The essential oil of aerial parts of Micromeria fruticulosa (Lamiaceae) growing wild in Southern Italy was obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC and GC-MS. Sixty-one compounds, representing 91.3% of the oil, were identified. The major components were γ γ γ γ γ-terpinene (14.5%), β β β β β-caryophyllene (12.6%), p-cymene (8.9%), α α α α α-pinene (8.2%) and β β β β β-bisabolene (7.2%). The essential oil showed action mainly against Gram-positive bacteria.

“…Thus, there is a considerable research interest towards assaying the composition and biological properties of Micromeria essential oils. Herein we report, as the part of our study of the genus Micromeria Bentham, [3][4][5][6] the composition and antimicrobial activity of the M. cristata and M. juliana essential oils.…”

The chemical composition of the essential oil of Micromeria cristata and Micromeria juliana was determined by GC-MS analysis. Among the 36 identified compounds of the M. cristata essential oil, isoborneol (11.3%), borneol (8.5%), verbenone (8.2%), 10-epi-α α α α α-cadinol and thujan-3-ol, were found to be major components. The main constituents of the M. juliana oil were verbenol (11.8%), thymol (10.8%), caryophyllene oxide (10.5%), borneol (9.3%) and myrtenal (7.1%). The in-vitro antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic solution of the essential oils was investigated by the disk diffusion method with ampicillin as the standard antibiotic against six microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella enteritidis and Aspergillus niger). At 1:20 dilution the activity of both oils was moderate while at 1:40 dilution the oils showed weak or no activity.

“…Our searches in literature suggest that the oil of M. persica has not been the subject of previous study, but there are some references about chemical composition [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and antimicrobial activities [17][18][19] of the oils from other Micromeria species. In this paper, we describe the yield and chemical composition of the essential oil of M. persica Boiss.…”

KEY WORDS: Micromeria persica; Labiatae; essential oil composition; thymol; γ-terpinene; limonene; 1,8-cineole; p-cymene; Iran hydrodistillation for 2.5 h using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The essential oils were obtained in 3.00% and 3.20% (w/w) yield, before the flowering and full flowering stages, respectively. The oils were dried over sodium sulphate and stored in sealed vials at low temperature before analysis. Gas ChromatographyGC analyses were performed using a Shimadzu GC-9A gas chromatograph equipped with a DB-5 fused silica column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d., film thickness 0.25 µm). Oven temperature was held at 40°C for 5 min and then programmed to 250°C at a rate of 4°C/min. Injector and detector (FID) temperature, 260°C; helium was used as carrier gas at a linear velocity of 32 cm/s. Gas Chromatography-Mass SpectrometryGC-MS analyses were carried out on a Varian 3400 GC-MS system equipped with a DB-5 fused silica column (30 m × 0.25 mm i.d.); oven temperature, 40°C to 240°C at a rate of 4°C; transfer line temperature, 260°C; injector temperature, 250°C; carrier gas, helium at a linear velocity of 31.5 cm/s; split ratio, 1/60; flow rate, 1.1 ml/min; ionization energy, 70 eV; scan time, 1 s; mass range, 40-350 amu.
