The antimicrobial activity was studied on four bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus‚ Escherichia coli‚ Salmonella typhi and Bacillus cereus) and four fungal species (Aspergillus funiculosus‚ Fusarium equiseti‚ Curvularia lunata and Alternaria alternate). Oil samples of 1% and 10% showed activity against all test microbes except for Curvularia lunata. From bacterial species‚ highest inhibition zone (19 mm) was observed
