Analyzing the antagonistic potential of the lichen microbiome against pathogens by bridging metagenomic with culture studies

Naturally occurring antagonists towards pathogens play an important role to avoid pathogen outbreaks in ecosystems, and they can be applied as biocontrol agents for crops. Lichens present long-living symbiotic systems continuously exposed to pathogens. To analyze the antagonistic potential in lichen...
