          Abstract

          Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, Lauraceae, has long been known for having many biological properties. This study aimed to identify the constituents of the essential oil from C. zeylanicum leaves using GC-MS and to assess its inhibitory effect on Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa based on MIC and MBC determination and kill-time study. Eugenol (73.27%) was the most prevalent compound in the essential oil followed by trans-β-cariophyllene (5.38%), linalool (3.31%), and alcohol cinamic acetate (2.53%). The results showed an interesting antibacterial activity of the oil with MIC ranging from 1.25 to 10 µL.mL-1. MBC values were in the range of 20 - 80 µL.mL-1. A concentration of 10 and 40 µL.mL-1 of the essential oil caused a fast and steady decrease in viable cell count (2 to 5 log cycles) of all assayed strains along 24 hours. A concentration of 40 µL.mL-1 of the oil provided a total elimination of the initial inocula of S. aureus after 2 hours. These results show the possibility of regarding the essential oil from C. zeylanicum leaves as alternative sources of antimicrobial compounds to be applied in food conservation systems.

          Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, Lauraceae, é uma espécie vegetal reconhecida, a longo tempo, como possuidora de muitas propriedades biológicas. Este estudo objetivou identificar os constituintes do óleo essencial das folhas de C. zeylanicum, utilizando CG-EM, e avaliar seu efeito inibitório sobre Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus e Pseudomonas aeruginosa através da determinação da CIM e CBM, bem como através da análise do tempo de morte bacteriana. Eugenol (73,27%) foi o composto mais prevalente no óleo essencial, seguido por trans-β-cariofileno (5,38%), linalol (3,31%) e álcool acetato cinâmico (2,53%). Os resultados mostraram uma interessante atividade antibacteriana do óleo essencial com CIM, variando de 1,25 a 10 µL.mL-1. Os valores de CBM oscilaram entre 20 e 80 µL.mL-1. O óleo essencial na concentração de 10 e 40 µL.mL-1 causou uma rápida e constante diminuição (2 a 5 ciclos logarítmicos) na contagem de células viáveis de todas as cepas ensaiadas ao longo de 24 horas. O óleo essencial na concentração de 40 µL.mL-1 causou uma total eliminação do inóculo inicial de S. aureus depois de 2 horas. Estes resultados mostram a possibilidade do uso do óleo essencial extraído das folhas de C. zeylanicum como uma fonte alternativa de compostos antimicrobianos para aplicação em sistemas de conservação de alimentos.

              Effects of tea tree oil on Escherichia coli.

              Tea tree oil (TTO) stimulates autolysis in exponential and stationary phase cells of Escherichia coli. Electron micrographs of cells grown in the presence of TTO showed the loss of electron dense material, coagulation of cell cytoplasm and formation of extracellular blebs. Stationary phase cells demonstrated less TTO-stimulated autolysis and also had greater tolerance to TTO-induced cell death, compared to exponentially grown cells. It was also revealed that subpopulation of stationary phase cells demonstrated increased tolerance to TTO-bactericidal effects.
