De Carolis R., Muggia L. & Bacaro G. (2023): Lichen and lichenicolous fungal communities tested as suitable systems for the application of cross-taxon analysis - Diversity, 15: 285 [12 p.]

Lichens are outstanding examples of fungal symbioses that form long-lived structures, the lichen thalli, in which a multiplicity of other microorganisms are hosted. Among these, microfungi seem to establish diverse trophic relationships with their lichen hosts. The most specialised of these fungi are the parasitic lichenicolous fungi, of which the diversity has hardly been explained as a proxy for the diversity of lichen species. Here, we used an exemplar dataset of a well-studied alpine lichen community … Read more...

Beimforde C., Schmidt A.R., Tuovila H., Kaulfuss U., Germer J., Lee W.G. & Rikkinen J. (2023): Chaenothecopsis (Mycocaliciales, Ascomycota) from exudates of endemic New Zealand Podocarpaceae - MycoKeys, 95: 101–129

The order Mycocaliciales (Ascomycota) comprises fungal species with diverse, often highly specialized substrate ecologies. Particularly within the genus Chaenothecopsis, many species exclusively occur on fresh and solidified resins or other exudates of vascular plants. In New Zealand, the only previously known species growing on plant exudate is Chaenothecopsis schefflerae, found on several endemic angiosperms in the family Araliaceae. Here we describe three new species; Chaenothecopsis matai … Read more...

Park J.S., Han S.-K. & Oh S.-O. (2023): Lecanora neobarkmaniana (Lecanorales, Lecanoraceae), a new lichen species from South Korea - Mycobiology, 51(1): 16–25

Lecanora is one of the largest genera of lichens worldwide. These lichens can be easily seen, and are commonly found on trees and rocks. Most Korean Lecanora species belong to the Lecanora subfusca group, which has well-defined superficial thallus, red–brown apothecia, and soredia. The new species of L. neobarkmaniana grows on rocks, farinose soredia coalescing, usually covering the whole thallus, and containing atranorin and zeorin. We used internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and mitochondrial … Read more...

Lendemer J.C. & Hollinger J.P. (2023): Schadonia saulskellyana (Pilocarpaceae; Lichenized Ascomycetes) an unusual new species endemic to the southern Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America - Bryologist, 126(1): 111–118

Schadonia saulskellyana is described as new to science based on material from the southern Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The species appears to be endemic to the region and mostly restricted to the bark of conifers. It is particularly abundant and frequent in the imperiled highelevation spruce-fir forests of the region. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by its corticolous habit, minutely areolate thallus with areoles that erupt into soralia which dissolve … Read more...

Rola K., Majewska E. & Chowaniec K. (2023): Interaction effect of fungicide and chitosan on non-target lichenized fungi - Chemosphere, 316: 137772

Excessive use of plant growth stimulants and pesticides is currently a considerable problem, especially in agriculture, horticulture, and arboriculture. Understanding the impacts of these compounds and their combinations on non-target organisms is crucial to minimize unintended consequences, while maintaining their use in plant protection. The aim of this study was to test how long-term spraying with different solutions of natural biostimulator chitosan, synthetic fungicide Switch 62.5 WG, and their … Read more...

Ashraf A., Habib K. & Khalid A. (2022): Leprocaulon nicholsiae and Candelaria asiatica Reported New to Pakistan - Biology Bulletin, 9(Suppl. 2): S73–S78

As a contribution to the lichen flora, two taxa of lichens are reported for the first time. The critical morpho-anatomical comparison and molecular phylogenetic construction based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS-5.8-ITS2) barcode region revealed the identity of two lichenized Ascomycetes Leprocaulon nicholsiae and Candelaria asiatica from Margalla Hills of Pakistan. Their existence here indicates their first contemporary report from South Asia. We present the taxonomic characters, ecology, distribution … Read more...

Becker T., Stahlmann C., Bayindir S., Dierschke H. & Bergmeier E. (2022): Syntaxonomy and diversity of acidic grasslands in the eastern Rhenish Massif (Western Germany) - Tuexenia, 42: 129-163

Colline/submontane acidic grasslands, elements of pre-industrial farming, are declining throughout Central Europe. As they correspond largely to the priority EU habitat type 6230 (Species-rich Nardus grasslands), a syntaxonomically sound delimitation is of importance. In the Rhenish Massif (Western Germany), acidic grasslands form diverse and syntaxonomically intricate vegetation patterns. We studied such grasslands in the Lahn-Dill district near Donsbach based on 292 original releves from 1987. … Read more...

Brovko O., Ivakhnov A., Zhiltsov D. & Boitsova T. (2022): Isolation of Chitin-Containing Complexes from the Thallus of the Lichen Species Peltigera aphthosa - Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 16(8): 1332-1340

Chitin-containing complexes were obtained from the thalli of the foliose lichen Peltigera aphthosa by supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) and acid-base hydrolysis. In an active designed experiment, the optimal SCFE conditions were determined, which made it possible to obtain a complex with a yield of 96% and a sorption capacity for methylene blue of 125 mg/g. The polyampholytic nature of the resulting sorbent complexes is shown, and their morphology and chemical composition are characterized. The … Read more...

Dwarakanath P., Abinaya K., Nagasathya K., Meenakumari S., Gopinath S. & Raman P. (2023): Profiling secondary metabolites from lichen "Parmotrema perlatum (Huds.) M.Choisy" and antibacterial and antioxidant potentials - Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, XX :1-11

Parmotrema perlatum lichen is traditionally used as a spice in Indian households and also to treat diseases such as eczema, respiratory diseases, pulmonary diseases, and arthritis. This study emphasizes the extraction of secondary metabolites from foliose lichen P. perlatum with antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The secondary metabolites extracted from P. perlatum using hexane, chloroform, and methanol were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass … Read more...

Phi K., So J., Kim J., Koo M., Kim J., Kim D., Lee J., Lee S. & Youn U. (2023): Chemical constituents from the Antarctic lichen Usnea aurantiaco-atra and their chemotaxonomic significance - Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 106: 104581

Chemical investigation of the Antarctic lichen Usnea aurantiaco-atra led to the isolation and identification of eight compounds, including a dibenzofuran derivative (1), three phenolics (2, 7, 8), a p-terphenyl (3), and three sterols (4-6). The structures of the isolated compounds (1-8) were elucidated by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic ana-lyses and comparisons with previously reported data. All compounds (1-8) were isolated from this species for the first time. The current study is also the first … Read more...
