摘要
The results on the biological activities of the in vitro culture of Graphis guimarana, G. nakanishiana and G. schizograpta lichen are reported. The methanolic extracts of natural thalli and their cultures were found to inhibit tyrosinase, xanthine oxidase and to scavenge superoxide. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
