Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate whether essential oil of the plant Thymus tosevii Vel. subsp. tosevii var. degenii (Lamia�ceae), endemic plant species in Pelister, Baba Mountain (Bitola, Macedonia) manifest certain antifungal activity against the fungus Aspergillus niger and anti-yeast activity against the yeast Candida albicans.
The essential oil was obtained from the aerial parts at the flowering stage by method of hydro-distillation and Unger apparatus was used to obtain the essential oil from this plant. Antifungal and anti-yeast activities of the oil were evaluated by a disc diffusion method.
Essential oil from the plant Thymus tosevii Vel. subsp. tosevii var. degenii showed different antifungal and anti-yeast activity against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans, depending on the concentration of essential oil used, as well as, the type of microorganism.
