Abstract
The hydrodistilled volatile oil from the aerial parts of Artemisia kulbadica Boiss. & Buhse was investigated by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Twenty-seven compounds were identified, representing 92.9% of the total oil. Sabinene (25.1%), trans-thujone (18.7%) and gamma-cadinene (16.0%) were the main components. The antimicrobial activity was determined against six bacterial strains and one fungal. The oil was active against all the tested strains.
