“…F. oxysporum was more susceptible to eugenol, trans-anethole and hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid) than B. cinerea whereas isoeugenol was more active against the latter. Our results are coherent with those from literature (Zabka & Pavela, 2013). The relatively close IC values for the two fungi could be related to the same affinity of PPs for the membrane of both fungi since the toxicity of essential oil components is generally due to their interaction with cell membranes (Khan et al, 2010).…”

“…Recent studies suggested that these metabolites could be used to develop ecocompatible and safe fungicides and preservatives (Amorati, Foti, & Valgimigli, 2013) or as raw materials to synthesize more active agents (Bhatti et al, 2014). Indeed, phenylpropanoids (PPs) family is recognized to have potent activities against a wide range of bacteria and fungi (Dambolena, Lopez, Meriles, Rubinstein, & Zygadlo, 2012;Khan et al, 2010;Zabka & Pavela, 2013). Furthermore, it has been shown that some PPs could show synergistic effects on the activities of antifungal agents (Fujita, Fujita, & Kubo, 2007).…”

“…They can be diverted to synthesize higher alcohols like isobutyl alcohol and 2-methyl-butanol, also reported in this study (Atsumi et al 2008). It is also possible that the minor constituents determined here such as, isovaleric acid, isobutyric acid, 2-methyl-butyric acid, 3-hydroxy-3-butanone, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol and 2-phenyl ethyl acetate may be involved in certain mechanism of antifungal synergism (Bajpai et al 2008, Zabka & Pavela 2013 along with other active components in Candida guilliermondii fermentation.…”

Post-harvest losses in tomato crops can be accredited to a number of causes, which include biological causes that produce physiological deterioration; infection caused by diseases and pests that cause rotting. In this study, we assayed, in vitro and in vivo, the yeast Candida guilliermondii to determine its effectiveness as a biocontrol to reduce the rotting produced by Rhizopus stolonifer on tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum). The antagonistic effect was tested using a yeast biomass suspension; gas chromatography and a mass selective detector were used to identify its metabolites. According to the in vitro test, the only phase with an antagonistic response against Rhizopus stolonifer was the unfiltered water phase. In the in vivo tests, the biomass of Candida guilliermondii presented the highest percentage of protection of the tomato (87 %) compared with the unfiltered aqueous phase and the unconcentrated organic phase, which reached only 77 and 80 % respectively. These results are essential to avoid economic losses caused by fungi and to increase the shelf life of tomatoes improving the distribution of the product and preventing postharvest losses in this time of food crises, especially in developing countries.

“…Los resultados aquí obtenidos concuerdan con estudios previos realizados in vitro sobre el desempeño del timol como antifúngico sobre un amplio espectro de hongos [13][14][15], en particular PERINA et al [15], reportan la activad de dicho compuesto contra A. alternata con resultados muy favorables. Incluso se ha reportado la utilización del timol en conservación del papel [11], en plásticos para conservar alimentos [16][17][18], y otros usos más conocidos, como productos de higiene bucal y fármacos [12].…”

RESUMENLa colonización microbiana en el interior de los edificios preocupa en forma creciente no solo por el deterioro estético que puede ocasionar en los revestimientos sino por los problemas de salud que causan los microorganismos en personas con bajas defensas o con problemas respiratorios. En este sentido, la limpieza es fundamental para mantener las condiciones de higiene, por esto es que existen algunos productos comerciales que ayudan a la prevención y eliminación de los mohos en los revestimientos.El timol (2-isopropil-5-metilfenol) es un monoterpeno que se encuentra como compuesto principal de varios aceites esenciales, como el de orégano y tomillo. Hay numerosos estudios que muestran el buen desempeño "in vitro" de este compuesto como antimicrobiano y desinfectante. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar el desempeño del timol sobre las películas de pintura como potencial compuesto a utilizar en líquidos fungicidas para controlar la incidencia y propagación de los mohos. Para los ensayos se utilizaron paneles pintados que se colocaron sobre papel de filtro humedecido en placas de Petri. Se inocularon con una solución de esporas del hongo Alternaria alternata. Por último, se roció un grupo de paneles con una solución de timol y otro con un fungicida comercial. Como controles se utilizaron paneles rociados con el solvente del timol (etanol) y paneles sin rociar. Se incubaron a 28ºC por 2 meses. Se observó que el spray de timol inhibió el crecimiento del hongo sobre el panel pintado mientras que el producto comercial y los controles no lo inhibieron. Por lo tanto, el uso de timol resulta una alternativa natural para la formulación de productos destinados a la prevención del desarrollo de los mohos sobre las superficies pintadas.Palabras clave: Actividad antifúngica, Timol, Pintura, spray. ABSTRACTThe microbial colonization is an issue of increasing concern inside buildings not only because of causing aesthetic damages in coatings but also for developing diseases in persons with low-defense systems or respiratory problems. In this sense, cleaning is fundamental to maintain the hygienic conditions and some commercial products that help to prevent and eliminate moulds in coatings have been developed.The aim of this research was to study the performance of thymol onto paint films as a potential compound to be used in fungicide liquids to control the incidence and spread of moulds. Thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol) is a monoterpene found as the main compound in various essential oils, such as thyme and oregano. Numerous "in vitro" studies have shown the good performance of this compound as an antimicrobial and disinfectant. Painted panels were placed on moistened filter paper in Petri and, a spore solution of Alternaria alternata, an environmental fungus was inoculated onto the paint. Finally, a set of panels was sprayed with a solution of thymol and another set with a commercial product. Sprayed panels with the thymol solvent (ethanol) and not sprayed panels were used as controls. Petri dishes were ...
