In the study, 2-n-Octy1-4-isothiazolin-3-one containing commercial fungicides were also used for control. During the microbiologic tests (ASTM D 4576-86/ 91), the growth of mould species like Aspergillus niger, Altemaria altemata, Penicillium chrysogenum and Trichodenna auroviride that cause problems in leather industry were also investigated against these essential oil and fungicide. As a result of this study, it has been determined that oregano essential oil has most effective antifungal activity.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLeather industryPicklingTanningEssential oilRosmarinus officinalisMyrtus communis and Origanum sp.Conference Object118122WOS:000394471400023N/A
