Abstract
Effects of the nitrogen sources in the medium for the production of seconda ry metabolites in lichens were examined. The usnic acid production by a myc obiont of the lichen Usnea hirta was higher in the liquid medium containing ammonium and nitrate ions than in those containing amino acids..
