Abstract
Hexane extracts of wild Sideritis scardica Griesb. and of cultivated hybrid S. scardica x S. syriaca were analyzed by GC-MS and tested for antimicrobial activity. Main components of all the extracts were diterpenes and n-alkanes. Cultivated and wild plant extracts demonstrated significant activity against S. aureus. The results demonstrate the possibility to find cultivation conditions that will lead not only to preservation but to increasing of the quantity of biologically active constituents in S. scardica and the biological activity of the extracts.
