Graphycal Abstract: The essential oil of Marrubium deserti from Bechar (Algeria) was investigated to determine its chemical composition, physico-chemical characteristics,the antibacterial and antifungal activities. The findings showed that α-phellandrene (25.05%), β-pinene (14.05%), and α-pinene (12.83%) were the major compounds of this oil. Moreover, it was displayed that the studied essential oil has good antibacterial power as well as a strong inhibitory effect on spore sporulation, germination, and pathogen fungus development.
