Antifungal activity of australian grown lavandula spp. essential oils against aspergillus nidulans, trichophyton mentagrophytes, leptosphaeria maculans and sclerotinia sclerotiorum / Therese Moon in The journal of essential oil research, Vol. 19 N°2 (Mars-Avril 2007) 

Public ISBD [article]  in The journal of essential oil research > Vol. 19 N°2 (Mars-Avril 2007) . - pp. 171-175 Titre : Antifungal activity of australian grown lavandula spp. essential oils against aspergillus nidulans, trichophyton mentagrophytes, leptosphaeria maculans and sclerotinia sclerotiorum Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Therese Moon, Auteur ; Heather M.A. Cavanagh, Auteur ; Jenny M. Wilkinson, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp. 171-175 Note générale : Génie Chimique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Lavandula  angustifolia  Lavandula  x  allardii  Lavandula  x  intermedia  Lavandula  heterophylla  Lavandula  stoechas  Laminaceae  Lavender  Essential  oil  composition  Linalool  Linalyl  acetate  Camphor  1,8-cineole  Fenchone  Hydrosols  Antifungal  activity Résumé : In this study the antifungal activity of eight essential oils and three hydrosols (aqueous distillates) from Australian grown lavenders was determined. The oils and hydrosols were assayed against four fungi, Aspergillus nidulans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Leptosphaeria maculans and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, using a disc diffusion method. No evidence of antifungal activity was observed with any of the hydrosols. In contrast, all oils displayed some antifungal activity. Lavandula angustifolia and the three examples of Lavandula x intermedia oil demonstrated the greatest effect against A. nidulans and T. mentagrophytes while L. stoechas was particularly effective against the two agricultural fungi, L. maculans and S. sclerotiorum. No significant difference was observed between the antifungal activity of L. angustifolia oils derived from European and Australian grown plants. These results suggest that the oils from various Lavandula species may be useful in the treatment of fungal infections.

Which is better for disc diffusion assays of essential oils—isosensitest or nutrient agar? / Therese Moon in The journal of essential oil research, Vol. 18 N° 5 (Septembre-Octobre 2006)

Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Therese Moon, Auteur ; Heather M.A. Cavanagh, Auteur ; Jenny M. Wilkinson, Auteur Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : pp. 578-580 Note générale : Génie Chimique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Antimicrobial  activity  Disc  diffusion  Iso-sensitest  Lavender  oil  Lavandin  oil  Lavandula  allardi Résumé : The disc diffusion assay is often used for screening of essential oils for antimicrobial activity. In this paper we describe an investigation into whether differences exist in the zone of inhibition obtained with two agar types; IsoSensitest and nutrient agar. Standard disc diffusion assay was performed using both agar types using three essential oils against two bacteria and one yeast. Statistically significant differences in the size of zone of inhibition were recorded for the two agar types however differences were not found consistently across essential oil or organism types. These data suggest that there is a complex interaction between bacteria, the oil being assayed and agar type and that no generalizations about the superiority of one agar or another can be made.
