  • Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activity of Evernia Prunastri Extracts and Their Isolates

Koptina2 Received: 15 April 2021 / Accepted: 23 June 2021 / Published online: 7 July 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Lichens are symbiotic organisms formed by a fungus and one or more photosynthetic partners which are usually alga or cyanobacterium. Their diverse and scarcely studied metabolites facilitate adaptability to extreme living conditions. We investigated Evernia prunastri (L.) Ach., a widely distributed lichen, for its antimicrobial and antioxidant potential. E. prunastri was sequentially extracted by hexane (Hex), dichloromethane (DCM) and acetonitrile (ACN) that were screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial (against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans) activities. The Hex extract possessed the highest antioxidant capacity (87 mg ascorbic acid/g extract) corresponding to the highest content of phenols (73 mg gallic acid/g extract). The DCM and Hex extracts were both active against S. aureus (MICs of 4 and 21 µg/ml, respectively) but were less active against Gram-negative bacteria and yeast. The ACN extract exhibited activity on both S. aureus (MIC 14 µg/ml) and C. albicans (MIC 38 µg/ml) and was therefore further fractionated by silica gel column chromatography. The active compound of the most potent fraction was subsequently char- acterized by 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and identifed as evernic acid.

I want to thank my tutor Isabelle Joos for suggesting Kingley Vale NNR and guiding me during the year. I thank my uncle Guido Bonamie for lending me his microscope and invertebrate books and for helping me with some identifications of invertebrates. I thank Lies Vandercoilden for eliminating my spelling and grammar faults. Thanks to all the people helping with identifications of invertebrates: Guido Bonamie, Jon Webb, Matthew Shepherd, Bryan Goethals.

  • Secret of Scent
    Smells –unconscious component in our behavior Pizza-smell is added to the air conditioning of shopping malls to put you in the mood to visit the restaurants. “Ok, sweetheart, you look bored. Let’s have a bite before we continue.” The “new car “ smell is used just before you take a test ride in a used car dealership. You feel much better than in your old warthog that smells like food and burnt oil. Cake-baking aroma is spread in the kitchen of a house by the real estate agent or owner who wants to sell it. Perfume is used by guys & girls to draw attention or suggest a highly cultivated lifestyle. Garden stores can smell like fertilizer or like flowers. Which one will sell better? Hospitals & waiting rooms can have the aseptic smell of of carbolic acid or the distracting smell of flowers. A female perfume would be really irritasting! Smells –unconscious component in our behavior Odor greatly affects our evaluation of things and people. Only 20 % of the perfume industries income comes from perfuming humans, 80 % comes from ‘perfuming” the things of our daily life. Anosmia or the loss of the ability to smell leads to depression and a life where you recognize your food just by the taste alone; salty, bitter, hot , cold, sweet. Also your sex drive disappears. What? … Already the ancient Greeks “healed” sex offenders by cutting off their …………. Noses! Why are the noses of many ancient statues broken. Do they all represent sex offenders ? Oh my .

In this study, Evernia prunastri, a lichen growing in its natural habitat in Morocco was analysed for the concentration of five heavy metals (Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cr) from eleven sites between Kenitra and Mohammedia cities. The control site was Dar Essalam, an isolated area with low traffic density and dense vegetation. In the investigated areas, the concentration of heavy metals was correlated with vehicular traffic, industrial activity and urbanization. The total metal concentration was highest in Sidi Yahya, followed by Mohammedia and Bouznika. The coefficient of variation was higher for Pb and lower for Cu, Zn and Fe. The concentrations of most heavy metals in the thalli differed significantly between sites (p<0.01). Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed a significant correlation between heavy metal accumulation and atmospheric purity index. This study demonstrated also that the factors most strongly affecting the lichen flora were traffic density, the petroleum industry and paper factories in these areas. Overall, these results suggest that the index of atmospheric purity and assessment of heavy metals in lichen thalli are good indicators of the air quality at the studied sites.
