Fish production is about 75 000 tons/ year which is about 42 % of national production(180 000 tons). So far 38 species of fish have been identified in Cameroon’s continental waters, (Hamidou, 2008).Loss of aquatic diversity has been attributed to: various forms of pollution, over-exploitation, habitats degradation, poor capacity building, nonoptimization of use of traditional knowledge. 1.2.3.5 MICROBIAL BIODIVERSITY Microbial diversity in Cameroon has been classified under bacteria, fungi and viruses. These three classes influence the Cameroon economy in the areas of agriculture, forestry, health, commerce and industries. Reporting on microbial biodiversity Nwaga (1998) they are a potential which is unexploited in Cameroon and can be useful to produce many products such as beverages, food, proteins, solvents, bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides and minerals. The Identifications carried out so far resulted to the summary outlined below (see inventory of mycorrhizal mushrooms and Fig15) 38
The main microbial groups reported are:- Mushrooms: - Basidiomycotina (Boletus, Edible, Mycorrhizal) - Glomeromycotina (Mycorhizas, Biofertilizers including 45 identified species, ) - Deuteromycotina (Pathogens for bio-control or food technology) Trichoderma - Mastigomycotina (pathogens, Saprophytes; Phytophthora, Agent causing black pod disease in cocoa) - Ascomycotina (Saccharomyces) used in beer and alcohol manufacture - Lichens (101 species identified) Species of Mycorrhizal fungi found in forest soils of the Tropical Dense Forest Ecosystem Acalauspora scrobiculata Trappe • Acalauspora mellea Spain &Schenk • Acalauspora rugosa Morton • Acalauspora denticulata Sieverding & Toro • Entrophospora Columbiana Spain • Scutellospora calospora (Nil. & Gerd.)

Gerd. & Trappe Source: Nwaga 2007 Fig. 15; Mycorrhizal Fungal diversity in Cameroon Through the correct use of mushrooms and bacteria, it is possible to produce a variety of products which can be useful for domestic purposes and for the improvement of the economy as evidenced from the use of bio-fertilizers from mycorrhizal fungi, legume nodulating bacteria and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria, fig 16. Mycorrhizal Root nodules 2 products developed 1-Mycorrhizal fertilizer for all crops 2- Rhizobia:fertilizer for legumes 3- MSP: on-going bio-stimulant. These bio-fertilizers have been tested in farms since 1996 in collaboration with IRAD, IITA and CARBAP in the Northern provinces, in the Western and Southern provinces of Cameroon; they have been recommended by the Cameroon committee Bio-science since 2001 and have been proved to improve yield from 50 to 200% according to the particular crop and the soil. Fig.16: Biofertilizers developed from mycorrhizal fungi and legume nodulating bacteria However, it has been noticed that the use of microbial diversity has not been fully maximized in Cameroon as is the case of nitrogen fixing bacteria for legumes and the control of banana plantain nematodes. 39
