“…Essential oils from O. tenuiflorum showed strong inhibition against all the tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria from 25% (v/v) concentration. Similar trends of antibacterial activities of O. tenuiflorum essential oils were reported in the literature where the diameter of zones of inhibition (mm) were dose dependent (Janssen et al, 1989;khan et al, 2015;Pandey et al, 2014). The Gas chromatography -Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed the presence of alcohols and phenols (63%) as the major active groups (Chand et al, 2016).…”

“…Silva et al (2013) also reported constant involuntary muscular contractions followed by mortality in silver catfish Rhamdia quelen submitted to Lippia sidoides, and Benovit et al (2012) reported the same in flounder anaesthetized with Aloysia gratissima. Basil oil and its main component, methyl chavicol (estragole) are recognized as potential pesticides (Kim and Lee, 2014;Pandey et al, 2014) and, according to Kirby et al (2000), some insecticides are potent neurotoxins and exert their toxicity by blocking the breakdown of acetylcholine (ACh), the primary neurotransmitter in the sensory and neuromuscular systems of fish. The production of excessive muscular stimulus can be related to the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the muscles due to this possible increase of ACh levels, which may also result in tetany, paralysis and eventual death (Kirby et al, 2000).…”

“…Basil has an analgesic effect in humans, providing a local anaesthetic effect, and is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant (Bilal et al, 2012;Pandey et al, 2014). Nevertheless, scientific studies about its use as an anaesthetic or analgesic in fish is unknown.…”

“…Óleos essenciais extraídos de várias espécies de Ocimum têm sido referidos como sendo ativos contra bactérias, assim como contra leveduras e fungos, devido a seus constituintes terpênicos (Pandey et al 2014). Para o OEOg, a inibição de fungos pode ser justificada pela grande porcentagem de eugenol, composto fenólico antisséptico de ação já conhecida (Daferera et al, 2003;Costa et al, 2011).…”
