主　　题：Pinus pinaster Essential oil GC-MS Antimicrobial activity 

摘      要：Objective:To investigate the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of essential oils ofPinus pinaster.Methods:Essential oils were extracted from the needles by hydrodistillation.The chemical composition of the obtained essential oils was analyzed using GC-MS technique.The antimicrobial potential has been tested against six microorganisms performing the disc diffusion assay.Results:Twenty-three components have been identified.β-caryophyllene(30.9%)andβ-selinene(13.45%)were predominant compounds.The essential oil exhibited a moderate activity againstStaphylococcus aureus,Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli,but did not affect the growth of Erwinia amylovora.Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger were not inhibited by maritime pine essential oils.Conclusions:The essential oils from Pinus pinaster can be used as an antibacterial agent.
