Abstract:The present work describes the antimicrobial activity of twenty-five monoterpenes against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus. The antibacterial activity was evaluated by broth microdilution technique as a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the antifungal activity was estimated by mycelia radial growth technique as (EC 50 ). The results showed that thymol and α-terpineol were the most potent against E. coli with MIC o… Show more
