Table 3. Antifungal activities of kubicin and thymol, solid diffusion test: total inhibition (mm) including disc diameter.
The effects of kubicin (10 µl) and thymol (10 mg, dissolved in DMSO) are shown. Pure DMSO was also used, no inhibition was observed. Results are mean ± SD values of three independent experiments.
| Fungal strains | Kubicin | Thymol | DMSO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aspergillus fumigatus | 35,21 ± 3,00** | 89,33 ± 0,58*** | 0 |
| Alternaria alternata | 0 | 89,66 ± 0,58*** | 0 |
| Chaetomium globosum | 0 | 89,00 ± 1,00*** | 0 |
| Cladosporium cladosporioides | 0 | 88,60 ± 1,53*** | 0 |
| Penicillium chrysogenum | 40,00 ± 2,65** | 88,30 ± 1,16*** | 0 |
| Aureobasidium pullulans | 0 | 88,66 ± 1,53*** | 0 |
| Exophila sp. | 0 | 89,30 ± 1,16*** | 0 |
Notes.
**
p < 0.01.
***
p < 0.001 indicate statistically significant differences compared to each control treatment without test substances (Student’s t-test). 0 mm represents no inhibition.
