Introduction

Junipers are important precursors in the dynamics of forest groupings in Mediterranean vegetation, but also develop under extreme ecological conditions (Quezel et Medail, 2003). The genus Juniperus is an integral part of arid and semi-arid ecosystems in the northern hemisphere (Farjon, 1992; Adams, 2008). In the Algerian flora, five species are present: Juniperus oxycedrus L., Juniperus Sabina L., Juniperus thurifera L., Juniperus communis L. and Juniperus phoenecea L. (Harhour, 2018; Quezel et Santa, 1963). Juniperus phoenecea L., also called red cedar, is an evergreen coniferous shrub or small tree belonging to the Cupressaceae family. In Algeria, it covers an area of 227,000 ha (Louni, 1994). It is considered an important medicinal plant widely used in traditional medicine. Its leaves are used as a decoction to treat rheumatism and diabetes. In powder form it is used against bronchopulmonary diseases and as a diuretic (Bellakhder, 1997). The mixture with berries is used as an oral hypoglycaemic agent (Amer et al., 1994). Dried and powdered fruits can cure skin ulcers and abscesses (Le Floc'h, 1983).

Juniperus oxycedrus L called Taga in Algeria (Quezel et Santa, 1962) is distributed in different parts of the world, including the Mediterranean regions. It can be found in the Tell, mainly associated with holm oaks (Quercus Hex L.), cork oaks (Quercus suber L.), and even Aleppo pines (Pinus halepensis), and on mountainous massifs. Not very demanding in terms of soil, it can be found mainly on limestone, at meso- and supra-Mediterranean levels, in a sub-humid bioclimate. It can appear very locally in semi-arid bioclimates (Boudy, 1950). This plant is used in traditional Algerian medicine as a diuretic, stomach tonic and disinfectant (Baba A'issa, 1991).

Materials and Methods Plant material

Specimens of Juniperus phoenicea were collected from Ain Bezzez in the Naddor massif (eastern of Tiaret province) and Juniperus oxycedrus was collected from the western forest of Tiaret. Fruits and leaves were collected during their flowering period in January 2022 (Fig. 1-3).

Fig. 1. Location of the sampling sites.

Fig. 3. Juniperus phoenecea. Extraction of the essential oils

All samples were air-dried at room temperature in the dark and stored in paper bags in a cool, dry and dark place. Once the plants were dried, we hydro distilled them for 3 h using a Clevenger. The oil obtained was collected and dried by anhydrous sodium sulphate and collected in opaque glass bottles stored at 4-5°C. The yield was calculated on the basis of the dry weight of the samples in percent.

Analysis of essential oils

The essential oils of Juniperus phoenecea and Juniperus Oxycedrus were analysed by Heweltt Packard 6890 N gas chromatography, driven by a HP5MS capillary column of 30 m length, 0.25 mm internal diameter and 0.25 pm film thickness. The analyses were carried out at isothermal temperatures, programmed at 60°C for 8 min, and then at a variable increase between 2°C and 250°C for 10 min. This operation was 113 minutes. The volume injected 0.2 pl at 250°C with one analysis mode. Scan Tic (35 to 600) and a solvent delay of 3.5 min at 280°C. The gas chromatograph is coupled to an Agilent 5973 mass spectrometer. The helium carrier gas was of N6.0 purity with a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min managed in split 1:100 mode. Ionisation was performed by electron impact at 70 ev, with an ion source temperature of 270°C. The results obtained were processed by Workstation 8 software, supported by the software's internal database and by the NIST and AMDIS database. A series of alkanes was injected under the same operating conditions in order to calculate the retention index for each peak detected.

