Chemical Composition and Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oil of Aniba duckei Kosterman

Abstract
This research presented a chemical study of essential oil from Aniba duckei Kostermans, known as rosewood, as well as its test against bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus cereus, Serratia sp., and Vibrio alginolyticus. For control, were used pipemidic acid, ampicillin, cephalothin, cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamicin, oxacillin, tetracycline, and vancomycin antibiotics. Oil yield was 1.2% (m/m) with linalool being its major component, with 89.34%. The essential oil was more efficient than all antibiotics tested against Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio alginolyticus. Linalool was less efficient than the Aniba duckei Kosterman’s essential oil, but more effective than many antibiotics. The essential oil, when tested against Bacillus cereus, was second only to gentamicin, while linalool presented less effectiveness than both gentamicin and tetracycline against the same bacteria. But both oil and linalool were effective against Serratia. The Aniba duckei Kosterman’s essential oil activity was better than linalool’s in all cases due to the oil’s minor components action and synergy between them, which hinder resistance developed by bacteria.
