MBC determinations of the strains and the essential oils tested

Microbial strains	Essential oil source
Microbial strains	Origanum vulgare	Salvia lavandulaefolia	Rosmarinus officinalis
L. monocytogenes NCTC 11994	7.2^a	56.2^b	56.2^b
P. aeruginosa P2	12^a	NT	56.2^b
Y. lipolytica ISA 1708	3.52^a	63.36^b	> 25

Results presented reflect the average of three different replicates each expressed in μg mL⁻¹ (w/v) of oil in growth media. A different letter in the same row represents significant differences (P < 0.001) between the different tested EO, within the same microbial strain

NT not tested, because MIC values were too high
