PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject agent having low toxicity against warm-blooded animals, inhibiting spore-forming activity of sporogenic fungi, terminating growth of its mycelium and re-growth of it, and hence applicable to sickrooms which house easily infections patients, by including essential oil land so on. SOLUTION: This agent is obtained by including an essential oil such as perilla oil, pieces of a plant (e.g. leaf of green perilla) containing an essential oil, or main components of an essential oil such as carvacrol and timor. A fungus such as Aspergillus fumigatus is exposed to the agent at 1-400 mg/l in a sealed space by heat evaporation and so on, preferably for 2-3 days to prevent spore-formation or for 10-30 min to suppress growth of its mycelium and re-growth of it. Other applicable places include ones to store crop/food and bath room. |
