	abstract = {Commercial samples of thyme and marjoram oils were analyzed by capillary GC and coupled GC/MS. The anti-microbial activity of each oil was assessed against 10 different bacteria and eight strains of yeasts. p-Cymene (25.2\%), thymol (31.4\%) and carvacrol (3.8\%) were important compounds in the oil of thyme, while limonene (17.3\%), linalool (15.5\%), terpinen-4-ol (7.3\%), α-terpineol (13.0\%) and linalyl acetate (14.1\%) were major constituents in marjoram oil. Thyme oil possessed remarkable antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms, while marjoram oil demonstrated a lower antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial activity of oils was higher against yeasts than bacteria. {\textcopyright} 2006 Allured Publishing Corp.},

	abstract = {Twenty-six samples of Thymus serpyllum ssp. serpyllum were collected from 14 habitats in Lithuania and the composition of their essential oils were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and GC/MS. The study revealed remarkable infraspecific variation in the oil composition. Five main groups of the plants were observed using hierarchical cluster analysis based on the major essential oil constituents. Consequently, five chemotypes of T. serpyllum have been defined, namely 1,8-cineole, germacrene B, (E)-β-ocimene, (α-cadinol and ds-p-menth-2-en-1-ol. It was concluded that there is no clear relation in the oil composition between the studied varieties and chemotypes. Two chemotypes were defined within the ssp. serpyllum var. serpyllum, two chemotypes within the ssp. serpyllum var. lineatus, and one chemotype within ssp. serpyllum var. rigidus. {\textcopyright} 2006 Allured Publishing Corp.},

	abstract = {The influence of nitrogen fertilizers on the yield of crop, as well as on the production and composition of the essential oil and some other chemical characteristics of thyme, was investigated. Different levels of fertilizers (N = 0, 45, 90, and 135 kg ha(-1)) were applied. It was found that fortilizers increase thyme crop, but differences in the yield of essential oil were not remarkable. However, the use of certain amounts of nitrogen fertilizers resulted in higher yields of essential oil obtainable from the cultivation area unit (dm(3) ha(-1)). Totally, 61 constituents were identified in thyme essential oil by capillary GC and GC-MS. Thymol was the dominating compound in the all analyzed oils (44.4-58.1 \%), followed by p-cymene (9.1-18.5\%), gamma-terpinene (6.9-18.9\%), and carvacrol (2.4-4.2\%). Differences in the percentage of these and other compounds in thyme herb cultivated under different fertilization doses were not significant; very slight changes in the percentage composition were detected after drying. Some variations in the amount of individual constituents expressed in arbitrary units per kilogram of herb (which is almost equivalent to mg kg(-1)) were observed. The highest amounts of sugars and sucrose, in particular, were determined in the second year of thyme cultivation. Differences in the content of dry soluble substances were not meaningful, and there was no effect of nitrogen fertilizers on this chemical characteristic. Some effect of fertilization on the content of vitamin C and carotenes was observed in the first year of thyme cultivation. It was determined that nitrogen fertilizers influence the amount of nitrates, which was highest in the second-year-first-harvest.},
