摘要
The essential oil of Satureja montana L. had a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity against 46 species of yeasts. This high and diffused activity could be used to control potential pathogenic and spoilage yeasts. The assay of MIC toward some pathogenic and spoilage yeasts showed a range values from 0.10 to 0.25 mu l ml(-1). The MIC and growth rate reduction assay were effective tests for quantitative evaluation of antimicrobial activity.
