Lichen and Its Microbiome as an Untapped Source of Anti‐Biofilm Compounds
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 17, 2025.Lichens and their associated fungi give rise to the evaluation of several extracts and compounds against biofilms. ABSTRACT Lichen substances have been first described in the 1870s, and around 10 000 compounds have been isolated and characterized. Most of them have been evaluated for their activity on planktonic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi ...

Conventional and innovative approaches to black fungi control for stone heritage preservation
IUBMB Life, Volume 77, Issue 3, March 2025.Abstract Black Meristematic Fungi (BMF) are characterized by a thick melanized cell wall and an isodiametric cellular expansion. BMF represent one of the most damaging groups of microorganisms causing the deterioration of outdoor exposed stone monuments mainly due to the formation of dark spots and patches leading to the darkening of their surface ...

Biosynthesis of Depsides, Depsidones, and Diphenyl Ethers from Fungi and Lichens
Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2025.Depsides are natural products derived from (poly)phenolic acid derivatives connected by ester bonds. Recent research has revealed crucial molecular mechanisms and distinctive enzymatic chemistry underlying the biosynthesis of depsides, as well as related natural products, such as depsidones and diphenyl ethers.

A Novel b-Orcinol Depsidone of Lichen Lobaria pulmonaria [PDF]
Asian Journal of Chemistry, 2014 In continuation of our phytochemical survey of Lobaria pulmonaria has led to the identification of deoxystictic acid in this foliose lichen species for the first time. The isolated β-orcinol depsidone showed moderate anti-hydroxyl radical activity using fluorescence spectroscopy at in vitro conditions.
