect of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate in organs such as the liver, spleen, lung, and brain are highlighted in this article. The findings reveal a complex interaction between CeO2 NPs and the ROS system, influenced by factors such as particle dose, size, and surface chemistry. Furthermore, the impact of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate is organ-specific and dependent on the tissue microenvironment. The review also addresses the potential toxicity of CeO2 NPs and emphasizes the need for further research to better comprehend their mechanisms of action and long-term effects. By providing valuable insights into the influence of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate in mice organs, this review holds significant implications for the therapeutic applications of CeO2 NPs in oxidative stress-related diseases. This review contributes to the existing body of knowledge by examining the impact of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate in various mouse organs.Item Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles and Their Applications(Université of Eloued-جامعة الوادي, 2023-06-30) Emmanuel Chile, Nleonu; Ilham, Ben Amor; Soumeia, Zeghoud; Hadia, HemmamiRecent developments in nanotechnology and nanoscience have improved methods for treating, preventing, and diagnosing a wide range of illnesses in many parts of living beings. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are among the most significant and intriguing metallic nanoparticles employed in several biological applications. To create Ag NPs, biomolecules from diverse microbial species and plant components have been researched as possible agents. Due to their physical orientation characteristics, and small size, these Ag NPs are widely employed and are said to have an impact on the performance of any other material that comes into touch with them. In addition, straightforward biological, physical, and chemical methods may be used to create Ag NPs. Due to their enhanced responsiveness to environmentally friendly technology for quantifiable synthesis, several developed nations have seen significant growth in the biosynthesis of Ag NPs. The biological method, however, is the approach to preparation that is most in demand since it is quicker, safer, less expensive, and more environmentally friendly than other techniques. In addition, the importance of Ag NPs is extensively examined in light of their numerous bioapplications, including those for antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, Antiviral activity, Catalytic Activity, and anticancer medicines.Item A new locality reported in winter for the Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris (Scopoli, 1769) in Algeria (Aves: Prunellidae)(Université of Eloued-جامعة الوادي, 2023-06-30) Mayssara, El Bouhissi; Abdelwahab, Chedad; Habib Allah, BenhamouAlpine Accentor, Prunella collaris (Scopoli, 1769), is one of Algeria’s rare birds. During the monitoring campaign, which was run between 2020 and 2023 using direct observation, a pair of Alpine Accentor was spotted in the Tessala mountains (North of Sidi Bel Abbes, western Algeria) on November 12, 2022. This newly documented locality is important because it likely expands the currently known range of this rare species in Algeria .Item The Hunt for Himalayan Traditional Medicine Parasitic Treasure: ‘Caterpillar Fungi’(Université of Eloued-جامعة الوادي, 2023-06-30) Mahmood Khan, YousufIn recent times the demand for conventional medicines is rising day by day in urban cities of the globe. Different sorts of folk meds are widely employed in various therapies by the global communities. Excessive exploration and exploitation of folk meds has alarmingly damaged the ecological diversity around the world. The folk meds are largely created through plants animals and even microbes. In this study an expensive conventional medicinal fungus often alluded to as ‘caterpillar fungi’ that is found in the Himalayan region has been evaluated for its sorted traits pertaining to its origin, morphology, lifecycle, therapeutics, biomolecules and its trade values. This fungus has been an integral compound of traditional medicines in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India and China. It was inferenced in this study that the hunt for this Himalayan medicinal treasure has raised tremendously. In recent times studies reveal that the caterpillar fungus has been widely employed as a nutritional supplement or tonic and as an herbal medication. The volume of this medicinal fungus is decreasing due to its over exploitation. Over exploration of this pricey med is contributing towards its degradation. It was evaluated through this investigation, that the caterpillar fungi possess rich aboriginal medicinal traits that has resulted in its excessive exploration and even smuggling in the states of its origin. It is concluded in this study that; strict measures must be taken by the global states to safeguard these valuable fungi that could be loaded with medicinal properties to cure many chronic health ailments. It is inferred in this study that lack of proper concerns on these significant fungi has labelled these fungi under vulnerable species.Item Assessment of Marrubium vulgare hydro-alcoholic extract’s biological activities(Université of Eloued-جامعة الوادي, 2023-06-30) Mulondo, Samuel; Kimbugwe, Muzamiru; Lassami, Afaf; Chelghoum, HayetMarrubium vulgare is a tall, robust herbaceous perennial plant originating from Asia and Mediterranean and currently distributed throughout North, South America, Europe, Mediterranean and west Asia. M.vulgare thrives in any type of the soil but it prefers light calcareous, dry soils where it is sunny and warm at an altitude between 1500 –2400 m.

Significant decrease in level of Pb has been noted in both the treatments. Decrease in Pb level was 3.6% and 18.7% of control (0.09 and 0.43 mg/kg). It was concluded that the plant B. vulgaris is a very good phytoremediation tool to remove Pb metal from the soil.Item Evaluation of the zootechnical performance of broiler chicken at the level of different types of breeding in Algeria(Université of Eloued-جامعة الوادي, 2023-06-30) Lamari, SaraThe objective of this work was to study the influence of livestock farming type on the performance of broilers chickens (COBB 500 strains) in the semi-arid region of Sétif in Algeria. It has been determined the zootechnical parameters of chickens (live weight (g), Average daily gain, Consumption Index, Mortality) for control of livestock farming type. Indeed, the growth of broiler chickens was influenced by livestock farming type; the live weight and the average daily gain respectively were linked to livestock farming type (p < 0.05). Whereas the consumption Index was close to the meaning (p=009). Broiler chickens of larges breeders had more growth performance with heavy carcasses (2872, 22±251,39 g), the more the average daily gain (61,94±7,23 g/day), and better consumption index (1,76 ± 0,16) at 47 days of age. The mortality rate, in fact, is high and exceeds 10%. The efforts must be concentrated on equipping buildings, hygiene rules and health programs, strengthening the training of the human factor to obtain the best performance from the broiler chicken: a low mortality rate, better weight growth and an improved consumption index
