    Author: Fico G, Panizzi L, Flamini G, Braca A, Morelli I, Tomè F, Cioni PL.
    Journal: Phytother Res; 2004 Jun; 18(6):468-70. PubMed ID: 15287071.
    Abstract:
    The essential oil, various extracts at different polarity, fractions, and pure compounds obtained from Nigella damascena plants and seeds were screened for biological activity. Antimicrobial tests showed the essential oil to be active only against Gram positive bacteria; among the extracts, the BuOH was active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Molluscicidal activity was absent.
