Biological Activities of a-Pinene and β-Pinene Enantiomers

Biological Activities of a-Pinene and β-Pinene Enantiomers

The antimicrobial activities of the isomers and enantiomers of pinene were evaluated against bacterial and fungal cells. The agar diffusion test showed that only the positive enantiomers of the a- and β-isomers of pinene were active. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal microbicida...
