Abstract
This work represents the results of a determination of the elemental composition of lichen thallus as a promising, ecologically pure, and renewable raw material for biotechnological processing. The content of toxic elements and heavy metals in the samples analyzed does not exceed their maximum allowable concentrations and therefore does not preclude the possibility of use of these lichens as a renewable raw material for biotechnology. Indeed, the samples contained 20 macro- and microelements and 9 trace elements that would be valuable in a food source. These include the elements Fe, Mg, and Ca, required for prevention of deficiency diseases. (Int J Biomed. 2015;6(1):85-86.).
