Allantoin content in lichens depends on anthropopressure level
Allantoin has been detected in several plant families but only few papers reported its presence in lichens. The 18 from 21 lichen species we tested contained detectable amount of allantoin with a range of 0.005–13.4 mg/g DW. Comparison of samples collected from the localities with various intensity...
