Antimicrobial Compounds Isolated from Endolichenic Fungi: A Review

Endolichenic fungi are a group of micro fungi that resides asymptomatically within the thalli of lichens. Endolichenic fungi can be recognized as luxuriant metabolic artists that produce propitious bioactive secondary metabolites. Recognizing this timely need and the significance of endolichenic fungi as a promising source of antimicrobial compounds, the activity, sources and the structures of 31 antibacterial compounds, 58 antifungal compounds, two antiviral compounds and one antiplas- modial (antimalarial) compound are summarized in this review.
