Presentation of Laboratory Main objective Local production of Biopesticides (Bioinsecticides,Biofungicides, and Antibiotics) using strains isolated in the Laboratory and of interest, useful in agriculture and public health and for the protection of the environment. Expected effects Development of local Biopesticides industries and biofarming promotion. Research & Development: Biopesticides from Microorganisms, plants and algae useful in Biological Agriculture and public health and for the protection of the environment:  Bioinsecticides, Biofungicides, Antibiotics, Antioxydants … Integrated Pest Management: Biological treatment of pathogens (insects, fungi, bacteria, parasites…) of plants, food industry and human health disease vectors. Microbial strains producing active biomolecules against pathogens of agriculture, environment and human health: Isolation and molecular identification of microorganisms of interest Cloning and study of the expression of the corresponding genes Heterologous expression Study of the interaction Toxin-Receptor Production of Biopesticides by fermentation at different scales and purification Extraction, purification, characterization and use of active molecules extracted from plants and algae Supervision of research projects for students preparing: PhD Master degree Engineering  degree Offers of training opportunities for Tunisian and foreigners Services for public and private sectors in the domains of biotechnologies scientific and technical support for industry   Number Researchers 10 Engineers 1 Technicians 2 PhD students 11 Finished PhD 7 Academic habilitation 2