Antimicrobial activity

The sensitivity of microbial strains to essential oils was studied using the disc diffusion method against bacterial strains (Perez et al., 1990). The standards obtained were Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtiiis ATCC 11778, Escherichia coiiATCC 25922, Pseudomenas aurus ATCC 27853 and a yeast Candidas albicans ATCC 10231. Whatman sterile discs (6 mm diameter) were impregnated with 10 pL of essential oil and placed on the central surfaces of Müller Hinton agar inoculated with a bacterial or fungal suspension. After diffusion, the petri dishes were incubated at 37 C for 24 h for bacteria and at 25 C for 48 h for yeast, the diameters of the clear inhibition zones were measured with a caliper. All tests were performed in triplicate and the antibacterial sensitivity of the oils was expressed as the average of the inhibition diameters produced (in mm).

Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)

MIC is the lowest concentration of essential oil at which no bacterial entrainment is observed. The calculation of MIC was performed by the microdilution method (Andrews, 2001), using 96-well plates. A fixed volume of Mueller Hinton broth placed in each well followed by the presence of each strain tested and a dilution of the essential oil, with the exception of the positive control consisting of 100ul MH broth with 20 ul inoculum and the negative control consisting of MH broth alone. Plates were incubated for 24 hours, distinguishing susceptible from resistant strains for each concentration by the presence (+) or absence (-) of a deposit at the bottom of the well and the cloudiness.

Results and Discussion Chemical composition of essential oils

GC-MS analysis (Table 1) (Fig. 4) of the essential oils obtained from J. phenecea with a yield of 0.8% showed the presence of seventeen identified compounds representing 90.3% of the total oil composition. The main compounds were p-pinene (35.7%), followed by a-pinene (21.3%) beta-copaene (8.3%), p-cymene (6.6%), Y-terpinene (3.7%), Y-muurlene (3.6%), (E)-p-caryophyllene (2.1%).

Many studies have been carried out on the chemical composition of J. phenecea oil in different regions. Derwich et al, 2001 in Tunisia, found that the yield of essential oil of J. phoenecea was 1.62% and the main compound in the aerial parts was a-pinene

(49.15%), followed by a-phyllandrene (7.39%), mycene (5.24%), p-pinene (3, 58%), linalool (2.54%), piperitone (1.56%), y-terpinene (1.28%), trans-pinocarveole (1.23%) p-cymene (1.10%), a-terpineol (1.02%) and Y-cardinene (1.01%). By comparison of our results, we noted, the absence of a-pherlandrene and the presence of a p-pinene component (35.7%) as the first major component; however, p-myrcene and caryophyllene oxide and 4-Epi-Cubebol shows a lower yield in the order (1.3% and 0.1%, respectively). This variation could be due to geographical and bioclimatic factors of the provinces. On the other hand (Fouad et al., 2011) in Morocco revealed the presence of sixty-three volatile compounds that represent 52-92% of the total petroleum compositions. The main monoterpenes were a-pinene (26.7-78.7%) and 5-3carene (7.6-15.4%). According to (Ramdani et al., 2013) collected from Boutaleb (Setif), Boussaada (M'sila), Menaa and T'kout (Batna), and Elhadjab (Biskra) showed that the average yield of essential oil from the samples is 0.82%, The chemical composition of J. Phoenecea is dominated by the presence of a major product, a-pinene (36.3-55.9%). Three components are represented with high concentrations, terpinolene (0-13%), A3-carene (0-12.4%) and p-phellandrene (0-7.3%). Another work showed that the main components of J. phenecea leaf oil (Abdeli et al., 2018) were mainly composed of p-phellandrene (44.9%), a-pinene (20.3%), myrcene (8.2%), a-phellandrene (4.5%) p-cymene (3.0%) and limonene (2.5%). Harhour et al., 2018; found that the main constituents a-Pinene (67.7 4.3%) were the main compound oils, followed by 5-3-carene (26.8 2.3%) and a-cedrol (7 1.1%). From the comparison study between the cited works and the results found, we note the presence of several similar products at comparable concentrations, the only difference being the presence in the extracted oils of p-Pinene as the majority product, unlike the other studies where the majority product is a-Pinene.

