- Abstract
Antimicrobial activity and pollen analysis of honey from Mugla Province showed 5 to 29 different types of pollens of which Zea mays, Styrax officinalis and Trifolium sp. were dominant pollen taxa. Seven multifloral honey and three unifloral honey samples were identified in ten honey samples. The honey samples H09 (Püren) and H10 (Harnup) were more effective antimicrobial against Baccilus megaterium with 49 mm inhibition zones. Sample H01 (Keven) showed the best antibacterial activity against B.subtilis with 39 mm inhibition zones. H08 (Sedir) showed the largest inhibition zone to Candida albicans with 49mm. It can be reported that pollen of Püren, Harnup, Keven and Sedir honey samples showed the most antimicrobial activities.
