In situ analysis of the antibacterial activity of the vapor phase of CEO on carrots.

Bacteria	Bacterial Growth Inhibition [%] Carrots
	62.5 (µL/L)	125 (µL/L)	250 (µL/L)	500 (µL/L)
Micrococcus luteus	−308.56 ± 5.66 a	−310.56 ± 7.12 a	81.13 ± 4.28 b	−302.56 ± 5.64 a
Serratia marcescens	−15.65 ± 2.83 a	33.79 ± 4.77 b	31.50 ± 5.19 b	−0.093 ± 5.76 c

Means ± standard deviation (n = 3). Values followed by different superscript within the same row are significantly different (p < 0.05); the negative values indicate probacterial activity of the essential oil against the growth of bacteria strains.
