RésuméLe rendement, la composition chimique et les propriétés antibactérienne et antifongique de l'huile essentielle extraite de la biomasse foliaire de Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) du Khémisset (Maroc) ont été étudiés. La teneur moyenne en huile essentielle des feuilles de cette espèce est 0,22 % par rapport à la matière sèche. Trente quatre composés ont été identifiés par GC et GC/MS ; l'acétate de bornyle (30,74 %), l'α-pinène (23,54 %), le camphre (17,27 %) et le limonène (23,31 %) constituent les principaux composés de cette huile. Une forte activité inhibitrice vis-à-vis de six microorganismes utilisés a été enregistrée.Mots-clés.

La qualité et la variabilité de la composition chimique de l’huile essentielle isolée de tronc de Tetraclinis articulata ont été étudiées dans trois régions bien représentatives dans la tétraclinaie marocaine. Les rendements moyens obtenus par hydrodistillation sont de 1,10 % pour la région de Debdou (Maroc oriental), 2,70 % pour Essaouira nord (Haut Atlas) et 1,45 % pour Ben Karrich (Rif occidental). L’analyse par CPG et GC/MS a permis de mettre en évidence cinq constituants majoritaires dans chaque localité. Ces constituants présentent une variabilité quantitative et sont, respectivement, le carvacrol (71,03 ; 47,17 et 11,84 %), le γ-curcumène (12,95 ; 20,27 et 13,24 %), la thymoquinone (1,58 ; 11,50 et 33,82 %), le cédrol (6,48 ; 7,76 et 16,64 %) et le 4-terpinéol (2,03 ; 3,09 et 3,83 %).
The chemical composition of the methanolic extract of Ammi visnaga (Khella) seeds from the Sidi Slimane region is determined for the first time by Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Ten compounds representing 99.638% of the total extract were identified. Khellin (49.011%), Visnagin (26.537%) and Dimethylethylamine (15.108%) are the major components. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of the Methanolic extract of the seeds of Ammi visnaga on the corrosion of mild steel in a solution of 1M HCl is determined using weight loss measurements, the potentiodynamic technique as well as the technique of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It is found that the extract reduces the corrosion rate of the steel in the acid solution. Inhibition efficiency increases as the concentration of the extract increases. The tested compound has an inhibition efficiency of 84% for a concentration equal to 1.0 g/L. The polarization measurements indicate that the examined extract acts as a mixed inhibitor with predominant anodic efficacy. The data obtained from EIS studies are analyzed to model this process using appropriate equivalent circuit models. The adsorption of the extract on the surface of the mild steel obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm in acidic medium and the activation is determined and discussed.
The aim of the present study was to determine the chemical composition of eight plant essential oils and evaluate their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli strains isolated from different turkey organs. The essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. All essential oil yielded high in a range between 2.2 and 3.12%. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) revealed that the major constituents of Thymus vulgaris, Ocimum basilicum, Artemisia herba-alba, and Syzygium aromaticum oils were thymol (41.39%), linalool (37.16%), camphor (63.69%), and eugenol (80.83%), respectively. Results of the E. coli sensitivity evaluated by the standard antimicrobial sensitivity method varied depending on the organ of isolation. Similarly, the essential oils antimicrobial activity determined by the disc diffusion method varied all along within the organs of isolation. T. vulgaris essential oil showed the highest effective antibacterial activity against E. coli isolated from the throat with an inhibition zone diameter value of up to 23.33 mm. However, all the essential oils showed antibacterial activity and the MIC and MBC values were in the range of 1/3000 to 1/100 (v/v) and the ratios MBC/MIC were equal to 1. In conclusion, this study showed that the essential oils could be promising alternatives to overcome E. coli multiresistance in turkey.
