Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters (Barbary Thuya); essential oil composition; chemical variability; antimicrobial activity, AlgeriaAbstract
The essential oil from aerial parts of Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters, obtained by
hydrodistillation was analyzed by GC, GC/MS and 13C-NMR and evaluated for antimicrobial
activity. The essential oil was rich in monoterpenes which α-pinene, bornyl acetate and
camphor being the main constituents.Three essential oils were tested against Staphylococcus
aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella
pneumoniae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus and the
minimum inhibitory concentration was determined.The tested oils have been shown to
possess inhibitory action in the range from 1 to 6 µL/mL against Aspergillus fumigatus, A.
niger and Staphylococcus aureus. However, essential oil with camphor as major component
was the most interesting, with CMIs ranging between 1 and 3 µL/mL. While, essential oil
with α-pinene as major compound, remains the less effective, with CMIs ranging between 2
and 6 µL/mL.