GC-MS analysis (Table 2) (Fig. 5) of J. Oxycedrus oil with a yield of 1.8% showed the presence of thirteen identified compounds representing 90.3% of the total oil composition. The main compounds were a-pinene (29.1%), p-copaene (19.3%), p-pinene (17.6%), limonene (12.1%), a-fenchene (5.1%), (E)-p-caryophyllene (3.7%) and p-ylangene (2.5%). Many studies have identified the chemical composition of J. oxycedrus oil in different regions. J. oxycedrus from Djelfa (Algeria) (Dob et al., 2006) showed that the main components were trans-pinocarveol (7.0%), cis-verbenol (6.3%) and manoyl oxide (6.0%), respectively. The main constituents identified by Fadel et al. in 2019 were manoyl oxide (23.5%), pentadecane-2-enene 6Z (12.6%), abietatriene (8.0%), abieta-8,11,13-triene-7-one (6.5%), cubebol (4.6%), epi-torilenol (3.8%) and a-cadinol (2.6%). Regarding the work of (Boudiba et al., 2021), the main constituents found in the fruit oil were a-pinene (57.5%), a-amorphene (9.0%), p-myrcene (8.0%), 5-cadinene (1.7%), manoyloxide (1.5%) and zonarene (1.4%). Several studies on the same plant from different parts of the world collected in

e

El pennon (Spain) (Adams, 1998) revealed that the main compounds were a-Pinene (41.3%) (a-Phellandrene (8.2%) p-Cymene (6.2%). From Crysortis (Greece) (Adams et al., 1999) found that the main components a-Pinene (42.7%), Limonene (17.1%), d-3-Carene (13.7%). Angioni et a., 2003; from Sardinia (Italy) the main constituents were a-Pinene (85.6%) d-3-Carene (2.8%) c-Terpinene (1.4%). According to (Loizzo et al., 2007); J. oxycedrusssp. oxycedrus berry oil was characterised by high contents of a-pinene (27.4%) and p-myrcene (18.9%). Other important compounds were a-phellandrene (7.1%), limonene (6.7%) and 5-cadinene (2.2%). For Alan et al., 2016; the main compounds in the oil of J. oxycedrus from Turkey were manoyl oxide (32.8%) and caryophyll oxide (11.9%) in the leaf oil, myrcene (44.6%), a-pinene (19.9%) and D-germ (15.5%) in the berry oil, and manoyl oxide (35.4%) and caryophyll oxide (16.8%) in the twigs.

J. phoenecea oil exerts strong antibacterial activity against the referenced strains tested. It was found that Staphylococcus aureus ATCC11778 seems to be extremely most sensitive to J. phoenecea oil tested with a diameter of 47 mm and moderately sensitive with our oil against strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa: ATCC10231 and Candida albicans yeast: ATCC10231) with a diameter of 28mm and weakly sensitive with Escherichia coli. ATCC25922 and Bacillus cereus. ATCC25923 with a diameter of 20 mm. The results are read as follows (Djabou et al., 2013).

• Resistant (-): diameter < 8 mm

• Moderately sensitive (+): diameter between 8 and 14 mm.

• Sensitive (++): diameter between 14 and 20 mm.

• Extremely sensitive (+++): diameter >20 mm.

Actually, the essential oil of J. oxycedrus berries showed different inhibitory activities on the strains. Especially against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC11778, exerted medium activity with a diameter of 20 mm, on the other hand phoenecea oil significantly inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC11778. While a significant and higher activity than phoenecea oil was found against Escherichia coli. ATCC25922 and Candidas albicans: ATCC10231 with a diameter of 30 mm and against Bacillus cereus. ATCC25923 with a diameter of 25 mm. Pseudomonas aeruginosa: ATCC10231 which is also a gram negative bacterium showed the smallest diameter of 21 mm against the oxycedar oil. The inhibitory power of the essential oils was confirmed by MIC tests. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in pg/ml of the essential oils of J. phoenicea and J. oxycedrus obtained by the direct contact method are shown in Table 4 and 5, where they were strongly correlated with the diameters of the inhibition zones. According to the sensitivity, the lowest MIC (3.12 pg/mL) was obtained for the essential oil of J. phoenecea on the strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: ATCC10231 and Bacillus cereus. ATCC25923. In the case of J. oxycedrus essential oil, the MIC value was not determined against the Staphylococcus aureus strain ATCC11778, which proved to be extremely resistant.

