The EO extracted by hydrodistillation from Iranian <em>C. copticum </em>was characterized by means of GC/MS. The nano-iron chelate application increased γ- terpinene and thymol and decreased α-pinene, β-pinene and p-cymene concentration. The oil was also subjected to antimicrobial activity. <em>C. copticum </em>oil was found to inhibit <em>Bacillus cereus </em>and <em>Candida albicans </em>with the lowest MIC and MBC/MFC values. Thymol and carvacrol possessed the highest antimicrobial activity among the major components. These results clearly show the antimicrobial effects of the essential oil <em>C</em>. <em>copticum</em>.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Botany}, author={Abdossi, V and Kazemi, M}, year={2018}, month={Oct.}, pages={537–542} }
