    abstract = {The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from the fruits of <I>Pimpinella affinis</I> Ledeb. (Apiaceae) was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. Twenty-four components were identified in the essential oil of <I>P. affinis</I> Ledeb., whose major constituents were geijerene (17.68 %), limonene (12.86 %), pregeijerene (9.92 %), germacrene D (8.54 %) and trans-  -cimene (4.94 %). The essential oil was evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The oil showed antimicrobial activity against all the tested microorganisms, excepted Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Maximum activity was observed against fungal microorganisms.}
