In vitro and in vivo assessment of antimicrobial, enzymatic, and antifouling properties of self ‐potent lichen symbiotic bacteria

In conclusion, the lichen bacterial symbiotic isolateB. proteolyticus exhibited significant in vitro and in vivo inhibition of foulants. This study highlights the potential of lichens as a valuable source of yet unexplored bacteria. The bacterial consortium associated withParmotrema sp. holds promise in combatting biofouling, which poses a substantial threat to the maritime industries and their economic stability.
