“Results by disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination method showed that the essential oil had a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with their inhibition zones ranging from 14.57 mm to 23.37 mm and the MIC ranging from 4.66 μL mL−1 to 18.75 μL mL−1.”
