Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of the n-hexane extracts obtained from aerial and underground parts and
essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from aerial parts of four Seseli L. species growing in Turkey
(three of them are endemic for Turkey) have been screened in vitro against Gram-negative strains
(Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Gram-positive strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus
faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus) and the fungus (Candida albicans) by agar disk-diffusion method.
Some of the extracts and an essential oil of Seseli species showed antimicrobial activity.
