this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different doses of salvia mirzayanii essential oils on gas production parameters, fermentation characteristics using gas production and dual flow continuous culture system. trearments in the gas production experiment was adding 0, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000, 2400 and 4800 mg/l of salvia mirzayanii essential oils to the media. in the second ...

Processes of colonization of biotic and abiotic surfaces and biofilm formation depend inter alia on hydrophobic properties of Candida spp. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of tea tree, thyme and clove essential oils on hydrophobic properties of environmental and clinical Candida isolates. The relative cell surface hydrophobicity of strains tested was high, and ranged from 68...

growth inhibition of aspergillus fumigatus,aspergillus flavus and fusarum solani exposed to the essential oils including thyme, agastache and satureja were studied. disc diffusion method was used to evaluate the fungal growth inhibitory effects of the essential oils. minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) and minimal fungicidal concentration (mfc) of the oils were determined and compared with e...

BACKGROUND The main objective of this study was the phytochemical characterization of four indigenous essential oils obtained from spices and their antibacterial activities against the multidrug resistant clinical and soil isolates prevalent in Pakistan, and ATCC reference strains. METHODS Chemical composition of essential oils from four Pakistani spices cumin (Cuminum cyminum), cinnamon (Cin...

background & aim: the major aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the essential oils from five medicinal plants. experimental: the hydro-distillation essential oils from five plant species, including satureja bachtiarica, zataria multiflora, thymus daenensis, thymus carmanicus, and ziziphora tenuior (lamiaceae) which are endemic in iran. in-vitro antibacterial tes...

Growth of fruits which form an important part of human diet has been jeopardized by the many fungal diseases that are present today. This study was conceived to isolate the most common fungal pathogens in passion fruits. Fungi were isolated using potato dextrose agar in addition to characterization using morphological, cultural, and biochemical means. Extraction of essential oils from rosemary ...

The essential oils of branchlets and fruits of Juniperus excelsa subsp. excelsa and Juniperus excelsa subsp. polycarpos were examined for their antioxidant activity. The compositions of the essential oils were studied by GC and GC-MS. To evaluation the antioxidants activity of the volatile oils, pure components and positive controls at different concentrations, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) s...
