Composition of the essential oil of Juniperus communis L. and its potential antimicrobial activity were analyzed. Composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The major components were alfa-pinene (40.33%), beta-myrcene (13.72%), limonene (5.61%) and sabinene (5.38%). As test organisms the following micromycetes Penicillium ochrochloron, Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride and bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli and Micrococcus luteus were used. Microdilution method on microplates 96-system was used for detection of minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal (MBC) and fungicidal concentration (MFC). Essential oil did not show antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, and for Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus it was low. The oil of Juniperus communis exhibited low antifungal activity against tested micromycetes.
