These mushrooms are widely used for its antibacterial properties and as a source of protein in Saudi Arabia and many other Crude extracts countries around the world. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been known for MRSA its virulence and multidrug resistant that became threat for hospital employees and community members. Present study was designed to test the common occurrence of MRSA isolates in hospital Terfezia claveryi employees and patients by nasal swab samplings and then evaluate the antibacterial potential of desert truffles against these MRSA. PCR assays revealed that 17 (34%) bacterial isolates of nasal carriage Terfezia nivea found MRSA positive while in case of gender no significant association was reported in MRSA positive males and females. Further it was also reported that highest rate of MRSA positive isolates was found for the age group of 20-29 years, among the youngest participants. For testing antibacterial potential of Desert truffles, two wells of 6 mm diameter were punched on Muller-Hinton Agar that already had MRSA culture, one of them filled cautiously with 100μl of Terfezia claveryi extract and the other one with 100μl of Terfezia nivea, stored at 4℃ for 2 hours. After incubation at 37℃ for 24 h, the fresh crude extracts of T. claveryi showed a significant zone of inhibition (27±7.75mm) while this inhibition was reported (22.5±11.26mm) in case of T. nivea. These findings clearly indicated that extracts has remarkable * Corresponding author All the article published by Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences is licensed under a E-mail: [email protected] (Dr. Munazza Gull) Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License Based on a work at www.jebas.org.

Desert effective. Ancient literatures suggest the use of desert truffles as truffles comprise a vast unexploited therapeutic compounds such an alternative of commercial antibiotics (Wang & Marcone, 2011; as phenolics, tocopherols, ascorbic acid and carotenoids which Patel et al., 2017; Schillaci et al., 2017). have remarkable medicianl properties along with antioxidant potential (Al-Laith, 2010; Balboa et al., 2013; Özyürek et al., Desert truffles are hypogenous fungi that have been used as 2014; Sanjeewa et al., 2016; Gargano et al., 2017; Pinteus et al., medicine and food for centuries in Saudi Arabia and many other 2017). countries around the world (Lo & Kam, 2006; Al-Qarawi & Mridha, 2012; Charoensiddhi et al., 2017). According to the local Desert truffles have nutritional value due to their proteins, experts, these truffles grew in very rare environment when limited carbohydrates, fats, fibers, and low energy. They also have rain occurred between February to April. When there is more rain immune-modulating, hepatoprotective, antidepressant, falls, the chances to have high yield of truffles increased. After antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, and antiradical 40-50 days of the first rain fall people start searching truffles in properties due to their content of phenol, carotenoid, anthocyanin, cracks formed on the ground (Sawaya et al., 2006; Hamza et al., ascorbic acid, flavonoid, tannin, glycoside, ergosterol, etc. Hence, 2016a). The interactions between growing truffles are very vital in the introduction of desert truffles in the pharmacological field is ecological systems as the mycorrhizal species have the potential important, especially in the treating of eye infections and cancer to avoid erosion and desertification by sand stabilization. (Janakat & Nassar, 2010; Hamza et al., 2016b; Khadri et al., 2017; Mycorrhizal fungi also modify water relations in host plants Owaid, 2018). Moreover, studies on higher mushrooms showed (Benzeggouta, 2014). Among various reported species of desert antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas truffles two types “T. nivea and T. claveryi” are very common in aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus (Imtiaj & Lee, 2007).

Among these two, T. nivea is locally known as Zubaidi and had a meat like texture with white Staphylococcus is common nasal bacteria can cause serious colored skin while T. claveryi is similar to the potatoes in texture infectious diseases in skin and other mucous membranes and at and have brown colored skin and locally known as Khalasi.

Antioxidant (scavenging activity, reducing power and inhibition of lipid peroxidation) and antibacterial activity of its methanolic extract alone and in combination with potassium metabisulfite (E224) were evaluated under in vitro conditions. Furthermore, the effect of the extract on the control of Staphylococcus aureus was examined in a contaminated soup under in situ conditions. T. pinoyi was showed to be rich in carbohydrates (82.60 g/100 g dw) and proteins (8.06 g/100 g dw), being identified four free sugars (rhamnose, fructose, trehalose and mannitol) and three tocopherol isoforms (β-, δ- and γ-tocopherols).

It aims focused on (i) the identification of desert truffle species with a morphometric characterization, (ii) the determination of their geographical distribution, and (iii) the description of the edaphic, climatic and geomorphological characteristics of their natural habitat. The harvest of 78 truffle fruiting bodies from seven different locations resulted in the identification of three species of the family Pezizaceae: Terfezia arenaria (Moris) Trappe, Terfezia claveryi Chatin and Tirmania nivea (Desf.) Trappe. These hypogeous ascomycetes live in mycorrhizal association with Helianthemum lippii (Cistaceae). Desert truffles grow in heterogeneous soils of sandy texture, moderately calcareous (10.19 ± 1.37%), slightly alkaline (7.87 ± 0.22), with low organic matter (0.86 ± 0.1%) and slight phosphorus contents. The development of desert truffles is closely linked with high rainfall occurring during fall and/or winter. The truffles colonize desert depressions "Dayas" and beds of Wadis, since these geomorphological zones accumulate rainwater, which promotes the growth of both truffles and its host–plant.

This study aims to characterize the germination of Terfezia boudieri Chatin that would be important to isolate homokaryotic hyphae. Ascocarps of T. boudieri were collected from the southeast of Tunisia. Ascospores germination was tested on three culture media: Malt extract agar 1%, Melin Nokrans modified and the Potato dextrose agar. The germination was only observed on Malt extract agar 1% medium and germinating rate was in order of 4%. Isolation of germinating hyphae was successful. These hyphae derived from two material, i.e., from a single ascospore and from ascospore inside asci. Keywords: Ascomycota, ascospore, culture media, germination, hyphae, Terfezia boudieri Chatin., Tunisia. 1. Introduction Truffles are one of the most appreciated edible fungi in the world. From these fungi, those of desert were affiliated to Terfeziaceae family [1] then included in Pezizaceae [2].

The Terfezia pfeilii is one of the most highly sought-after food sources in the Kalahari, particularly among marginal groups such as the Basarwa (Bushmen) for whom these fungi represent an important source of nutrients-as well as food security, since they may be dried for later consumption. Due to the environmental degradation caused by livestock and drought conditions, truffles have become much less abundant in the vicinity of their villages than they used to be.
