Abstract

The article considers biological features of lichens. Lichens are wide-spread in the nature and are able to grow on a variety of substrates. An analysis of the biological composition of lichens has been carried out. Attention is given to the fact that lichen substances have a wide range of medical properties including antimicrobial, antimycotic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, anti-proliferative and cytotoxic.
