Climate‐specific biosynthetic gene clusters in populations of a lichen‐forming fungus
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 4260-4275, August 2021., 2021 Summary Natural products can contribute to abiotic stress tolerance in plants and fungi. We hypothesize that biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), the genomic elements that underlie natural product biosynthesis, display structured differences along elevation gradients.

Radical-scavenging Potential of Phenolic Compounds from Brazilian Lichens
Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry, 2015 Lichens produce a wide range of phenolic substances, mostly depsides and depsidones. As part of our ongoing study of lichens from the Cerrado biome in Mato Grosso do Sul state, the present article reports novel findings on the radical-scavenging ...

Anticancer Potential of Lichens’ Secondary Metabolites
Biomolecules, 2020 Lichens produce different classes of phenolic compounds, including anthraquinones, xanthones, dibenzofuranes, depsides and depsidones. Many of them have revealed effective biological activities such as antioxidant, antiviral, antibiotics, antifungal, and
