“…AMF inoculation and/or HS addition increased the contents of these two components (Table 4). Linalool and estragole are classified as oxygenated monoterpenes and also appeared as the major compounds of the basil EO cultivated with different levels of zinc (Hanif et al, 2017). Table 3.…”

“…Stable oil composition and high amount of its active components are a market prerequisite for medicinal, spice, and aromatic plants. However, such requirements depend on the farming system and environment (Urcoviche et al, 2015;Hanif et al, 2017;Mohr et al, 2017;Lermen et al, 2017).…”

“…Belonging to the family Lamiaceae, basil species originate from tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. The amount of oil extracted from plants can vary in yield, depending on the part of the plant used for extraction, plant age, harvest season, environmental conditions, harvest time, crop seasonality, and soil biotic factors (Urcoviche et al, 2015;Lermen et al, 2015b;Hanif et al, 2017).…”

“…The basil EO has been used in food industries as a flavoring for confectionery, nonalcoholic beverages, ice cream, and condiments, as well as in cosmetic industries (Hanif et al, 2017). Some researchers have reported that antimicrobial activities of the basil EO are predominantly associated with its major constituents: estragole and linalool (Elansary et al, 2016;Mith et al, 2016;Avetisyan et al, 2017;Hanif et al, 2017).…”

ABSTRACT. Mycorrhizal association increases the absorption of water and nutrients by plants, and thus, affects their metabolism. This study aimed at assessing the single and conjoint effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Claroideoglomus etunicatum and soil's humic substances (HS) on the composition of essential oil (EO), its antimicrobial activity, and development of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 x 2-factorial design (with and without AMF and HS) with 10 replications as follows: T1 -without AMF inoculation and without HS addition; T2 -with AMF inoculation and with HS (2 L/ha); T3 -without AMF inoculation and with HS; T4 -with AMF inoculation and with HS. Plants were grown in pots with 5 kg sterile soil in a greenhouse for 6 months. Then, they were harvested and evaluated for spore density, AMF root colonization, shoot dry matter (SDM), yield and chemical composition of EO as well as minimum inhibitory concentration, used to compare the antimicrobial effect of EO in nine bacteria. The addition of HS to the soil increased the spore density of AMF and SDM (P < 0.001). The AMF inoculation with and without HS increased the EO yield of basil (P < 0.001). The treatments altered the composition of the basil EO, in which a total of fourteen compounds were detected. In treatments with AMF and/or HS, linalool (28.64 to 42.94%) and estragole (27.53 to 47.17%) were the major compounds. However, in the control (without AMF and HS), eugenol (33.90%) was the major compound. The EO showed low microbial activity against bacteria Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enterica serovar typhi, Shigella flexneri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Xanthomonas axonopodis pathovar begoniae. AMF inoculation and HS addition could improve the development of basil, increase EO yield, alter the EO chemical composition and its major compounds, but presented low or none microbial activity against most of the bacteria tested in this study.

This is the first study investigating the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) isolated from different tissues of Carissa macrocarpa (Eckl.) A.DC., their antimicrobial activity and the anatomical characters of the aerial organs and the fruits. The main EO components were pentadecanal and tetradecan-1-ol (31.9 and 16.5% in fresh leaf EO, respectively), (E)-nerolidol and caryophyllene oxide (27.3 and 15.0% in fruit EO, respectively), linalool and hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (30.9 and 24.9% in stem EO, respectively), benzyl benzoate (24.3% in flower EO). The fruit EO was more active against Candida albicans (MIC = 0.46 mg/mL) compared to the reference antibiotic (17.66 mg/mL). Furthermore, at this concentration it inhibited all the Gram-positive bacteria. Concerning the anatomical features, it is noteworthy to mention the presence of a large cluster of calcium oxalate crystals inside some parenchymatous cells. Large ducts corresponding to non articulated laticifers were identified in the cortex of leaf, stem and fruit pericarp. The laticifers categories and their distribution are taxonomically important to discriminate this species from others acclimated in different countries. Considering the obtained results, EOs of C. macrocarpa can be a good source of antimicrobial compounds, contributing to solve the problem of microbial resistance to antibiotics.
