The composition of essential oil isolated from Thymus algeriensis growing wild in Libya was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The essential oil was characterized with thymol (38.50%) as the major component. The oil was screened for antioxidant activity using DPPH assay, and compared to thymol and carvacrol. Antioxidant activity was high, with the IC50 of 0.299 mg/ml, compared to 0.403 and 0.105 mg/ml for thymol and carvacrol, and 0.0717 mg/ml for BHA. In addition, antimicrobial activity was tested against eight bacteria and eight fungi. T. algeriensis oil showed inhibitory activity against tested bacteria at 0.001–0.05 mg/ml, while bactericidal activity (MBC) was achieved at 0.0025–0.05 mg/ml. For antifungal activity MICs ranged 0.0005–0.025 mg/ml and MFC 0.001–0.05 mg/ml. High antimicrobial activity against the fungi in particular suggests that the essential oil of Thymus algeriensis could have a useful practical application.

“…Environmental factors, including cultivation, temperature, moisture, and soil, appear to have an impact on volatile compound production in medicinal and herb crops (Boira and Blanquer, 1998;MedinaHolguin et al, 2007). The results of Karousou et al (2005) partially supports our finding showing that single species growing in different habitat types have different oil composition and high carvacrol content and are associated to the dry dwarf-shrub formations of the lowlands.…”

“…The essential oils from the thymus species are rich sources of phenolic monoterpenes such as thymol and carvacrol (Karousou et al, 2005;Amiri, 2012). Numerous in vitro studies have demonstrated that essential oils, including these molecules, display antimicrobial activity (Celikel and Kavas, 2008;Cosge et al, 2009;Chedia et al, 2013).…”
