Test organisms (species):

other: Clavibacter michiganense,Xanthomonas campestrispv. rhapontici,Klebsiella trevisanii,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027

Details on inoculum:

- Laboratory culture:Bacterial cultures were preserved in Luria Broth and 15% glycerol solution at -80 deg.C prior to use.
- source of Microorganisms:Microorganisms were provided from the Department of Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine and Plant Diagnostic Laboratory,Faculty of Agriculture, Ataturk University,Erzurum, Turkey.
- Method of cultivation:in petri dish
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure:Suspensions (100 μl) of the bacteria, adjusted to 108 cfu/ml final cell concentration, were added to flasks containing 25 ml sterile NA medium and then poured into Petri dishes and spread by a sterile swab (9 cm). 30 mg of each of the compounds were dissolved in 1 ml of methanol and these solutions were sterilized in 0.45 μm milipore filters. Sterilized discs (5 mm) were soaked with 10 μl of each compound solution. These discs were put in the middle of plates containing NA medium.
Penicillin was used as a positive control. For this purpose, 1 mg of penicillin was added into 1 ml sterilized water, and a sterilized disc was soaked with 10 μl of this solution. Bacterial cultures of plant origins were incubated at (27 deg.C), whereas the bacterial cultures of clinic and food origins were incubated at (35 Deg.C) for 6 d. At the end of six-day-periods, inhibition zones were measured in mm. All the tests were made in triplicate.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effects of 21 pure oxygenated monoterpenes, obtained commercially including test chemical Menthone(CAS No.1074-95-9) on the growth of 63 bacterial strains (plant, food and clinic origins).
