RETRACTED: Antioxidant and antibacterial properties of some cultured lichens

This article has been retracted at the request of the editors and authors. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).Reason: This paper appears to be very similar to another paper by the same authors which was published about the same time: “Tissue Culture of Some Lichens and Screening of Their Antioxidant, Antityrosinase and Antibacterial Properties”, B.C. Behera, Neeraj Verma, Anjali Sonone and Urmila Makhija, Phytother. Res., 21 (2007) 1159–1170.The similarity is too great to justify two primary publications.
