Chrismas N.A.M., Allen R., Hollingsworth A.L., Taylor J.D. & Cunliffe M. (2021): Complex photobiont diversity in the marine lichen Lichina pygmaea - Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 101: 667–674

Lichens are a well-known symbiosis between a host mycobiont and eukaryote algal or cyanobacterial photobiont partner(s). Recent studies have indicated that terrestrial lichens can also contain other cryptic photobionts that increase the lichens’ ecological fitness in response to varying environmental conditions. Marine lichens live in distinct ecosystems compared with their terrestrial counterparts because of regular submersion in seawater and are much less studied. We performed bacteria 16S … Read more...

Ceker S., Orhan F., Sezen S., Gulluce M., Ozkan H., Aslan A. & Agar G. (2018): Anti-mutagenic and anti-oxidant potencies of Cetraria aculeata (Schreb.) Fr., Cladonia chlorophaea (Flörke ex Sommerf.) Spreng. and Cetrelia olivetorum (Nyl.) W.L. Culb. & C.F. Culb.) - Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 17(1): 326–335

In this study, the mutagenic and anti-mutagenic effects of methanol extract of three lichen species (Cetraria aculeata, Cladonia chlorophaea and Cetrelia olivetorum) were investigated by using E. coli-WP2, Ames-Salmonella (TA1535 and TA1537) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test systems. The results obtained from bacterial test systems demonstrated that methanol extracts of three lichen species have strong anti-mutagenic potencies on TA1535, TA1537 strains and to a lesser extent on E. coli-WP2 … Read more...

Fernández-Costas D. & García-Molares A. (2023): Some interesting lichens for the Iberian Peninsula - Botanica Complutensis, 47: e85069 [8 p.]

The presence of 25 species was reported during a survey carried out in the municipality of O Rosal (Pontevedra, NW Spain). Among them, Arthonia anglica and A. ligniaria are new records for the Iberian Peninsula, while Rinodina colobinoides and Usnea erinacea are new records for Spain. In addition, Agonimia opuntiella, Cliostomum griffithii, Coppinsiella ulcerosa, Lecanora barkmaniana, Micarea synotheoides, Physcia vitii, Reichlingia zwackhii, Rinodina biloculata, R. excrecens, R. conradii and R. … Read more...

Perlmutter G.B., Miranda-Gonzáles R. & Bungartz F. (2023): Placement of Arthonia rubrocincta in Coniocarpon (lichenized Ascomycota: Arthoniaceae), with an extended range for the species in southeastern North America and the Caribbean - Phytotaxa, 589(3): 278–282

Arthonia rubrocincta morphologically and anatomically fits the generic concept of Coniocarpon and is here transferred to the latter genus as Coniocarpon rubrocinctum. Specimens from southeastern United States and Bahamas were studied and the range of the species is found to extend north into North Carolina, USA and southeast to the Bahamas. Thatch palm (Coccothrinax argentata) is reported as a new phorophyte. An emended description based on examined material is presented for the species. Keywords: … Read more...

Syed Salleh S.N.A. & Abas A. (2023): Monitoring heavy metal concentrations using transplanted lichen in a tourism city of Malaysia - Sustainability, 15(7): 5885 [12 p.]

Heavy metals are major pollutants in tourist cities due to transportation and urbanization. This study aimed to assess heavy metal concentrations using transplanted lichen in tourist cities. The project was conducted in Malacca, Malaysia, using transplanted Usnea misaminensis lichen at ten sampling stations. After one month, these lichen samples were collected and heavy metal analysis was carried out in a lab using ICP-MS. Other factors, such as the number of vehicles, temperature, relative humidity, … Read more...

Si H., Wang Y., Liu Y., Li S., Bose T. & Chang R. (2023): Fungal diversity associated with thirty-eight lichen species revealed a new genus of endolichenic fungi, Intumescentia gen. nov. (Teratosphaeriaceae) - Journal of Fungi, 9(4): 423 [18 p.]

Fungi from the Teratosphaeriaceae (Mycosphaerellales; Dothideomycetes; Ascomycota) have a wide range of lifestyles. Among these are a few species that are endolichenic fungi. However, the known diversity of endolichenic fungi from Teratosphaeriaceae is far less understood compared to other lineages of Ascomycota. We conducted five surveys from 2020 to 2021 in Yunnan Province of China, to explore the biodiversity of endolichenic fungi. During these surveys, we collected multiple samples of 38 lichen … Read more...

dos Santos L.A., Aptroot A., Lücking R. & Cáceres M.E.S. (2023): Lecanora s.lat. (Ascomycota, Lecanoraceae) in Brazil: DNA barcoding coupled with phenotype characters reveals numerous novel species - Journal of Fungi, 9(4): 415 [28 p.]

We sequenced over 200 recent specimens of Lecanora s.lat. from Brazil, delimiting 28 species in our material. Many seem to represent undescribed species, some of which being morphologically and chemically similar to each other or to already described species. Here, we present a phylogenetic analysis based on ITS, including our specimens and GenBank data. We describe nine new species. The purpose of the paper is to illustrate the diversity of the genus in Brazil, not to focus on segregate genera. … Read more...

Veas-Mattheos K., Almendras K., Pezoa M., Muster C. & Orlando J. (2023): High Andean steppes of southern Chile contain little-explored Peltigera lichen symbionts - Journal of Fungi, 9(3): 372 [18 p.]

Peltigera lichens can colonize extreme habitats, such as high-elevation ecosystems, but their biodiversity is still largely unknown in these environments, especially in the southern hemi- sphere. We assessed the genetic diversity of mycobionts and cyanobionts of 60 Peltigera lichens collected in three high Andean steppes of southern Chile using LSU, β-tubulin, COR3 and ITS loci for mycobionts, and SSU and rbcLX loci for cyanobionts. We obtained 240 sequences for the different mycobiont markers and … Read more...

[in Catalan, with an illustrative photodocumentation] La recopilació de les dades disponibles sobre la biota liquènica de la comarca de l’Horta Sud ha permés l’elaboració d’un catàleg preliminar amb 66 fongs liquenitzats. Tot i tractar-se d’un territori fortament antropitzat, amb grans extensions ocupades per àrees urbanes i industrials i per infraestructures viàries o dedicades a l’agricultura, alberga algunes espècies poc citades a la Comunitat Valenciana, com ara Enchylium … Read more...
