Yemets O., Gauslaa Y. & Solhaug K.A. (2015): Monitoring with lichens – Conductivity methods assess salt and heavy metal damage more efficiently than chlorophyll fluorescence, Ecological Indicators, 56: 59–64

In the lab, we exposed three foliose lichen species, Lobaria pulmonaria, Parmelia sulcata and Xanthoria aureola, to 0, 0.01, 0.2, and 0.6 M NaCl in combinations with copper and zinc (0, 10, 100, 500 μM). High salt concentrations adversely affected the lichen membrane integrity as measured by conductivity methods, whereas the potential photosystem II efficiency (Fv/Fm) was tolerant. High light was necessary to reduce Fv/Fm in thalli exposed to salt, whereas high light did not aggravate the conductivity. … Read more...

Yemets O.A., Solhaug K.A. & Gauslaa Y. (2014): Spatial dispersal of airborne pollutants and their effects on growth and viability of lichen transplants along a rural highway in Norway, Lichenologist, 46(6): 809–823

This study aims to quantify dispersal of airborne traffic-related elemental pollutants and concurring responses – relative growth rate (RGR), maximal quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), and chlorophylls (Chl ab) – in four epiphytic lichens (Lobaria pulmonaria, Parmelia sulcata, Ramalina farinacea, Usnea dasopoga). Lichens were transplanted from 25 September to 26 March to 1 Read more...

Yenigun S., Ipek Y., Marah S., Demirtas I. & Ozen T. (2024): DNA protection, molecular docking, antioxidant, antibacterial, enzyme inhibition, and enzyme kinetic studies for parietin, isolated from Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr., Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 42(2): 848–862

Parietin was isolated from Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr.’ (methanol:chloroform) extract, using a silica column. 13 C NMR and 1H NMR were used to confirm the structure of the isolated parietin. For the first time, parietin was investigated for its antioxidant, antibacterial and DNA protective activities. Molecular docking was carried out to determine the binding affinity and interactions between the enzymes and our molecule. Inhibition and kinetic mechanism studies for the action of the enzymes were … Read more...

Yenisoy-Karakaş S. & Tuncel S.G. (2004): Geographic patterns of elemental deposition in the Aegean region of Turkey indicated by the lichen, Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr., Science of the Total Environment, 329: 43-60

Lichen samples from different parts of the world have been known to accumulate elements to a greater degree than higher plants, if they are exposed to these elements from the atmosphere or from water and sediments. It has been hypothesized that lichens can be used to monitor air pollution around point and area emission sources. Local variation (variation in substrate, age and morphology of lichen samples) of element concentrations would not be large enough to affect the concentration patterns … Read more...

The foliicolous lichens Aspidothelium hirsutum and Caprettia goderei are described as new from the Godere Forest in southwestern Ethiopia, the former also found in the Kakamega Forest in Kenya. Read more...

Yiğit M. & Halici M.G. (2024): DNA barcoding of some lichenized and lichenicolous fungi from Galindez Island (Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica), Current Trends in Natural Sciences, 13(25): 61–72

Galindez Island (65° 15′ S, 64° 15′ W) is one of the Argentine Islands located in the West Antarctic Peninsula, 5-6 km away from the main continent. It has a total surface area of 0.8 km2 and an annual temperature range of 9–13°С. There are not many studies providing information about lichenized fungi on Galindez Island. This study aimed to DNA barcode some lichenized and lichenicolous fungi from Galindez Island (Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica). Lichenized fungi were collected from Galindez … Read more...

Yiğit M. & Halıcı M.G. (2025): Contributions to the knowledge of the lichenized fungal genera Amandinea, Buellia and Tetramelas (Ascomycota, Caliciaceae) in Antarctica, Polar Biology, 48: 15 [26 p.]

Lichenized fungi are the dominant elements of the Antarctic terrestrial vegetation. Recently, biodiversity studies of lichenized fungi in Antarctica have increased and the studies have started to become more phylogeny-based. Previous studies on the genera Amandinea, Buellia and Tetramelas in Antarctica and also Southern Hemisphere were mostly based on their anatomical-morphological and chemical properties. The present study is aimed at contributing to these three buellioid genera in Antarctica especially … Read more...
