Özet
In this study, levels of trace element and antimicrobial activity of the extracts of fennel plant ( Foeniculum vulgare) collected from Elazig-Turkey area were investigated. Fennel seeds have been known to be able to regulate menstruation, alleviate the symptoms of female climacteric syndrome, and increase libido.  Digestions and analyses of fennel samples for trace elements were performed with acids mixture of concentrated HNO 3 and HClO 4 by using microwave oven in PTFE vessel and ICP-OES. The antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts (methanol, i sopropanol and hexane) was assessed by disk diffusion method and compared with three commonly employed antibiotics. Organic extracts had a moderate effect against all test organisms ( Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 11230, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC29212, Pseudomonas fluorescens RSKK 240, Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC 7966 , Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 , Salmonella typhimirium MU 80, Shigella soneii MU 57, Candida albicans ATCC 90028 and Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019). Therefore, these properties show that the plant has a potential for use in pharmacy and this antimicrobial screen also warrants further studies on antibiotic-resistant strains and other pathogens .
