The predominant constituents were thymol (24.77 %), carvacrol (14.00 %), p-cymene (10.91 %), -terpinene (6.53 %) and borneol (6.48 %). EO showed different levels of antimicrobial activities on test microorganisms. C. albicans, C. parapsilosis and S. aureus ATCC 29213 had the MIC/MFC/MBC values with 0.07/0.18 mg/ml, 0.18/0.36 mg/ml and 0.36/1.22 mg/ml respectively. EO of T. eigii exhibited pronounced herbicidal activities by inhibiting the germination and the growth of the seedlings of all plant species.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEssential oilThymuseigiiantimicrobialphytotoxicAntimicrobial and Herbicidal Activities of the Essential Oil from the Mediterranean Thymus eigiiArticle21121422210.1080/0972060X.2017.13278242-s2.0-85044818680Q2WOS:000429097800021Q4
