Abstract

Ocimum gratissimum (clove basil), Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), and Mentha arvensis (corn mint) are common Vietnamese herbs with great antibacterial activity. This study was conducted to showcase the feasibility of utilizing these herbs for disease management in aquaculture, shrimp farming in particular. Firstly, these herbs’ components were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Their antimicrobial activity was then assessed against three strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp with three colony types on CHROMagar Vibrio by the disc diffusion method, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined. The results showed that the three studied bacterial strains were sensitive to three tested essential oils. VE1 strain, which formed type 1 colony on CHROMagar Vibrio, was the most sensitive to corn mint, lemongrass and clove basil essential oils with MIC values of 0.16%, 0.08%, and 0.08% (v/v), respectively. Meanwhile, MIC values of the aforementioned essential oils in the strains forming type 2 and 3 colonies (VE2 and VE3) were 0.32%, 0.08%, and 0.16% (v/v), respectively. These results indicate a potential application of lemongrass, corn mint and clove basil essential oils in AHPND disease control in shrimp. In order to increase the applicability of these essential oils, further studies on their synthesis in micro-emulsions and evaluation of their effectiveness should be carried out.
