Sancho L.G., Aramburu A., Pintado A., Casares M., Raggio J. & Sánchez-Pescador D. (2022): Sierra Nevada (Spain), the southernmost European locality for the polar-alpine Umbilicaria aprina and U. virginis - Mediterranean Botany, 43: e77925 [4 p.]

Two strict polar-alpine Umbilicaria species (U. aprina and U. virginis) are reported growing together in Los Peñones de San Francisco. Other localities known on the highest summits of the Alps and Pyrenees are considered. We discussed the meaning of these isolated populations as glacial relicts. Keywords: Lichens, Polar-alpine, Biogeography, Umbilicaria, Sierra Nevada. Read more...

Jafarova M., Contardo T., Aherne J. & Loppi S. (2022): Lichen biomonitoring of airborne microplastics in Milan (N Italy) - Biology, 11(12): 1815 [7 p.]

This study investigated the deposition of airborne microplastics (MPs) in the urban area of Milan across 12 sites and at a background control site (northern Italy) using 3-month transplants of the fruticose lichen species Evernia prunastri (exposed in triplicate). The primary objective was to evaluate the use of lichen transplants for the assessment of MP deposition; as such, the study sites spanned a gradient in vehicular traffic and population density across four concentric land-use zones (i.e., … Read more...

Rokitskaya T.I., Arutyunyan A.M., Khailova L.S., Kataeva A.D., Firsov A.M., Kotova E.A. & Antonenko Y.N. (2022): Usnic acid-mediated exchange of protons for divalent metal cations across lipid membranes: Relevance to mitochondrial uncoupling - International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 23(24): 16203 [7 p.]

Usnic acid (UA), a unique lichen metabolite, is a protonophoric uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, widely known as a weight-loss dietary supplement. In contrast to conventional proton-shuttling mitochondrial uncouplers, UA was found to carry protons across lipid membranes via the induction of an electrogenic proton exchange for calcium or magnesium cations. Here, we evaluated the ability of various divalent metal cations to stimulate a proton transport through both planar and vesicular bilayer … Read more...

Habib K., Zulfiqar R., & Khalid A.N. (2022): Lecaimmeria pakistanica, a new lichen from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan - European Journal of Taxonomy, 834(1): 94–101

A new lichen species Lecaimmeria pakistanica K.Habib, R.Zulfiqar & Khalid sp. nov. is described and illustrated from rocks in the temperate forests of the Himalaya of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. This species is characterized by its yellow-brown to brown thallus having areoles 0.4 to 1.5 mm across, branched and anastomosing paraphyses, a tall hymenium, large ascospores 20–32 × 10–16 μm, and no substance detected by thin layer chromatography. All other species of the genus have ascospore … Read more...

The 16th fascicle (20 numbers) of the exsiccata 'Lichenicolous Biota' is published. The issue contains material of 15 non-lichenized fungal taxa (10 teleomorphs of ascomycetes, 4 anamorphic states of ascomycetes, 1 basidiomycete) and 5 lichenized ascomycetes, including paratype material of Lichenostigma supertegentis Ihlen & R.Sant. (no 375) and Verrucoccum spribillei V.Atienza et al. (no 380). Furthermore, collections of the type species of the following genera are distributed: Dacampia (D. hookeri), … Read more...

Norqulov M. [Norkulov M.] (2022): Ziaddin- zirabuloq togʻlari lixenoflorasida tarqalgan epigey lishayniklarning taksonomik tahlili [Taxonomical analysis of epigean lichens districted in the lichenoflora of the Ziaddin-Zirabulak mountains] - Ilmiy axborotnoma, 2022: 103–107

[in Uzbek with Russian and English abstract: ] The article presents an analysis of epigean lichens common in the lichen flora of the Ziadin-Zirabulak mountains (Uzbekistan). As a result of the research, 6 species of epigean lichens were identified (Thalloidima sedifolia, T. candidum, Psora decipiens, P. globifera, Caloplaca tominii, Psorotichia taurica). Taxonomic analysis, ecological and geographical features of the identified species are given. Keywords: lichens, epigeum, lichen flora … Read more...

Timdal E. (2022): The taxonomic status of Nephroma parile chemotype 2 - Graphis Scripta, 34(7): 134–138

Chemotype 2 of Nephroma parile, occurring in southern South America, is confirmed as a distinct chemotype. However, it is genetically (nrITS and mtSSU) not differentiated from chemotype 1 in the Northern Hemisphere and does not merit status as a separate taxon. Nephroma parile is hence regarded as a monotypic, bipolar species. Read more...

Frisch A., Holien H., Klepsland J.T., Suija A. & Bendiksby M. (2022): New data on lichenicolous fungi in Norway - Graphis Scripta, 34(7): 59–133

We report 31 species of lichenicolous fungi as new to Norway. Of these, 16 are new to Fennoscandia. Based on molecular phylogenetic results and newly discovered pycnidia in Phacographa protoparmeliae, the combination Phacographa lapponica (Ihlen) Frisch & Ihlen is introduced for Epicladonia lapponica Ihlen. A lectotype is selected for Phaeospora geographicola Arnold [= Opegrapha geographicola (Arnold) Hafellner]. New distribution data are given for 53 rare or seldom reported lichenicolous fungi. … Read more...

Şenol Z.M. (2022): Effective biosorption of Allura red dye from aqueous solutions by the dried-lichen (Pseudoevernia furfuracea) biomass - International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 102(16): 4550–4564

Allura red (AR), which is known as the monoazo class of synthetic food colourant(E129) has been widely used in food industries. Due to the potential toxicity of azo dyes and pathogenicity, the removal of AR from industrial wastewaters is very important environmentally. So, this article aims to investigate the biosorption process of AR by lichen (Pseudoevernia furfuracea) from aqueous solutions. Batch biosorption conditions of AR food dye onto lichen biosorbent as initial AR concentration, … Read more...
