Published: April 2003

From the leaves of Microbiota decussata (Cupressaceae) biflavones: cupressuflavone, amentoflavone and 7-O-methylamentoflavone were isolated and identified. The amount of cupressuflavone in Microbiota decussata and xCupressocyparis leylandii (Leyland cypress) (Cupressaceae) was determined by HPLC (1.82% and 0.83%, respectively). The chemical composition of essential oils from bark and leaves of Microbiota decussata was established by GC-MS (GC-FID) analysis. As a major component thujopsene (39.2% and 45.9%, respectively) was identified. Wiridiflorol (3.0%) and tau-muurolol (0.3%) were present only in leaves but globulol (1.5%) exclusively in bark. The content of essential oils in M. decussata was high--5.4% in bark and 12.6% in leaves. The essential oils from M. decussata and xC. leylandii were bioassayed towards different fungi of the genus Fusarium. Leyland cypress essential oil at 2% concentration fully inhibited the growth of all fungi.

A group of five Gram-negative strains isolated from clams (Venerupis decussata and Venerupis philippinarum) in Galicia (NW Spain) were analyzed using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strains were non-motile, strictly aerobic rods, and formed yellow-pigmented colonies. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the clam isolates belonged to the Lacinutrix genus, within the Flavobacteriaceae family, and showed the highest sequence similarities with Lacinutrix mariniflava (97.
