“…On the other hand, oleic acid was the major mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), accounting for 21.67% of TFA, while linoleic acid was the most important polyunsaturated fatty acid, with an estimated 55.6% of TFA. Despite their potential role as antimicrobial agents, limited interest in the use of plants or plant extracts was seen in the last century (Gali-Muhtasib et al, 2000), which has changed in recent years, and ethnobotanical research field has expanded (Ghedira, 2006).…”

We investigated the chemical composition (by gas chromatography) and anti-microbial activity of the Tunisian Nigella sativa fixed oil against different standard Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains and Candida isolates by disc diffusion method, and determined the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) values. Twenty three fatty acids were identified in N. sativa fixed oil. Palmitic acid was the major saturated fatty acids (SFA) accounted for 12.2% of the total fatty acid (TFA). For monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), oleic acid was the major one with 21.67% of TFA. Linoleic acid has the most important percentage (58.73% of TFA) and was the major polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). For the antibacterial activity, the best inhibition was seen against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (16.66 mm) and Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 (15.33 mm). The best antifugal activity was found against Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 (13.33 mm) and Candida glabata ATCC 90030 (12 mm). This fixed oil can be used as an antibacterial and antifungal agent each time the MIC values have a good effect on the antibacterial and antifungal activities of the Tunisian N. sativa fixed oil. Our results demonstrate important antibacterial and antifungal activities of the Tunisian N. sativa fixed oil; these effects further validate the traditional use of N. sativa in the folk medicine against bacterial and fungal infection.

Improving the immune system in fish as an effort to prevent fish from disease attacks caused by pathogenic organisms, because disease attacks on fish are projected to continue to grow and cause mass death of cultured fish. Giving immunostimulants as additives to feed can be a strategy to improve the fish's immune system. Immunostimulants are compounds that are able to increase the non-specific immune response or the innate immune response. Nigella sativa L known as "Black Cumin" or Black Seed is one of the natural ingredients that can be used as medicine, including as an immunostimulant to increase the immune system which can prevent disease attacks. The part of the black cumin plant that is efficacious as a medicine for its seeds. The active compounds contained in N. sativa seeds are Thymoquinone, Dithymoquinone, Thymohydriquinone, and Thymol. Nigella sativa can increase the number of white blood cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes as an indicator of an increase in the immune system of fish. Several studies have shown that N. sativa can be used in the field of fisheries, especially to increase the body's resistance to disease. So the purpose of this article is to explain N. sativa as an immunostimulant in cultured fish that can increase the fish's body resistance to disease attacks. Based on the above studies, N. sativa L. seeds in powder or oil form can significantly increase the immune response, reduce mortality and increase the survival rate of fish infected with pathogenic organisms. Therefore, N. sativa L. seeds have the potential to be used as a dietary supplement immunostimulant to help increase the body's resistance to various types of cultured fish against diseasecausing pathogenic organisms. The dose given must be adjusted to the type of fish and the disease.
