- Intervention effect The leaf and fruit oils significantly inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.
- Intervention effect The oils were fungicidal against Candida tropicalis and C. globrata.
- Observation Leaf oil showed greater biological activity than fruit oil.
- Mechanism The authors attributed greater leaf-oil activity to higher p-cymene concentration in leaves.
