Volatiles and Antifungal-Antibacterial-Antiviral Activity of South African spp. Essential Oils Cultivated in Uniform Conditions.

Spontaneous emissions of Aiton and Thunb., as well as the essential oil (EO) composition of the cited species, together with L., were investigated.

Volatilome Analyses and In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of the Essential Oils from Five South African Species.

genus was used in folk South African medicine to treat various human disorders. As a part of our on-going research addressing the exploitation of South African plants belonging to this genus, five species were investigated for their volatile and antimicrobial activities. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the essential oils (EOs) were analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
