Girardot M., Millot M., Hamion G., Billard J.-., Juin C., Ntoutoume G.M.A.N., Sol V., Mambu L. & Imbert C. (2021): Lichen polyphenolic compounds for the eradication of Candida albicans biofilms, Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 11: 698883

Lichens, due to their symbiotic nature (association between fungi and algae), constitute a chemical factory of original compounds. Polyphenolic compounds (depsides and depsidones) are the main constituents of lichens and are exclusively biosynthesized by these organisms. A panel of 11 polyphenols was evaluated for their anti-biofilm activity against Candida albicans biofilms on the maturation phase (anti-maturation) (MMIC50) as well as on preformed 24-h-old biofilm (anti-biofilm) (MBIC50) using the … URL EN Read more...

Mark C.J., Painting C.J., O’Hanlon J.C. & Holwell G.I. (2021): Lichen moths do not benefit from ‘element imitation’ masquerade in the absence of a matching background, Evoutionary Ecology, 35: 401-412

Predation places significant selection pressures on prey species and many have evolved incredible and diverse colour patterns in response. A fascinating example of such adaptive colouration and morphology is masquerade, a camouflage strategy in which organisms resemble innocuous and inedible objects, such as leaves or twigs. Masquerading prey avoid predation by being misclassified as irrelevant parts of the environment, rather than as food. Here we assess a putative case of masquerade in the North … URL EN Read more...

Sargsyan R.R., Tsurykau A. & Panosyan H. (2021): Lichen Microbiome: Diversity biological role and biotechnological application, , 195-213

Lichens were traditionally considered as a remarkable assemblage of fungi with unicellular phototroph (algae or cyanobacteria) that have converged on similar symbiotic strategies. However, this view of lichens has recently been reconsidered by findings of miscellaneous associated microbes colonizing on or within the thallus causing no apparent effect. This hidden diversity includes filamentous fungi, lichen-inhabiting yeasts, as well as various prokaryotic bacteria. Despite these endothallic and … URL EN Read more...

Lebreton E., Ertz D., Lücking R., Aptroot A., Carriconde F., Ah-Peng C., Huang J.-P., Chen K.-H., Stenger P.-L., Cáceres M.E.S., van den Boom P., Sérusiaux E. & Magain N. (2025): Global phylogeny of the family Gomphillaceae (Ascomycota, Graphidales) sheds light on the origin, diversification and endemism in foliicolous lineages, IMA Fungus, 16: e144194 [61 p.]

Foliicolous lichens grow on living leaves of vascular plants. They are mostly found in tropical to subtropical or temperate rainforests. Many phenotype-based species are considered as pantropical or even sub-cosmopolitan, either attributed to old ages, having existed prior to continental breakups or long-distance dispersal. We built a much expanded, global phylogeny of Gomphillaceae, the most diverse group of leaf-dwelling lichenised fungi. Our sampling encompassed six major biodiversity hotspots: … URL EN Read more...

Stojković D., Živković J., Bolevich S., Bolevich S., Zengin G., Gašić U. & Soković M. (2025): Chemical profiling and in vitro evaluation of bioactive properties of Evernia prunastri extract: Implications for therapeutic applications, Plants, 14(4): 583 [15 p.]

Evernia prunastri (L.) Ach. (Parmeliaceae), an edible lichen commonly known as oakmoss, was traditionally used by Egyptians to make bread. In this study, the ethyl-acetate (EtOAc) extract of E. prunastri was investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, oxidative stress, and bacterial infections. The extract exhibited significant in vitro enzyme inhibition activities, including anti-amylase and anti-glucosidase activities linked … URL EN Read more...

Bao R., Tang K., Ji Y., Zhang S., Wang C., Liang Y., Zhao X. & Meng J. (2025): Spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial community assembly and co-occurrence patterns in biological soil crusts of desert ecosystems, Microorganisms, 13(2): 446 [14 p.]

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) play a fundamental role in desert ecosystems by stabilizing soil, cycling nutrients, and retaining moisture. However, the assembly processes governing bacterial communities within BSCs remain largely unknown. This study aimed to reveal the spatiotemporal variations in the bacterial community diversity, co-occurrence patterns, and ecological assembly processes of BSCs and their underlying soils across different desert and seasonal conditions. We systematically analyzed … URL EN Read more...

Cordero R.A.S., Garrido A., Pérez-Molina J.P., Ramírez-Alán Ó. & Chávez J.L. (2021): Lichen community structure and richness in three mid-elevation secondary forests in Costa Rica, Revista de Biologia Tropical, 69(2): 688-699

Lichen diversity, community structure, composition and species abundance have been used as indicators of the integrity and ecological continuity of tropical forest ecosystems. Objectives: To assess corticolous lichen species composition, diversity, and ecological importance of three forested stands differing in time of abandonment as indicators of how passive restoration influences the lichen community assemblage. Methods: We surveyed individual lichens on tree stems of a reference old secondary … URL EN Read more...

Punjani B., Raval J. & Upreti D. (2021): Lichen Diversity at Shivrajpur Coast, Devbhoomi Dwarka, including New Additions to Gujarat state, India, Cryptogam Biodiversity and Assessment, 5(1): 6-10

The field excursions were arranged during 2015–2017 to prepare a checklist of the lichens in Shivrajpur, district Devbhoomi Dwarka, located on India’s west coast. The vegetation of the studied sites comprises dry deciduous and scrub/thorny forests. A total of 44 lichen specimens were collected, revealing 16 species within nine genera belonging to five families. Arthoniaceae dominated with six species, followed by Roccellaceae with four species, Lichinaceae, Peltulaceae, and Lecanographaceae with … URL EN Read more...
