Summary: Abstract: The main limitation of the micropropagation of camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) is related to in vitro contamination. In order to overcome contamination, the effect of essential oils was studied as an alternative to conventional chemical treatments. This study aimed to analyze the action of essential oils from four condiment and medicinal plants (Oregano, Origanum vulgare L.; Garlic, Allium sativum L.; Citronella, Cymbopogon nardus L.; and Ginger, Zingiber officinale Rosc.) in reducing microbial contamination growth and on the survival rate of explants in the micropropagation of camu-camu. Resumo: A micropropagação de camu-camu (Myrciaria dúbia) tem como principal limitação a contaminação in vitro. A fim de superar a contaminação, o efeito dos óleos essenciais foi estudado como alternativa aos tratamentos químicos convencionais. Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a ação dos óleos essenciais de quatro plantas condimentares e medicinais (Orégano, Origanum vulgare L.; Alho, Allium sativum L.; Citronela, Cymbopogon nardus L.; Gengibre, Zingiber officinale Rosc.) na redução de contaminação microbiana e sobre a taxa de sobrevivência dos explantes na micropropagação de camu-camu.
