ABSTRACT: In this study, it is aimmed to be determined the antimicrobial effects of the essential oil in
vitro conditions, extracted from wild forms of plant which is known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum and
Chamaemellum nobile around the world against Chryseobacterium indologenes isolates, which are the
agent of Soft Rot for some fruits and vegetables. For this purpose, 7 strains of C. indologenes which have
been determined as the agent of Soft Rot in previous studies performed in plants such as cucumber, pepper,
tomato, and pumpkin. As the positive control, Streptomycin antibiotics sold as ready produce were used.
According to the obtained results, the essential oil of Cinnamomum zeylanicum have the antibactericidal
effect of 15-24 mm against 7 isolates of C. indologenes. the essential oil of Chamaemellum nobile have the
antibactericidal effect of 0,6-15 mm against 7 isolates of C. indologenes. It has been observed that the
antibiotics used as the positive control has the antibacterial effect of 0,9-11 mm. In conclusion, the essential
oil has the lethal effect against 7 C. indologenes isolates which are agents of Soft Rot. It is assesed that this
essential oil extracted from Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Chamaemellum nobile can be used against these
Soft Rot pathogens.
