The Influence of Liquid Medium Choice in Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Essential Oils against Pathogenic Bacteria

Radka Hulankova

Summary: There is currently no internationally accepted, standardized method for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of natural substances like essential oils. This study aimed to compare MIC values obtained from different studies that used various culture media. The results showed that the MIC values for cinnamon essential oil varied depending on the culture media used, with the median values ranging from 465 to 517 μg/mL. The MIC values for oregano essential oil were significantly lower in Mueller-Hinton Broth (MHB) compared to highly nutritious media. Additionally, the lag phase of bacterial growth in the presence of oregano essential oil was much shorter in MHB compared to other media. Therefore, MHB is not recommended for comparing the antimicrobial properties of different essential oils.

Alternaria alternata as endophyte and pathogen

Mara DeMers

Summary: Alternaria alternata is a common fungus species that can be found both as an endophyte and a pathogen in plants. However, doubts remain about the scope of A. alternata within the genus due to its varied symbiotic interactions and wide host range. The unstable taxonomy history of Alternaria and the reliance on limited morphological characters and host specificity associated with toxins have contributed to these doubts.
