Mycelia growth inhibition of some Aspergillus and Fusarium species by essential oils and their potential use as antiradical agent

Abstract: The essential oils extracted from Lippia rugosa and Plectranthus glandulosus leaves from Cameroon were analysed by GC-MS and evaluated for their antifungal activities against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium moniliforme common fungi causing spoilage of stored food product, and antiradical activities. The disc diffusion method was used to evaluate the fungal growth inhibition at various concentrations of oils while the antiradical activity was studied by the DPPH (diphenyl picryl hydrazyl) met… Show more

“…Fusarium and Aspergillus spp. are common maize pathogens having high specialisation in infecting crops, causing stem and ear rots [8]. Increased susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses is because of not only the deprivation of essential plant nutrient but also the reduction in silicon content in soil as well as plants [9].…”

“…Fusarium and Aspergillus spp. are highly specialized in infecting crops, according to Aoudou et al ( 2011 ). The application of SiO 2 NPs to maize plants has indicated improved leaf transpiration rates under water stress (Kaya et al 2006 ; Gao et al 2006 ).…”
