摘要：

Steam distilled oil of Cymbopogon citratus was analyzed by Gas Chromatographic-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and citral was found as major constituent. The oil exhibited significant inhibition of beta-glucuronidase activity and also showed activities against some tested human, plant and animal pathogens. The minimum inhibitory concentrations could not be determined due to the lack of some chemicals.
