“…In another study, 25 antimicrobial activity was also found to be greater for the (−)-enantiomer. Contrary to results reported from other studies 8,25 and those reported here, were studies which indicated higher antimicrobial activity for (+)-15 limonene when using the disc diffusion method. 6,26,27 A more recent study 26 indicated sensitivities only for (+)-limonene, with no values given for (−)-limonene.…”

“…Although the disc diffusion results may not be comparable to the MIC data presented here, the general antimicrobial trend for (+)-limonene, indicating moderate activity, was also noted in this study. 24,25 The highest sensitivities for (+)-limonene were noted for Bacillus cereus and C. neoformans, both having MIC values of 3 mg/ml. In another study, 25 antimicrobial activity was also found to be greater for the (−)-enantiomer.…”

Two common essential oil constituents, 1,8-cineole and limonene, were assessed for antimicrobial activity, using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) microtitre plate method against eight organisms. The limonene enantiomers, i.e. (+), (−) and the racemate, singularly and in combination (1:1) with 1,8-cineole, were investigated to establish possible interactions. The MIC values were in the ranges 3-27 mg/ml for (+)-limonene; 2-27 mg/ml for (−)-limonene and 23 mg/ml for 1,8-cineole, depending on the pathogen studied. The combinations, when investigated in a 1:1 ratio, mostly indicated reduced activity. Using various ratios of limonene and 1,8-cineole, the specific interaction was further investigated against Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative) and a yeast, Cryptococcus neoformans. A figurative representation of the results using isobologram construction indicated that, depending on the ratio and specific enantiomer, an additive, synergistic or antagonistic interaction may be observed.

“…La même constatation a été rapportée par Giordani et al (2008) qui ont montré que, parmi les huiles de sept plantes aromatiques et médicinales différentes de l'Algérie, l'huile essentielle de T. algeriensis a présenté la plus faible activité antifongique contre Candida albicans. Ceci peut être due à la présence dans cette l'huile de l'α-pinène (20,5%), du β-pinène (8,02%) et du limonène (4,85%) reconnus par leurs faible pouvoir antimicrobien (Knobloch et al, 1989 ;Chalchat et al, 2000).…”

Résumé.-Ce travail porte sur l'étude de l'activité antifongique des huiles essentielles de deux plantes aromatiques et médicinales de la flore marocaine vis-à-vis de quatre champignons lignivores. Les huiles essentielles obtenues par hydrodistillation des parties aériennes de Thymus algeriensis Boiss. & Reut. et Thymus ciliatus (Desf.) Benth. ont été analysées par CG and CG-SM. Les résul-tats montrent que le camphre (27,7%) et l'α-pinène (20,5%) sont les constituants majeurs de l'huile essentielle de T. algeriensis et que celle de T. ciliatus contient principalement le thymol (44,2%), le β-ocimène (25,8%) et l'α-terpinè-ne (12,3%). Les tests de bioactivité vis-à-vis de quatre champignons de pouriture du bois (Gloeophyllum trabeum, Poria placenta, Coniophora puteana et Coriolus versicolor) ont montré que l'essence de T. ciliatus présente une forte activité. Mots clés : Thymus algeriensis -Thymus ciliatus -huiles essentielles -activité antifongique -champignons de pourriture du bois.Abstract.-This work deals with the antifungal activity of two medicinal and aromatic plants essential oils of the Moroccan flora against four wood-decaying fungi. The essential oils obtained from Thymus algeriensis Boiss. & Reut. and Thymus ciliatus (Desf.) Benth. aerial parts by hydrodistillation were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The result demonstrated that the major components of T. algeriensis essential oil are campher (27.7%) and α-pinene (20.5%), while were the essential oil of T. ciliatus contains mainly thymol (44.2%), β-ocymene (25.8%) and α-terpinene (12.3%). Bioactivity tests against for fungi decaying wood (Gloeophyllum trabeum, Poria placenta, Coniophora puteana and Coriolus versicolor) demonstrate that the oil of T. ciliatus showed a strong antifungal activity against all fungi tested.

“…34 In another report, hydroperoxides of -pinene,ˇ-pinene and limonene and both their enantiomers were indicated to possess very high antimicrobial activities. 35 As to their odour, (C)-˛-pinene has a slightly mint terpene odour, while ( )-˛-pinene has a coniferous odour. (C)-ˇ-Pinene has a pine, conifer odour and ( )-ˇ-pinene has a slightly pine odour.…”

The genus Salvia (Lamiaceae) is represented in Turkey by 89 species, of which 45 are endemic. The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from different Salvia spp. were analysed by GC-MS. Enantiomeric separation of some constituents in these oils were determined by MD-GC-MS.˛-Pinene,ˇ-pinene, camphor, limonene, linalool and borneol, mainly contained in Salvia oils, were investigated for their enantiomeric distributions.
