Abstract
The chemical composition of the essential oil of Pituranthos chloranthus ssp. cossonianus Maire (Apiaceae) was investigated by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to reveal 54 compounds. The main constituents were myristicine (27.4%), limonene (15.8%), α-pinene (11.4%), and α-phellandrene (8.3%). The antibacterial activity of the oil was evaluated against several strains and was shown to be significant against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
