Abstract
The work focuses on the phytochemical study of a species from the Apiaceae family: Deverra scoparia called wild fennel; collected at Ahaggar National Park in southern Algeria as well as a review of its biological activity: antimicrobial. After extracting the essential oil from its ripe fruits, the chromatographic analysis is carried out: Deverra scoparia displayed an intermediate value of 2.7%. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oil is sought: It reports a moderate antibacterial and antifungal power. This bioactivity is mainly due to α-pinene, which is partly responsible for the antimicrobial activity.
