Cytotoxicity, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of mosses obtained from open habitats.

Mosses are mainly the object of ecological and taxonomic research. This group of plants are still underestimated by scientists in other aspects of research. Recent research has shown that these plants contain remarkable and unique substances with high biological activity. Five species of mosses from...

description Mosses are mainly the object of ecological and taxonomic research. This group of plants are still underestimated by scientists in other aspects of research.
