Abstract

The essential oil of aerial parts of Micromeria fruticulosa (Lamiaceae) growing wild in Southern Italy was obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC and GC–MS. Sixty‐one compounds, representing 91.3% of the oil, were identified. The major components were γ‐terpinene (14.5%), β‐caryophyllene (12.6%), p‐cymene (8.9%), α‐pinene (8.2%) and β‐bisabolene (7.2%). The essential oil showed action mainly against Gram‐positive bacteria. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
