•Essential oil compositions of Kundmannia anatolica and Kundmannia syriaca were analyzed by GC–MS/FID.•Antimicrobial and MIC activity of plant extracts against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and fungus were determined.•Spathulenol was found as main component in plant essential oils.
Kundmannia anatolica HUB.-MOR. and Kundmannia syriaca BOISS. are two endemic species of Apiaceae diversified in Turkey. In the present study, the essential oil composition and antimicrobial activity of these endemic species collected from Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey were investigated. Essential oils of aerial parts were obtained by hydro distillation method and analyzed by GC–MS/FID. Acetone, chloroform and methanol extracts of aerial parts of the plants were tested against seven bacteria and three yeasts by disc diffusion method for antimicrobial assays and minimum inhibition concentrations (MIC) were determined. Spathulenol, curdione, apritone, germacrene-d and- (−) globulol were the major components of K. anatolica. In the essential oil of K. syriaca, spathulenol, germacrene-d, bioallethrin, 12-norcyercene-B and β methadol were determined as the main compounds. The most abundant compound of K. anatolica and K. syriaca was spathulenol with 17.40%–19.53% ratio in the GC–MS and 19.7%, 24.99% ratio in GC–FID results, respectively. Aerial parts extracts of K. anatolica and K. syriaca exhibited remarkable antimicrobial activity to all tested microorganisms except for Candida albicans.
