Varying concentrations of eugenol and carvacrol were added to cultures of Cladosporium herbarum to determine their effect on the growth and cell morphology of this common food spoiling mold.

These phenomena were accompanied by macroscopic changes of the colonies in combination with substantial growth inhibitions. Carvacrol possessed a higher antifungal activity than eugenol.
