extract was obtained by subcritical carbon dioxide extraction (installation of
carbon dioxide flow-through extraction- 5L). e Wiley 7
th
edition and NIST’02 library were used to identify the mass spectra
obtained. e antimicrobial activity study was conducted by the micromethod of serial dilution and disco-diffuse method.
Standard test strains of microorganisms were used: Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538-P, Candida
albicans ATCC 10231, and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739. Results. e use of carbon dioxide extraction (further CO
