Phytochemical Composition of Lichen Parmotrema hypoleucinum (J. Steiner) Hale from Algeria

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This is very thorough research on lichen photochemistry. The authors have done great work on this. Especially for the compound identified by GCMS, if we have retention indices and reference RI that will surely help to make this research publication quality. For unidentified peaks, I would like to see a fragmentation pattern.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript entitled “Phytochemical composition of Lichen Parmotrema hypoleucinum (J. Steiner) Hale from Algeria” addresses a study for the chemical composition of hexane, chloroform and ethanol extracts from two samples of Parmotrema hypoleucinum lichen collected in Algeria.

The manuscript can be considered for publication after its improvement.

My suggestions are:

The abstract lacks purpose and a short conclusion.

Introduction:

The authors do not respect the rules of technical editing of the Journal. Quotations are written only by number. Ex line 68

The purpose is not detailed in the introduction either.

Results and Discussion

The results are well detailed, but the discussions are very brief. I recommend improving them.

The conclusion is very long and difficult to understand.

I recommend reformulating it.

Bibliographic references do not comply with the requirements of the Journal