Our results reveal that our plant oil collected from the Tiaret region showed a good inhibitory activity on Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa: ATCC10231 and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. ATCC11778; on the other hand, it is weakly active on the Escherichia coiistrain: ATCC25922. The bacteria most sensitive to the action of the essential oils studied in our study are the Gram-positive bacteria. According to the zones of inhibition and MIC values generated by the essential oils studied, the essential oil of J. phoenecea presents the best activity on all the strains tested. Of the two oils tested, the antimicrobial

activities were recorded on all the strains are almost in agreement with those reported by (Rahhal et al., 2019) in which it was shown against Staphylococcus aureus by J. oxycedrus oil. On the other hand, according to the study of (Sela et al., 2013) revealed lower activities when compared to the activity found in our study which enhances the antibacterial effect of J. J. oxycedrus oil (<20 mm) towards Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candidas albicans strains. The inhibitory effect of J.phenecea oil against the strains shows significant results compared to the studies of (Rahhal et al., 2019, Mazari et al., 2010; Ennajar et al., 2009) shows no antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. Other works such as (Abdeli, 2018) show significant results against Bacillus and Candidas albicans by a diameter of 34.67 mm and against Escherichia coli, with a similar effect to our results on Candidas albicans (Bouyahyaoui et al., 2016). These results are difficult to compare as the methods used are different. The choice of the extraction protocol, other factors such as climate, region and harvesting period of the species studied..., etc., are all factors that may influence the results. Therefore, the structural of the cell wall of (Gram+) bacteria is less complex than that of (Gram-) bacteria. This structural difference makes it less sensitive to the effects of essential oils and plant extracts (Kalemba and Kunicka, 2003). According to (Nikaido, 2003); Gram- negative bacteria have the outer membrane as an effective permeability barrier; the lipopolysaccharide, thanks to its negative surface charges prevents the diffusion of hydrophobic molecules, while Gram+ positive bacteria are less protected because the wall is formed by a peptidoglycan layer only which hinders the diffusion of molecular weights at 50 KD. The chemical composition of the essential oils studied for their antibacterial activity is dominated by the presence of hydrocarbon molecules. Many works have also confirmed that the activity of essential oils is related to most of the compounds and to a possible synergy between the components (Oussou et al., 2008; Oussou et al., 2010; Saint, 2003, Kalemba and Kunicka, 2003).

Conclusion

The essential oil of the aerial part of J. oxycedrus is mainly dominated by the hydrocarbon monoterpene class (69.2%). It should be noted that this family is characterised by the abundance of a-pinene (29.1%) and p-pinene (17.6%). The hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes (27.2%) are clearly dominated by p-copaene (19.3%). While, the J. phoenecea essential oil profile is also characterised by its richness in hydrocarbon monoterpenes (71.2%) with p-pinene (35.7%) as the majority compound. The results of this work show that the variation in the chemical composition of J. phoenecea and J. oxycedrus essential oils in the Tiaret region may be due to various factors such as: collection region, harvesting season, species and subspecies, plant parts and fruit maturity, as well as to the extraction method used, genetic background of the species or environmental factors such as altitude, climate, soils and precipitations. The microbiological study revealed that our oils possess antimicrobial properties, which can be used as natural antimicrobial agents for human and especially infectious pathologies and also as food or in medicinal formulations. In addition, the presence of major compounds such as terpenes (a-pinene, p-pinene, limonene, sabinene) in these oils, they promote it and give it this faculty to have this strong antimicrobial and antifungal activity very interesting.
