Screening of antimicrobial potential of methanolic, acetone and quencher extracts from <i>Cladonia rangiformis</i> Hoffm. and <i>Cladonia pocillum</i> Ach.
Abstract:This study compared the efficacy of two species of lichen located in Tunisia belonging to <i>Cladonia rangiformis</i> and <i>Cladonia pocillum</i> species. The antibacterial and antifungal potentials of methanol, acetone and quencher extracts of <i>C. rangiformis</i> and <i>C. pocillum</i> and the lysozyme activity of both methanol extracts were investigated. The results showed that the examined extracts had antimicrobial properties against gram-positive and gram… Show more
