- Abstract
Three myrtus fruit samples collected from different regions of Marmaris were dried, grinded and extracted with n-hexane, CH2Cl2 and MeOH respectively. The extracts of Myrtus communis L. were screened in vitro for their antimicrobial activities using disc diffusion method against four test bacteria. The antimicrobial test results showed that the inhibition zones have been measured between 7 to 16 mm. S. aureus was the most sensitive one to all concentrations of all M. communis L. samples. P. aeruginosa was the most resistant one to all concentrations of M. communis L. sample from Yeflil Belde. The antioxidant activity of MeOH extracts has also been determined by DPPH assay. This is the first report of comparative antimicrobial and antioxidant study for M. communis L. samples collected from different regions from Marmaris/ Mugla/ Turkey.
