In the present work, the volatiles of mosses [Hylocomium  splendens (Hedw.)  Schimp.  (Hylocomiaceae) and Leucodon sciuroides  (Hedw.)  Schwägr.  (Leucodontaceae)] have been investigated by GC-FID  and GC/MS. Fifty-eight compounds in the oil of H. splendens,  representing 75.4%, and 41 compounds in the oil of L. sciuroides,  representing 87.6%, were identified.  The major components were found  to be b-pinene (11.6%) and a-pinene (8.9%) in the oil of  H. splendens, and nonanal (26.8%) and heptanal (13.7%) in the oil of  L. sciuroides.  The essential oil of H. splendens was rich in  monoterpenes (30.8%), and aldehydes (49.9%) were the major  constituents in the oil of L. sciuroides.  The antimicrobial  activities of the isolated essential oils of the mosses were also  investigated.  The essential oil of H. splendens showed antibacterial  activities against Escherichia coli, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis,  Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus,  Mycobacterium smegmatis, and the fungus Candida albicans with minimum  inhibition concentrations in the range of 428--857 m g/mL,  respectively.  The oil of L. sciuroides only showed activity against  fungus C. albicans (711 m g/mL).
