Antimicrobial activity screening of some Seseli L. species growing in Turkey

Türkiye'de yetişen 4 Seseli L. türünün toprak üstü ve toprak altı kısımlarından elde edilen n-hekzanlı ekstrelerin ve toprak üstü kısımlarından hidrodistilasyonla elde edilen uçucu yağların Gram-negatif (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Gram-pozitif (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus) ve bir mantara (Candida albicans)'a karşı agar disk difüzyon metodu ile antimikrobiyal aktiviteleri taranmıştır. Ekstrelerden bazıları ve bir uçucu yağ antimikrobiyal aktivite göstermiştir.

Türkiye'de yetişen bazı Seseli L. türlerinin antimikrobiyal aktivite taraması

The antimicrobial activity of the n-hexane extracts obtained from aerial and underground parts and essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from aerial parts of four Seseli L. species growing in Turkey (three of them are endemic for Turkey) have been screened in vitro against Gram-negative strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Gram-positive strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus) and the fungus (Candida albicans) by agar disk-diffusion method. Some of the extracts and an essential oil of Seseli species showed antimicrobial activity.
