Bibliometric analysis towards industrial-scale use of Marine Algae and Lichens ...
Ouala, Oumaima; Essadki, Yasser; Oudra, Brahim; Khalloufi, Fatima El; Martins, Rosário; Martins, RosarioThe nutrient-rich composition of seaweeds and lichens makes them well-suited for agricultural applications. Their use as alternatives to synthetic fertilizers contributes to sustainable agricultural production, enabling farmers to adopt ecological practices while maintaining or increasing crop productivity. This review aims to highlight the status and trends of research, along with a literature analysis on the ...
In vitro antimicrobial activity of volatile compounds from the Lichen Pseudever...
Essadki, Yasser; Hilmi, Adel; Cascajosa-Lira, Antonio; Girão, Mariana; Darrag, El Mehdi; Rosário Martins, Maria; Romane, AbderrahmaneLichens are symbiotic organisms with unique secondary metabolism. Various metabolites from lichens have shown antimicrobial activity. Nevertheless, very few studies have investigated the antimicrobial potential of the volatile compounds they produce. This study investigates the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of volatile compounds from Pseudevernia furfuracea collected in two regions of Morocc...
Microcystin-degrading bacteria reduce bioaccumulation in Fragaria vulgaris and ...
Haida, Mohammed; Khalloufi, Fatima El; Essadki, Yasser; Alexandrino, Diogo A. M.; Mugani, Richard; Hejjaj, Abdessamad; Campos, AlexandreIn Morocco, red fruit production has thrived, primarily utilizing hydroponic methods to control crops, increase fruit yield and quality, and avoid soil-related problems. However, the irrigation of these expansive hydroponic farms relies heavily on water sourced from dams, many of which are contaminated with Microcystins (MCs). To address this contamination issue, ongoing research is focused on discovering effec...
Contributions of TOXICROP project for the assessment of the impacts of toxic cy...
Campos, Alexandre; Freitas, Marisa; Oudra, Brahim; Vasconcelos, VítorWater contaminated with microcystins (MCs) or other cyanotoxins is recurrently used in agriculture and for crop irrigation. Several deleterious effects of MCs in plants that may impair crop productivity, including a decrease in growth and tissue necrosis, as well as an inhibition of photosynthesis and metabolic changes, have been reported. Studies also revealed a significant accumulation of MCs in edible tissue...
Impacts of microcystins on morphological and physiological parameters of agricu...
Campos, Alexandre; Redouane, El Mahdi; Freitas, Marisa; Amaral, Samuel; Azevedo, Tomé; Loss, Letícia; Máthé, Csaba; Mohamed, Zakaria A.; Oudra, BrahimCyanobacteria are a group of photosynthetic prokaryotes that pose a great concern in the aquatic environments related to contamination and poisoning of wild life and humans. Some species of cyanobacteria produce potent toxins such as microcystins (MCs), which are extremely aggressive to several organisms, including animals and humans. In order to protect human health and prevent human exposure to this type of o...
In vitro antimicrobial and synergistic effect of essential oil from the red mac...
Custódio, Luísa; Nafis, Ahmed; El Khalloufi, Fatima; Aknaf, Asmae; Oudra, Brahim; Marraiki, Najat; Al-Rashed, Sarah; Elgorban, AbdallahM; Syed, AsadObjective: To study the chemical profile, antimicrobial properties, and synergistic effect with known antibiotics of essential oil extracted from the marine red macroalgae Centroceras clavulatum (C. Agardh) Montagne, collected in Morocco. Methods: The chemical composition of the oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The oil was evaluated for antibacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia...
