Tiwari, P./ Rai, H./ Upreti, D.K./ Trivedi, S./ Shukla, P. 2011: Assessment of antifungal activity of some Himalayan foliose lichens against plant pathogenic fungi. - American Journal of Plant Sciences 2: 841-846. [RLL List # 266 / Rec.# 43031]
Abstract: In vitro antifungal activity of the acetone, methanol and chloroform extracts of four lichen species viz, Bulbothirx setschwanensis, Everniastrum nepalense, Heterodermia diademata, Parmelaria thomsonii were investigated against seven plant pathogenic fungi (Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, F. rose- um and Penicillium citrinum) with reference to commercially available synthetic antifungal drug Ketoconazole (positive control). Lichen secondary metabolites were extracted using Soxhlet extractor and were further recovered through gen- tle evaporation of solvents in rotary evaporator. Antifungal activity was analysed employing Bauer-Kirby disc diffu- sion assay. Acetone and methanol extracts of lichenized fungi were found more effective against tested plant pathogenic fungi. Principal component analysis concluded that though, Ketoconazole was effective against four of the tested plant pathogenic fungi, acetone and methanol extracts of lichens were comparatively more effective against some broad spectrum plant pathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, F. roseum).
