Abstract:The Croton genus is known for its various biological properties, which inspired this study to investigate the anti-bacterial properties and chemodiversity of the essential oils of three Croton species: Croton blanchetianus, Croton jacobinensis, and Croton nepetifolius. The essential oils were characterized by gas chromatography (GC-MS) and demonstrated antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using the disk diffusion method. The essential oil composition of C. blanchetianus sho… Show more
