    A total of 9 samples of individual dromedary raw milks from N’ajjer (3), Targui (3) and Reguibi (3) breeds were collected from 3 camels nomad herd in south Algeria and were analysed for bacterial load. A totalof 23 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated, out of which 12 strains were cocci and 11 strains were facultatively heterofermentative lactobacilli. Lactic acid bacteria were identified on the basis ofphenotypic characters as Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus durans, Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum andLactobacillus rhamnosus. Whole cells of lactococci, enterococci and lactobacilli showed proteolytic activity and were found to differed in terms of their acidifying activities. Proteolytic and autolyticactivity were generally higher for most lactobacilli compared to other isolates and none of the strains produced biogenic amines in the method applied. A wide variety of this 23 lactic acid bacteria strainsisolated from Algerian dromedary milks that showed potentially important properties suggest that they are good candidate for camels milk processing or other dairy fermentation process

    Vingt trois isolats de bactéries lactiques ont été isolés à partir de 10 échantillons d’olives vertes fermentées dans l’ouest algérien. Elles ont été caractérisées et identifiées sur la base de l’observation microscopique, des propriétés biochimiques et la capacité de fermentation des sucres. Onze souches étaient identifiées à l’espèce Lactobacillus plantarum, 7 à l’espèce Enterococcus faecium et 5 à l’espèce Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis. Cette étude préliminaire a pour objectif l’élaborationd’une collection locale de culture bactériènnes starters

    Un total de 154 souches de Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Enterococcus ou Streptococcus ont été isolées à partir d’échantillons d’huile d’olive ou d’échantillons de laits crus de vache, de chèvre et de brebis collectés dans l’ouest algérien. Les tests de caractérisation morphologiques et biochimiques ont permis d’identifier 50 souches de Lc. lactis subsp. lactis, 34 souches de Lc. lactis subsp. biovar. diacetylactis et 35 souches de Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris. Vingt et une souches ont été identifiées comme étant des Lactobacillus sp., 11 souches des Enterococcus faecium et 03 souches des Streptococcus bovis

    With the purpose of selecting the species of woody Caatinga for mixed plantations with Eucalyptus spp., the allelophatic effects of E. camaldulensis and E. grandis essential oil were studied on the growth activities of Anadenanthera peregrina. The plants were closed in glass chambers in the presence of volatile oil of E. camaldulensis or E. grandis at the concentration of 13 nl.cm-3. The number of leaves, height and diameter at soil lever were compared before, immediately after and after 30 days. Chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids and dry mass were evaluated after the treatment application. There was no inhibitory effect of E. camaldulensis and E. grandis oils on A. peregrina. E. camaldulensis, which was more adapted to semi-arid conditions, was planted in mixture stands with two native legume species, inoculated with Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. E. camaldulensis did not inhibit native species growth after two years of cultivation

    Micro and macro quadcopter drones for indoor mapping to support disaster management

    In this paper we present the operations and mapping techniques of two drones that are different in terms of size, the sensors deployed, and the positioning and mapping techniques used. The first drone is a low-cost commercial quadcopter microdrone, a Crazyflie, while the second drone is a relatively expensive research quadcopter macrodrone, called MAX. We investigated their feasibility in mapping areas where satellite positioning is not available, such as indoor spaces
