La production de composés bénéfiques par les lichens est devenue un domaine d'intérêt pour la recherche lichénologique. Les 6 espèces les plus courantes ont été examinées pour leurs propriétés antimicrobiennes et antioxydantes. Parmi elles, l'extrait d'acétone de P. austrosinense a produit une activité antimicrobienne substantielle. Toutefois, ces dernières années, l'accent a été mis sur la production de composés médicinaux par les mycobiontes cultivés. La présente étude s'est concentrée sur la production d'acide lécanorique à partir de l'extrait d'une culture de...

Production of beneficial compounds by lichen has become a field of interest in lichenological research. The most commonly available 6 species were screened for antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Among them, the acetone extract of P.austrosinense produced substantial antimicrobial activity. However, in recent years, much emphasis has been paid on the cultured mycobiont production of medicinal compounds. The present study concentrated on lecanoric acid production from the extract of mycobiont culture of P.austrosinense with the effect of carbon, nitrogen source, pH and temperature....
