Abstract

Essential oils (EOs) are volatile, natural, fragrant liquids that can be extracted from different parts of the plants (especially leaves and flowers) presenting anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. The main aim of the study was to investigate the chemical composition, and antimicrobial activity of Ammodaucus leucotrichus L leaves of Bechar region in the South of Algeria. . The essential oil as analyzed by GC/GC- MS and resulted in the identification of Twenty compounds representing 88.02 % of the oil were identified. The main compounds identified were: Cineole (18.56), Linalool (10.80%) Decanal (9.50%) p-Vinylguaiacol (8.50%), Geraniol (5.04%) ,β-pinene (04.4%).

Gram positive bacteria were the most susceptible to the effects of the essential of Ammodaucus leucotrichus leaves.
