T HYMUS and Salvia are among the most popular plants both in traditional medicine and in the culinary arts. This study has the aims to detect the chemical composition of the extracts and the powder of Thymus zygis L. (T) and Salvia officinalis L. (S) collected from the Fez-Meknes region. Two extracts were prepared: aqueous and essential oil. Phytochemical tests were performed to qualitatively evaluate the presence or absence of phytoconstituents using standard methods. The essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Two powder analyses were performed: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and elemental analysis. The drying of both plants took a similar amount of time with a noticeable loss in weight for Salvia . The phytochemical screening revealed the abundant presence of terpenoids, catechic tannins, steroids and sterols in the two plants. GC/MS analysis showed richness in carvacrol for Thymus zygis L. and in thujone for Salvia officinalis L. The analysis by FTIR showed characteristic peak readings of various functional groups in the powders, citing proteins, aliphatic compounds, carbonyl compounds and aromatic rings. In the elemental analysis, there is a high carbon content for Thymus and Salvia (T: 66.70%, S: 53.34%), followed by oxygen (T: 36.45%, S: 37.88%) and hydrogen (T: 6.08%, S: 5.61%). Altogether, this study highlights the richness of these two species in chemical compounds that can be used in the pharmaceutical industry.

H YDROGEN (H 2 ) is expected to become the most sustainable and promising clean alternative fuel in the future. This study evaluated the potential of a new facultative anaerobic bacterium isolated from cow rumen to produce H 2 from sugarcane molasses. The bacterial isolate RM122 produced 451.67 ±12.14 and 387.67 ±19.23mL/L H 2 on 6% glucose and 6% molasses sugar, respectively. RM122 was characterized phenotypically, identified genotypically by 16S rRNA sequence analysis as Escherichia marmotae, and deposited in NCBI GenBank database with the accession number OP345936. H 2 production was improved to 1670.00 ±40.41mL/L by application of optimization experiments design and kinetic study. Sugarcane molasses was used as a fermentation substrate and the optimum sugar concentration was 4%, The recorded maximum hydrogen production (H max ) was 560.00±25.98mL/L with R max (maximum hydrogen production rate) of 31.43 ±2.14mL/L/h, R max (MGM) of 30.73 mL/ L/h and λ (lag phase) of 15.19h for 52.43 fermentation time. H max of 646.67 ±23.33mL/L with R max (Exp) of 35.28 ±2.65mL/L/h, R max (MGM) of 31.90mL/L/h, λ of 13.92h and R 2 of 0.9999 were obtained at the optimum pH 8. At the optimum fermentation temperature (35°C), λ of 4.12h was achieved to maximize hydrogen production to 828.33 ±21.67mL/L with R max (MGM) of 27.98mL/L/h, and R 2 of 0.9594. At the optimum inoculum size (10%, v/v), the recorded H max was 1670.00 ±40.41mL/L with R max (Exp) of 60.00 ±2.04mL/L/h and λ of 13.50h. These findings suggest using E. marmotae RM122 as a prospective biohydrogen producer from cheap agro-industrial wastes.
