- Abstract
The present work was designed to assess the influence of essential oil on mould strains isolated from poultry farms. Seven mould strains isolated from poultry farm: Paecilomyces variotii, Cladosporium herbarum, Fusarium moniliforme, Aspergillus versicolor, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae and seven essential oils: Malaleuca alternifolia, Picea abies L., Citrus paradisii, Citrus aurantium, Eucalypthus globulus, Mentha piperitha, Thymus vulgaris were investigated. It was shown that essential oils Thymus vulgaris and Mentha piperitha on mould strains created 40 mm diameter inhibition zone. In addition, high antifungal activity was obtained using Malaleuca alternifolia essential oil. The antifungal influence of remaining essential oils was markedly lower. However, in the MIC determination assay 0.5% concentration of Thymus vulgaris essential oil had significant antimould activity. The lowest antifungal activity was shown by Picea abies and Citrus paradisii essential oils, which created 10 mm diameter inhibition zones.
