Abstract

Lichens have been used as medicines, dyes, perfumes, and food and drink stuffs since ancient times all over the world. Within the last two decades many pharmacologically active compounds have been isolated from lichens. However, mass harvesting of lichens as an industrial resource may lead to extinction of species. Therefore, if lichens are to be used in industrial applications, they must be cultured in vitro.
