Antifungal activity of essential oils against selected terverticillate penicillia
The aim of this study was to screen 15 essential oils of selected plant species, viz. <i>Lavandula angustifolia</i>, <i>Carum carvi</i>, <i>Pinus mungo var. pulmilio</i>, <i>Mentha piperita</i>, <i>Chamomilla recutita</i> L., <i>Pinus...

| description | The aim of this study was to screen 15 essential oils of selected plant species, viz. <i>Lavandula angustifolia</i>, <i>Carum carvi</i>, <i>Pinus mungo var. pulmilio</i>, <i>Mentha piperita</i>, <i>Chamomilla recutita</i> L., <i>Pinus sylvestris</i>, <i>Satureia hortensis</i> L., <i>Origanum vulgare</i> L., <i>Pimpinella anisum</i>, <i>Rosmarinus officinalis</i> L., <i>Salvia officinalis</i> L., <i>Abietis albia etheroleum</i>, <i>Chamomilla recutita</i>, L. <i>Rausch</i>, <i>Thymus vulgaris</i> L., <i>Origanum vulgare</i> L. for antifungal activity against five <i>Penicillium</i> species: <i>Penicillium brevicompactum</i>, <i>Penicillium citrinum</i>, <i>Penicillium crustosum</i>, <i>Penicillium expansum</i> and <i>Penicillium griseofulvum</i>. The method used for screening included the disc diffusion method. The study points out the wide spectrum of antifungal activity of essential oils against <i>Penicillium</i> fungi. There were five essential oils of the 15 mentioned above which showed a hopeful antifungal activity: <i>Pimpinella anisum</i>, <i>Chamomilla recutita</i> L., <i>Thymus vulgaris</i>, <i>Origanum vulgare</i> L. The most hopeful antifungal activity and killing effect against all tested penicillia was found to be <i>Origanum vulgare</i> L. and <i>Pimpinella anisum</i>. The lowest level of antifungal activity was demonstrated by the oils <i>Pinus mungo var. pulmilio</i>, <i>Salvia officinalis</i> L., <i>Abietis albia etheroleum</i>, <i>Chamomilla recutita</i> L. <i>Rausch</i>, <i>Rosmarinus officinalis</i>. |
