The control potential of seven plant essential oils was evaluated against (Matsushima) Nirenberg and Sheldon. The fungicidal activity was assessed through microtiter plate assay to determine the minimum inhibitory and fungicidal concentration of essential oils. The essential oil of was adjudged as best for inhibiting the fungal growth, while oil of and showed high efficacy in terms of fungicidal activity. The oil of and also showed good inhibition activity in agar disc diffusion assay. essential oil was analysed for its composition using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry revealing menthol (63.18 %), menthone (15.08 %), isomenthyl acetate (5.50 %) and limonene (4.31 %) as major components. Significant activity of essential oil against and isolates obtained, pave the way for its use as antifungal control agents.
评估了七种植物精油对(松岛)尼伦伯格和谢尔登的控制潜力。通过微量滴定板试验评估杀菌活性,以确定精油的最低抑菌浓度和杀菌浓度。被判定为抑制真菌生长效果最佳的精油,而和的精油在杀菌活性方面表现出高效性。和的精油在琼脂平板扩散试验中也表现出良好的抑制活性。使用气相色谱/质谱分析法分析了精油的成分,结果显示薄荷醇(63.18%)、薄荷酮(15.08%)、异薄荷基乙酸酯(5.50%)和柠檬烯(4.31%)为主要成分。所获得的精油对和分离株具有显著活性,为其作为抗真菌控制剂的应用铺平了道路。
