Abstract: Water, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of 12 plants from the family Apiaceae were screened for antibacterial activities against selected phytopathogenic bacteria. Following plants were tested: Aegopodium podagraria, Angelica silvestris, Chaerophyllum bulbosum, Daucus carota subsp. carota, Foeniculum vulgare, Heracleum sphondylium, Pastinaca sativa Peucedanum cerevaria, Peucedanum oreoselinum, Pimpinella saxifraga, Sanicula europea, Torilis anthriscus. The antibacterial activities were tested in relation to the following bacterial species: Agrobacterium radiobacter pv. tumefaciens, Erwinia carotovora, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas glycinea. Antibacterial activity was determined by filter disc diffusion method. All the aromatic plants investigated showed antimicrobial activities against selected phytopathogenic bacteria tested. 65.27% of all examined extracts showed antibacterial activities. The most active were the extracts of Torilis anthriscus especially in relation to Pseudomonas glycinea. Aegopodium podagraria, Daucus carota, Heracleum sphondyilium and Pimpinella saxifraga also showed significant antibacterial properties. The most sensitive bacteria were Pseudomonas glycinea followed by Agrobacterium radiobacter pv. tumefaciens, while the most resistant bacteria were Erwinia carotovora. Laboratory screening of plant extracts has given encouraging results indicating their potential uses in the control of selected phytopathogenic bacteria.
