Abstract

Lichens are fungi that live in intimate symbiotic association with green algae or cyanobacteria. Nine lichen species were collected and identified as Flavoparmelia caperata (L.) Ach., Roccella montagnei Bèl. Emend. Awas., Teloschistes flavicans (Swartz) Norm., Physcia aipolia (Ehrh. ex Humb.) Furnr., Parmotrema austrosinensis (Zahlbr.) Hale, P. grayanum (Hue) Hale, P. tinctorum Nyl., P. reticulatum (Taylor) Choisy and Usnea subflorida (Zahlbr.) Motyka. From which 45 extracts were prepared using Petroleum ether, Chloroform, Ethyl acetate, Acetone and Methanol solvents. Preliminary phytochemical screening for the presence of Tannins, Alkaloids, Saponins, Glycosides, Flavonoids, Proteins, Triterpenes, Carbohydrates and Steroids was carried out on aforesaid extracts.
