Özet

In this study performed on six endemic plant species, antimicrobial activity was observed in Campanula

lyrata subsp.lyrata and Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmuelleriana plants. The minimum inhibitory

concentration of C. lyrata subsp. lyrata (leaf and flower) extract was found to be  29 mg/ml for

Baccillus subtilis and  14.5 mg/ml for Staphylococcus aureus, and the minimum inhibitory

concentration (MIC) of Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmuelleriana (leaf) extract was found to be > 314

mg/ml for B. subtilis and when minimum bacteriocidal concentration (MBC) results were evaluated, it

was observed that the plant extracts had bacteriocidal effects. No antimicrobial activity was observed in

the other plant extracts, namely, Onosma bornmuelleri (leaf- flower), Dianthus balansae (leaf- flower),

Alyssum pateri subsp. pateri (seed) and Scabiosa columbaria subsp. paphlagonica (leaf) extracts that

were tested.
