Popovici V., Bucur L., Calcan S.I., Cucolea E.I., Costach T., Rambu D., Schröder V., Gîrd C.E., Gherghel D., Vochita G., Caraiane A. & Badea V. (2022): Elemental analysis and in vitro evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal activities of Usnea barbata (L.) Weber ex F.H. Wigg from Călimani Mountains, Romania - Plants, 11: 32 [21 p.]

This study aims to complete our research on Usnea barbata (L.) Weber ex F.H. Wigg (U. barbata) from the Calimani Mountains, Romania, with an elemental analysis and to explore its antibacterial and antifungal potential. Thus, we analyzed twenty-three metals (Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn, Al, Ag, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Li, Ni, Tl, V, Mo, Pd, Pt, Sb, As, Pb, Cd, and Hg) in dried U. barbata lichen (dUB) by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For the second study, we performed dried lichen extraction … URL EndNote Read more...

Shanmugam K., Srinivasan M. & Neelakantan H.G. (2022): Insights into in vitro phenotypic plasticity, growth and secondary metabolites of the mycobiont isolated from the lichen Platygramme caesiopruinosa - Archives of Microbiology, 204: 90 [16 p.]

The choice of inoculum for successful isolation and establishment of axenic lichen mycobiont culture is a key step towards eliminating endolichenic and lichenicolous fungi and other microbial contamination. The nutritional requirements of each lichen species are unique. This work reports on the isolation, phenotypic plasticity, growth and secondary metabolites from mycobiont culture of the pantropical lichen Platygramme caesiopruinosa.

Vijayakumar V.R., Saravanan K., Somasundaram M., Jayaraj R., Annamalai P., Nooruddin T. & Dharumadurai D. (2022): Metagenomic analysis of lichen‑associated bacterial community profiling in Roccella montagnei - Archives of Microbiology, 204: 54 [10 p.]

A lichen is a composite organism formed of algae or cyanobacteria that live in a mutually advantageous symbiotic relationship with the filaments (hyphae) of fungus. Three lichen samples were obtained from diverse sites at a terrestrial habitat located in Coimbatore and coastal habitats located in Kanyakumari and Nagapattinam districts of Tamil Nadu. Amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA V3–V4 regions were used for metagenomic study. Aside from the Next-Generation Sequencing data (NGS), distinct … URL EndNote Read more...

Anderson J., Lévesque N., Caron F., Beckett P. & Spiers G.A. (2022): A review on the use of lichens as a biomonitoring tool for environmental radioactivity - Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 243: 106797 [23 p.]

Lichens have been widely used as a biomonitoring tool to record the distribution and concentration of airborne radioactivity and pollutants such as metals. There are limitations, however: although pollutants can be preserved in lichen tissues for long periods of time, not all radioactive and inert elements behave similarly. The chemical species of elements at the source, once captured, and the mode of storage within lichens play a role in this biomonitoring tool. Lichens are a symbiotic association … URL EndNote Read more...

Stovall M.S., Ganguli A.C., Schallner J.W., Faist A.M., Yu Q. & Pietrasiak N. (2022): Can biological soil crusts be prominent landscape components in rangelands? A case study from New Mexico, USA - Geoderma, 410: 115658 [14 p.]

To sustainably manage rangelands, it is paramount that all agents of soil health are considered in conservation practices. Yet, our understanding of the extent and importance of biological soil crust (hereafter biocrust) as a component of rangeland health and quality is limited. The objective of this project was to quantify and characterize rangeland biocrusts within a region of New Mexico, USA, for which soil microbes have yet to be considered in rangeland health assessments: the Rio Puerco … URL EndNote Read more...

Blázquez M., Hernández-Moreno L.S., Gasulla F., Pérez-Vargas I. & Pérez-Ortega S. (2022): The role of photobionts as drivers of diversification in an island radiation of lichen-forming fungi - Frontiers in Microbiology, 12: 784182 [15 p.]

Speciation in oceanic islands has attracted the interest of scientists since the 19th century. One of the most striking evolutionary phenomena that can be studied in islands is adaptive radiation, that is, when a lineage gives rise to different species by means of ecological speciation. Some of the best-known examples of adaptive radiation are charismatic organisms like the Darwin finches of the Galapagos and the cichlid fishes of the great African lakes. In these and many other examples, … URL EndNote Read more...

(2022): Contributions to the biodiversity of Vietnam – Results of VIETBIO inventory work and field training in Cuc Phuong National Park - Biodiversity Data Journal, 10: e77025 [28 p.]

VIETBIO [Innovative approaches to biodiversity discovery and characterisation in Vietnam] is a bilateral German-Vietnamese research and capacity building project focusing on the development and transfer of new methods and technology towards an integrated biodiversity discovery and monitoring system for Vietnam. Dedicated field training and testing of innovative methodologies were undertaken in Cuc Phuong National Park as part and with support of the project, which led to the new biodiversity … URL EndNote Read more...

Tarelkina T.V., Galibina N.A., Moshnikov S.A., Nikerova K.M., Moshkina E.V. & Genikova N.V. (2022): Anatomical and morphological features of Scots pine heartwood formation in two forest types in the middle taiga subzone - Forests, 13: 91 [17 p.]

Currently, there is no consensus on how growing conditions affect the heartwood formation in Scots pine. Comparing the results obtained by different authors is difficult due to methodology differences and poor descriptions of the objects used. We selected two sample plots in (1) a blueberry pine forest on nutrient-rich and moist soil and (2) a lichen pine forest on nutrient-poor and dry soil and performed their detailed characterization. The sample plots were located 22 km apart in the middle … URL EndNote Read more...

Şenol Z.M.,Gül Ü.D. & Şimşek S. (2022): Bioremoval of Safranin O dye by the identified lichen species called Evernia prunastri biomass; biosorption optimization, isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics - Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, 12: 4127–4137

Evernia prunastri (lichen), a novel, eco-friendly, cost-effective, wide availability, safe, renewable and easy collection biosorbent, has been utilized for the removal of Safranin O (SO) dye from an aqueous solution. The biosorption behavior of SO onto the lichen biomass was investigated concerning parameters such as initial SO concentration (10–2000 mg L−1), solution pH (2.0– 12.0), lichen biomass dosage (1–20 g L−1), contact time (2–1440 min), temperature (5 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C), … URL EndNote Read more...
