Biotechnology research, development, applications and management in Zimbabwe: Review

Information on the nature, trend and quality of biotechnology research, development, applications and management in a country is generally needed to improve policy decisions, guide future research and cooperation, civil society and general public knowledge, technology development agencies and to support public sector implementation of biotechnology research. However, there has been to date no comprehensive publication describing overall biotechnology research and development in Zimbabwe. The little information available only cover agricultural biotechnology in particular plant biotechnology. This paper, therefore, offers a profile of Zimbabwe's overall biotechnology research and development covering activities that provide new knowledge, and the application of biotechnological techniques, biosafety and the regulation status of the biotechnology in the country. The aim is to provide an insight and update of the state of biotechnology in Zimbabwe. This paper also aims to highlight the...

This paper aims at valorising an artisanal honey based alcoholic beverage from northern Cameroon (Africa). The studied process production involved most of stage required for production of mead with difference in starter preparation and handling which include a step of drying and smoking. The must preparation also present light difference with the one of wine production as there’s no activator neither extra nutrients added. But a step of preparation of a so called “Mbii dong” is necessary. “Mbii dong” is a mixture of diluted honey with hot pepper or sometime spices. Some of the accessed physicochemical parameters which include pH, total titrable acidity, residual sugar and total polyphenols indicate similarities with that of mead. It also has to highlight the relatively high alcohol (around 15.4±0.6%) content of the beverage. The recorded values of physicochemical components as alcoholic, volatile acidity, polyphenols… may confirm the fact that a part of festivities, “kuri” can be used as medicines.

Fura is a spontaneously fermented pearl millet product consumed inWest Africa. The yeast species involved in the fermentation were identified by pheno- and genotypic methods to be Candida krusei, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Candida tropicalis, Candida rugosa, Candida fabianii, Candida norvegensis and Trichosporon asahii. C. krusei and K. marxianus were found to be the dominant species. Survival in pH 2.5 or in the presence of bile salts (0.3% (w/v) oxgall) and growth at 37 °C were independently determined as indicators of the survival potential of the isolates during passage through the human gastrointestinal tract. Selected yeast species isolates were assessed for their probiotic potential. All of the examined yeast isolates survived and grewat human gastrointestinal conditions in pH 2.5, 0.3% (w/v) oxgall at 37 °C. The effect on the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) across polarized monolayers of intestinal epithelial cells of human (Caco-2) and porcine (IPEC-J2) origin, were determined. The Caco-2 cells and IPEC-J2 cells displayed clearly different relative TEER results. The strains of C. krusei, K. marxianus, C. rugosa and T. asahii were able to increase the relative TEER of Caco-2 monolayers after 48 h. In comparison, the relative TEER of IPEC-J2 monolayers decreased when exposed to the same yeasts, even though T. asahii did not differ significantly from Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii which is used as a human probiotic. C. tropicalis resulted in the largest relative TEER decrease for both the human and the porcine cell model assays. Hyphal growth was observed for C. albicans and C. tropicalis after 48 h of incubation with polarized Caco-2 monolayers, whereas this was not the case for the remaining yeast species. In the present study new yeast strains with potential probiotic properties have been isolated to be used potentially as starter cultures for fura production.
