Virescence of tenweeks stock associated to phytoplasma infection in Sicily
2007
In April 2007, a severe disease occurred in Sicily (Italy) in a glasshouse cultivation of tenweeks stock belonging to the cultivar White-Beach. Plants were stunted and rosetted, and the flowers were of small size and characterized by virescence symptoms. Phytoplasma presence and identity was detected by applying PCR/RFLP techniques and sequencing of 16S ribosomal gene. Phytoplasmas were identified as belonging to ribosomal subgroup 16SrII-A, never reported before in Italy and showed 99% of homology with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia’ and related phytoplasmas. This is the first report of a phytoplasma disease of tenweeks stock. Considering that this Brassicaceae ornamental species is …

Importance of dispersal and thermal environment for mycorrhizal communities: lessons from Yellowstone National Park
2011
International audience; The relative importance of dispersal and niche restrictions remains a controversial topic in community ecology, especially for microorganisms that are often assumed to be ubiquitous. We investigated the impact of these factors for the community assembly of the root-symbiont arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) by sampling roots from geothermal and nonthermal grasslands in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), followed by sequencing and RFLP of AMF ribosomal DNA. With the exception of an apparent generalist RFLP type closely related to Glomus intraradices, a distance-based redundancy analysis indicated that the AMF community composition correlated with soil pH or pH-driven c…
Biological nitrogen fixation for the 21st century
1998
The biodiversity of nitrogen-fixing organisms is huge. Taxonomic and phylogenetic research is needed to structure this diversity, to facilitate communication among scientists, and to increase our understanding of the evolution and biology of diazotrophs. Molecular tools for taxonomic and biodiversity studies of diazotrophic rhizobia, frankiae, cyanobacteria and bacilli are presented in sections 2 to 5. Sections 6 to 9 focus on problems with genus and species assignment.
Changements à court terme de la composition des communautés de champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules et des populations de Rhizophagus irregularis en…
2014
La mycorhize à arbuscule a un important potentiel d’amélioration de la nutrition minérale des plantes, fort utile dans le contexte agricole. Cependant, certaines pratiques culturales sont connues pour avoir un effet néfaste sur la diversité des champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (Glomeromycètes). Il est donc nécessaire de mieux comprendre les dynamiques de leurs communautés et populations pour pouvoir préserver et gérer le potentiel symbiotique. Dans cette étude, nous avons étudié les effets séparés et conjoints du retournement du sol et des fertilisations phosphatée et azotée du sol sur la structure des communautés des Glomeromycètes et sur les populations de l’espèce Rhizophagus irregu…
Fungal ecology on grapes
2010
Microbial population of grapes is important from a technological point of view because it determines the quality of wine. But few studies have focused on fungal populations of grapes. A better knowledge of the fungal diversity on grapes, particularly as concerns species responsible for wine defects, may help efforts to control their development.We report the development of a PCR ITS-RFLP method as a fast and easy technique for identifying species of fungal genera present on grapes. By this methode, 41 different fungal species among 43 studied species belonging to 11 genera were characterized at the species level. Only P. thomii remained indistinguishable from P. glabrum. Using this PCR-ITS-…
Ecological role of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium graminearum : consequences of the presence of deoxynivalenol (DON) in crop residues on the soil mi…
2012
Fusarium graminearum is a plant pathogenic fungus, causing devastating disease “Fusarium head blight” (FHB) in cereals including wheat and maize. It also contaminates the grains with mycotoxins including deoxynivalenol (DON) which are toxic to human and animals. This disease has resulted in the serious losses in grain yield and quality. We established through a first bibliographic review that during off season fungus survives saprophytically on the crop residues (ecological habitat) and serves as primary inoculum for the next season crop. However, we noticed also that the literature was poor about the role mycotoxins could play in the establishment of F. graminearum in such a habitat. The m…

Étude de la biodégradation de l'herbicide acide 2.4-dichlorophénoxyacétique (2.4-D) dans des sols agricoles de la région de Constantine
2011
Les principaux facteurs conditionnant la biodégradation du 2,4-D dans trois sols agricoles algériens (45IB, 46BM et 47AA), notamment l'humidité et la température, ont été examinés. Les cinétiques de minéralisation de l'herbicide ont été déterminées par radiorespirométrie, qui consiste à piéger et estimer le 14C02 formé dans une solution de soude à l'aide d'un compteur à scintillation liquide. Les résultats obtenus confirment la présence de microorganismes dégradants le 2,4-D et la biodégradation de cet herbicide semble dépendre essentiellement des propriétés physicochimiques intrinsèques des sols notamment la teneur en argile et MgO. Le sol 46BM, caractérisé par de faibles quantités en sabl…
