Possible antimicrobial properties of essential oils isolated from Tanacetum vulgare L., and Salvia officinalis L., harvested from five different locations in Slovakia, were examined using the disc agar diffusion method and by the microdilution method. GC/MS analysis of the essential oil from Tanacetum vulgare L. resulted in the identification of 16 compounds constituting 82.1% of the total oil. Gram-positive bacteria, mainly Bacillus subtilis, were more susceptible to essential oils from both plants than were gramnegative species. Tested essential oils posses also anti-yeast activity. The shares of the constituents in the essential oils as well as their antimicrobial activity differed in dependence on the locality.

Hydrodistillation of leaves and roots of Espeletiopsis angustifolia Cuatrec. (Asteraceae) yielded 0.18% and 0.15% essential oils, respectively. GC-MS analysis allowed identification of 24 components, which made up 92.9% of the total oil from the leaves, while only 16 compounds (67.2%) were identified in the roots. The most abundant compounds in the leaves were α-pinene (29.9%), β-caryophyllene (14.1%), α-gurjunene (9.9%), β-pinene (9.6%), and 19-oxo-ent-kaur-16-ene (5.3%). In the roots, the main ones were α-pinene (27.9%), β-pinene (10.9%), β-caryophyllene (10.2%), and bicyclogermacrene (8.6%). Antibacterial activity was tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using the agar diffusion method. Activity was observed only against Gram-positive bacteria. MIC values were determined for Staphyloccocus aureus ATCC 25923 (1000 μg/mL, both roots and leaves) and Enteroccocus faecalis ATCC 29212 (240 μg/mL, roots and 360 μg/ mL, leaves).

The compositions of hydrodistillated essential oils of Laser trilobum (L.) Borkh. rhizomes and fruits from Serbia, were investigated using GC and GC/MS. In the dark-blue rhizome oil forty-six compounds (93.1% of the total oil) were identified, with α-pinene (31.5%), γ-terpinene (9.0%), p-cymene (7.9%), β-pinene (6.1%) and 1,4-dimethylazulene (6.0%) as the major components. In the colorless fruits oil, twenty components (96.8% of the total oil) were identified, and the main constituents were limonene (51.6%) and perillaldehyde (26.8%). The antimicrobial activity of the oils was tested using the broth microdilution method against nine bacterial and two fungal strains. The oils revealed significant antimicrobial effect, mainly better than that of thymol, used as a reference compound. The strongest activity was recorded for the rhizome oil against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans (MICs=25 μg/mL), and the fruit oil against C. albicans ATCC 10259 (MIC=12.5 μg/mL).

Essential oils from leaves with young branches of Cotinus coggygria Scop. from two localities in Serbia (Deliblatska pescara and Zemun), obtained by hydrodistillation, were analyzed by GC-MS. Thirty-one component were identified from both oils and among them monoterpenic hydrocarbons were the dominant class (87.4 and 93.1 %). The dominant constituent in both essential oils was limonene (47.0 and 39.2 %). Both oils were also tested for antibacterial and antifungal activities. In comparison to streptomycin, both oils showed slightly higher activity (against most Gram-positive bacteria) in the disc diffusion method and slightly lower activity when the microdilution method was employed. They also exhibited antifungal potential higher than that of the commercial fungicide bifonazole.

<p>The purpose of this study was to assess <em>in vitro</em> the activity of four essential oils (<em>Cymbopogon citratus, Eucalyptus citriodora, Lippia multiflora, Melaleuca quinquenervia</em>) and the biobactericide Neco® on Gram-positive bacteria.</p><p><strong>T</strong>he aromatogram and antibiogram were assessed by the agar well diffusion method and the Muller Hinton disk-agar diffusion method, respectively. Also, the minimum inhibitory concentration and the minimum bactericidal concentration were determined by the microdilution method in liquid medium.</p><p>The aromatogram showed that the biobactericide Neco® induced the largest inhibition diameters (34.53 ± 11.82 - 43.92 ± 5.38 mm) of all strains combined, followed by the essential oils of <em>Eucalyptus Citriodora</em> (30.01 ± 3.02 - 41.89 ± 1.77 mm) and <em>Lippia multiflora</em> (20.72 ± 4.72 - 37.61 ± 2.80 mm). However, the essential oils of <em>Melaleuca quinquenervia</em> (19.99 ± 3.93 - 26.20 ± 13.27 mm) and <em>Cymbopogon citratus</em> (13.52 ± 3.59 - 29.08 ± 2.35 mm) had the smallest inhibition diameters. Moreover, the comparison of the activities of the aromatogram and antibiogram revealed generally that activities were higher with essential oils than with antibiotics.</p><p>At the end of this study, the essential oils of <em>Cymbopogon citratus</em>, <em>Eucalyptus citriodora, Lippia multiflora, Melaleuca quinquenervia</em> and the biobactericide Neco® had an antibacterial activity on Gram+ bacteria.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p>

The chemical composition of four essential oils of four species of sage (Salvia officinalis L., Salvia pratensis L., Salvia glutinosa L. and Salvia aethiopis L) are examined by GC-FID and GC-MS analysis. The presence of some components in the essential oil (mono- and sesquiterpene) determines the pharmacological effects and therapeutical application of a plant species. Salvia officinalis L. gives the highest yield of oil (1.1 %), while the lowest is in Salvia pratensis L. (0.1 %). The investigations included the determination of the antimicrobic activities of the essential oils by the diffusion method and the oil of Salvia pratensis L. proved to have the highest activity.

Hydrodistillation of leaves and roots of Artemisia fragrans Willd. (Asteraceae) yielded 0.9% and 0.1 %(v/w) essential oils, respectively. GC/MS analysis allowed identification of 19 components, which made up 91.1% of the total oil from the leaves, while only 9 compounds (93.8%) were identified in the roots. The main components of the leaf oil were chrysanthenon (23.8%), 1, 8-cineole (23.7%), β-caryophyllene (9.6%), p-cymene (7. 7%), filifolide-A (5.7%) and filifolone (5.7%). In the root oil, the main constituents were camphor (67.0%) and camphene (16.9%). Antibacterial activity was tested against Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria using the agar diffusion method. Activity was observed against two Gram-positive and one Gram- negative bacteria.

Numerous articles on Salvia officinalis L. have been published regarding the composition of their essential oil. The considerable variation found may be due to the quality of the plant material as well as to the methods used for analysis. A simple GC-MS method was developed and optimized in the QbD approach, for the determination of sage essential oils. The optimization of GC-MS analysis was performed using different mobile phase flows, injection volumes, split ratios and temperature programs. The optimized method proved to be simple and can be successfully applied for the determination of sage essential oils.
