Objective: The aim of this work is to investigate the antibacterial activity of the essential oil obtained from Artemisia lavandulaefolia (A. lavandulaefolia), as the development of microbial resistance to antibiotics make it essential to constantly look for new and active compounds effective against pathogenic bacteria. Method: The aerial parts of A. lavandulaefolia (1 kg) were subjected to steam distillation for 3 h, using a modified Clevenger type apparatus in order to obtain essential oil. Diethyl ether was the extracting solvent kept at 25?. The essential oil were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography／mass spectrometry (GC／MS). The essential oil and the composition were tested for antimicrobial activities against 15 different genera of oral bacteria. Ninety-nine compounds accounting for 94.74$\%$<／TEX> of the oil were identified. The main compounds in the oil were 1,8-cineole (5.63$\%$), yomogi alcohol (4.49$\%$), camphor (4.92$\%$), a-caryophyllene (16.10$\%$), trans-a-famesene (5.09$\%$), a-terpineol (3.91$\%$), borneol (5.27$\%$), cis-chrysanthenol (6.98$\%$), and a-humulene oxide (3.33$\%$). The essential oil and its compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity against 10 different genera of oral bacteria. Conclusion: The essential oil of A. lavandulaefolia exhibited considerable inhibitory effects against all obligate anaerobic bacteria (MICs, 0.025 - 0.05 ㎎／ml) tested, while their major compounds demonstrated various degrees of growth inhibition

한방과 식품분야에서 널리 이용되고 있는 쑥의 특성 중 항미생물 효과에 대한 연구를 하였다. 쑥씨에서 분리한 정유를 GC, GC-MS로 분석한 결과 77종의 휘발성 물질이 동정되었고 그 중에서 가장 많이 존재하는 것은 campher(14.242%), borneol(12.812%), 1.8-cineol(6.437%), terpinen-4-ol(1.185%) 등으로 전체 정유성분의 약 35%를 차지했다. 이들 4종과 Mugwort seed extract(essential oil)를 가지고 대표적인 식품 미생물인 S. cerevisiae, L. mesenteroides, L. plantarum, A. oryzae와 B. subtilis 그리고 식품오염 정도의 지표 미생물인 E. coli 등의 생육에 미치는 항미생물 효과를 측정한 결과 terpinen-4-ol이 가장 효과가 커 1000ppm 정도로 미생물의 생육을 거의 억제시켰으나 cineol, essential oil은 효과가 그다지 크지 않은 반면에 borneol과 campher는 항미생물 효과가 미약했다.
