The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from two samples (GP1 and GP2) ofGrammosciadium platycarpumBoiss. was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The analysis of the oils resulted in the identification of twenty-two constituents. Linalool (79.0% Ð GP1, 81.8%ÐGP2) and limonene (10.0%, 5.8%) were found to be the major components, respec- tively. The in vitro antibacterial activities of these oils and their main compounds against seven Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were investigated. The results exhibited that the total oils and their major components possess strong to moderate activities against all the tested bacteria except forPseudomonas aeruginosa.

Key words: Grammosciadium, Essential Oil, Antibacterial Activity
