(2023): Effect of brown algae and lichen extracts on the SCOBY microbiome and kombucha properties - Foods, 12(1): 47 [15 p.]

Kombucha tea was made by the fermentation of SCOBY culture of green tea broth with the addition of Fucus vesiculosus algae extract, Cetraria islandica lichen extract and their mixture. Kombucha was also made without the herbal supplements as a control. After 11 days of fermentation, in addition to the yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis and the bacteria Komagataeibacter rhaeticus and Komagataeibacter hansenii contained in all of the samples, the yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii and bacteria Komagataeibacter … Read more...

Zulfiqar Z., Asghar H.S., Habib K. & Khalid A.N. (2023): Two new species of the genus Oxneriaria (lichenized Ascomycota: Megasporaceae) from Pakistan - Plant Systematics and Evolution, 309: 2 [7 p.]

Two new species of the lichen genus Oxneriaria are discovered in Pakistan, namely Oxneriaria iqbalii and O. kohistaniensis. Oxneriaria iqbalii is characterized by its non-radiating peripheral areoles, indistinct prothallus, 0.3–0.8 mm apothecial disc, bigger ascospores (20–26×10–14 µm) and conidia (15–30×c. 0.5 µm), whereas Oxneriaria kohistaniensis can be characterized by peripherally non-elongated areoles, indistinct prothallus, simple paraphyses, smaller ascospores (15–20×9–12 … Read more...

Torres-Benítez A., Ortega-Valencia J.E., Sánchez M., Hillmann-Eggers M., Gómez-Serranillos M.P., Vargas-Arana G. & Simirgiotis M.J.J. (2023): UHPLC-MS chemical fingerprinting and antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, anti-inflammatory in silico and cytoprotective activities of Cladonia chlorophaea and C. gracilis (Cladoniaceae) from Antarctica - Antioxidants, 12(1): 10 [22 p.]

The lichen species Cladonia chlorophaea and C. gracilis (Cladoniaceae) are widely distributed in the island archipelago of maritime Antarctica and represent a natural resource of scientific interest. In this work, the metabolomic characterization of the ethanolic extracts of these species and the determination of the antioxidant activity, enzymatic inhibition and anti-inflammatory potential of selected compounds on the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme by molecular docking and cytoprotective activity in the … Read more...

Rosentreter R. & DeBolt A. (2023): Lichens as an indicator of sea-level rise - Evansia, 39(4)[2022]: 162–168

Coastal areas around the globe are threatened with sea-level rise (SLR). Many of these areas support coastal forests, and determining the threat is complicated by wind patterns and sea floor and shoreline variability, beyond simple elevational concerns. Lichens can be used as indicators of SLR at site specific locations. Developing vegetative indicators of SLR could assist land managers, municipalities, and homeowners in evaluating the risk of building homes, roads, and other structures in some … Read more...

Maraun M., Thomas T., Fast E., Treibert N., Caruso T., Schaefer I., Lu J.-Z. & Scheu S. (2023): New perspectives on soil animal trophic ecology through the lens of C and N stable isotope ratios of oribatid mites - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 177: 108890 [11 p.]

Knowledge of the trophic ecology of soil animals is important for understanding their high alpha diversity as well as their functional role in soil food webs and systems. In the last 20 years, the analysis of natural variations in stable isotope ratios (15N/14N, 13C/12C) has revolutionized our view on soil animal trophic ecology. Here, we review the state of the art of the trophic ecology of a highly abundant and diverse soil animal taxon, oribatid mites (Oribatida), investigated by stable isotope … Read more...

González Argüello G., Filippini E. & Machado A.S. (2023): Morpho‑anatomical variations of Parmotrema pilosum (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) in fragmented forests of central Argentina: relationship between forest cover and distance to crops - Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 30: 1795–1805

Forest vegetation is key for bufering microclimatic factors and regulating atmospheric deposition. Epiphytic lichens are sensitive to these factors and can indicate the overall health status of the ecosystem. Specifcally, the analysis of morphoanatomical variations allows us to understand the degree of tolerance or sensitivity of these organisms exposed to agricultural crops and how vegetation might bufer this response. We analyzed variations in vegetative and reproductive characters and injuries … Read more...

Esseen P.-A. & Ekström M. (2023): Influence of canopy structure and light on the three-dimensional distribution of the iconic lichen Usnea longissima - Forest Ecology and Management, 529: 120667 [13 p.]

Forest canopies modify microclimates and create habitats for nonvascular epiphytes, but we need to better understand the mechanisms regulating their vertical and horizontal distributions. Here we examine how canopy structure and light environment influence the 3D distribution of Usnea longissima, the world’s longest lichen, and associated with old-growth forests. We quantified forest structure, vertical profile of light (PPFD transmittance fraction), and horizontal as well as vertical distribution … Read more...

Greaver T., McDow S., Phelan J., Kaylor S.D., Herrick J.D. & Jovan S. (2023): Synthesis of lichen response to gaseous nitrogen: Ammonia versus nitrogen dioxide - Atmospheric Environment, 292: 119396 [13 p.]

The dominant chemical form of nitrogen pollution in the atmosphere in the U.S. is shifting from oxidized nitrogen, primarily from combustion of fossil fuels, to reduced nitrogen from agricultural animal waste and fertilizer applications. Does it matter to lichens? In this synthesis, we characterize U.S. air concentrations of the most ubiquitous gaseous forms of reduced and oxidized nitrogen, NO2 and NH3, respectively, and their direct effects on lichens. In the U.S., the 3-year average (2017–2019) … Read more...

Vondrák J., Svoboda S., Košnar J., Malíček J., Šoun J., Frolov I., Svensson M., Novotný P. & Palice Z. (2023): Martin7: a reference database of DNA barcodes for European epiphytic lichens and its taxonomic implications - Preslia, 95: 311–345

Molecular identification of organisms is now a common practice and, increasingly, species are identified from environmental samples. However, for most organisms, we still lack comprehensive reference databases of DNA barcodes to identify the sequences produced. We present a near-complete database of ITS and mtSSU barcodes, named Martin7, for accurate molecular identification of epiphytic lichens (mycobionts) of central Europe. New data were obtained by Sanger and PacBio sequencing. We obtained 907 … Read more...
