Schulz M., Schmitt I., Weber D. & Dal Grande F. (2022): Fungal host affects photosynthesis in a lichen holobiont - Journal of Fungi, 8(12): 1267 [10 p.]

Corals and lichens are iconic examples of photosynthetic holobionts, i.e., ecological and evolutionary units resulting from the tightly integrated association of algae and prokaryotic microbiota with animal or fungal hosts, respectively. While the role of the coral host in modulating photosynthesis has been clarified to a large extent in coral holobionts, the role of the fungal host in this regard is far less understood. Here, we address this question by taking advantage of the recent discovery of … Read more...

Wang J., Zhao H., Guo Q. & Ding H. (2022): Identification and antibacterial activity of Thamnolia vermicularis and Thamnolia subuliformis - Journal of Microbiological Methods, 203: 106628 [8 p.]

Thamnolia vermicularis (Tv) and Thamnolia subuliformis (Ts) are two species from the same habitat with such similar external morphological characteristics that researchers often confuse the two in their scientific work and do not distinguish between them. This study applies three different methods to distinguish them. The diversity of endophytic fungi was also compared and their antibacterial activity in vitro was evaluated. The results show that all three methods can distinguish Tv and Ts, and can … Read more...

Gupta A., Sahu N., Singh A.P., Singh V.K., Singh S.C., Upadhye V.J., Mathew A.T., Kumar R. & Sinha R.P. (2022): Exploration of novel lichen compounds as inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro: Ligand-based design, molecular dynamics, and ADMET analyses - Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 194: 6386–6406

In the year 2019–2020, the whole world witnessed the spread of a disease called COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. A number of effective drugs and vaccine has been formulated to combat this outbreak. For the development of anti-COVID-19 drugs, the main protease (Mpro) is considered a key target as it has rare mutations and plays a crucial role in the replication of the SARS CoV-2. In this study, a library of selected lichen compounds was prepared and used for virtual screening against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro … Read more...

de Lange P.J., Marshall A.J., Schmid L.M.H., & Graham S. (2022): The biota and geology of Ngārango Otainui: A mixed indigenous / naturalised vegetation association of the Māngere Inlet, Manukau Harbour - Perspectives in Biosecurity, 7: 5–33

An account of the geology, vegetation associations, mycobiota, flora and avifauna of Ngārango Otainui, a 0.309 ha island located at the eastern end of the Māngere Inlet, Manukau Harbour, Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland is provided. This appears to be the first comprehensive account of the island’s geology, vegetation and biota. The island has been mapped by others as Puketoka Formation; our survey confirmed this, noting that the basal exposed portion of the island appears to be a distal, … Read more...

Prasad M., Schmid L.M.H., Marshall A.J., Blanchon D.J., Renner M.A.M., Baba Y., Padamsee M., & de Lange P.J. (2022): Ecological communities of Aotearoa / New Zealand species threatened by myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii (G. Winter) Beenken): The flora and mycobiota of the endemic genus Lophomyrtus Burret - Perspectives in Biosecurity, 7: 34–70

The invasive rust Austropuccinia psidii, responsible for myrtle rust disease, poses a serious threat to the New Zealand Myrtaceae. Since the 2017 detection of Austropuccinia psidii in Aotearoa / New Z ealand, the rust has spread rapidly, resulting in the decline and death of a range of indigenous Myrtaceae, most notably the two species of the endemic genus Lophomyrtus, ramarama (L. bullata) and rōhutu (L. obcordata). While the threat Austropuccinia psidii poses to Lophomyrtus is now widely … Read more...

Nascimbene J., Gheza G., Bilovitz P.O., Francesconi L., Hafellner J., Mayrhofer H., Salvadori M., Vallese C. & Nimis P.L. (2022): A hotspot of lichen diversity and lichenological research in the Alps: the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park (Italy) - MycoKeys, 94: 37–50

A checklist of 916 lichenised taxa is reported from the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park and its surroundings (Trentino-Alto Adige, N Italy), based on 7351 records from: (a) 72 literature sources, (b) eight public and private herbaria and (c) field observations by some of the authors. The study area appears as a hotspot of lichen diversity, hosting 30.1% of the lichen biota of the Alps in a territory that has 0.064% of their total surface area. This is mainly due to its high climatical, … Read more...

Cozzolino A., Adamo P., Bonanomi G. & Motti R. (2022): The role of lichens, mosses, and vascular plants in the biodeterioration of historic buildings: A review - Plants, 11(24): 3429 [19 p.]

Biodeterioration is defined as the alteration of a given substrate due to a combination of physical and chemical factors produced by living organisms when attached to such materials. This phenomenon attracts scientific research attention due to its risk in causing destruction to outdoor cultural rock heritage sites. In this review, an update on the state-of-art regarding the biodeterioration phenomenon is represented in order to highlight the type of colonizing vegetation and possible mechanisms … Read more...

Rassabina A., Khabibrakhmanova V., Babaev V., Daminova A. & Minibayeva F. (2022): Melanins from the Lichens Lobaria pulmonaria and Lobaria retigera as eco-friendly adsorbents of synthetic dyes - International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 23(24): 15605 [14 p.]

Synthetic dyes are widely used in the industry; they are chemically stable, difficult to neutralize, and therefore they are a threat to the environment when released into wastewaters. The dyes have a significant impact on plant performance by impairing photosynthesis, inhibiting growth, and entering the food chain and may finally result in the toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of food products. Implementation of the dark piment melanin for the adsorption of the synthetic dyes is a new ecologically … Read more...

Bianchi E., Benesperi R., Giordani P., Martire L., Favero-Longo S.E. & Loppi S. (2022): Wood distillate as an alternative bio-based product against lichens on sandstone - International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 170: 105386 [10 p.]

Highlights: • 10% wood distillate devitalizes lichens as effectively as traditional biocides • The effect is verified on 4 species commonly growing on Pietra Serena sandstone • The application negligibly interferes with the sandstone colour and hardness • Wood distillate may be an alternative to control biodeterioration on sandstone • Some dissolution of calcite excludes the application on delicate heritage surfaces. The use of traditional biocides to halt or reduce … Read more...
