  The protective role of lichens are getting more important. In this study, the antigenotoxic and antimutagenic activity of the methanol extracts of four lichen species (Anaptychia ciliaris, Bryoria fuscescens, Parmotrema chinensa and Xanthoria candelaria) were investigated. Sister Chromatid Exchange (SCE) test were used for determining the genotoxic contamination and the results showed that four lichen extracts inhibited the mutagenic effects of AFB1. Three different concentrations used and it was determined that the most effective concentration is 20 μg/mL againts the mutagenic effects of AFB1. In addition, the antioxidant effects of A. ciliaris, B. fuscescens, P. chinensa and X. candelaria were determined by measuring the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione (GSH) and level of malondialdehyde (MDA) against the oxidative stress of A..
