Lu Y., Yin B., Li Y., Zang Y., Zhou X. & Zhang Y. (2025): Snow and nitrogen manipulation do not alter the dominant role of fungi in the N2O production of biocrusts in a temperate desert, Applied Soil Ecology, 205: 105766 [11 p.]

The impact of global climate change and human-induced nitrogen (N) deposition on winter weather patterns will have consequences for soil N cycling and greenhouse gas emissions in temperate deserts. Biological soil crusts (referred to as biocrusts) are crucial communities in soil and significant sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission in desert ecosystems and are sensitive to environmental changes. The contribution of bacteria and fungi to N2O production in drylands has been acknowledged. However, … Read more...

Cho U., Jeon J., Kim W., Hong S.G., Lee H. & Lee Y.M. (2025): Acidisoma cladoniae sp. nov., an acidotolerant bacterium isolated from an Antarctic lichen. , Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 118: 10 [10 p.]

Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, white-cream-pearly colony, coccobacilli, and non-motile bacterial strain, PAMC 29798T was isolated from an Antarctic lichen. The strain was acidotolerant and psychrotolerant growing at pH 4.0–7.5 (optimally at pH 4.0–6.5) and 0–25 °C (optimally at 10–20 °C). The major fatty acids are Summed Feature 8, C18:1 2OH, and C19:0 cyclo ω8c. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses indicated that strain PAMC 29798T belonged … Read more...

Bajpai R., Singh C.P. & Mondal S. (2025): Assessing distribution patterns and prediction of metals in wildlife sanctuary by employing lichen, expanding machine learning techniques, International Journal of Environmental Research, 19: 23 [14 p.]

The national parks and wildlife sanctuaries are the protected areas for the conservation of wildlife and act as policy tools to sustain biodiversity protection and sustainable application of resources. In the present study the dissemination, qualitative and quantitative valuation of metals at 80 sampling sites of Govind Wildlife Sanctuary (GWLS) were evaluated for the first time by employing lichen Heterodermia diademata. The mean concentration of As, Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn varied … Read more...

Raffai A., Gotsch S.G., Moore A.F.P., Buck C.S. & Van Stan J.T. (2025): Evaporation and condensation dynamics within saturated epiphyte communities in a Quercus virginiana forest (coastal Georgia, USA), Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 361: 110329 [14 p.]

Rainfall-forest interactions significantly impacts hydrological, ecological, and societal systems by altering rainwater supply to the surface. Canopy surfaces’ retention, evaporation, and redistribution of rain affect all storm-related hydrological processes. Arboreal epiphytes, plants that live on forest canopies, can store and evaporate substantial amounts of water, but their role in rainfall partitioning is under-researched compared to bark and leaves. Maritime forests of the southeastern U.S. … Read more...

Breast cancer remains a significant public health problem worldwide and requires the investigation of new treatment methods. Lichens, symbiotic organisms rich in bioactive compounds, have emerged as promising sources of natural anticancer agents. This study investigates the anticancer effects of lichen metabolites derived from Xanthoparmelia taractica on breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB231. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure specific lichen acids in the extract; … Read more...

Vondrák J., Košnar J., Svoboda S., Palice Z., Šoun J., Kubásek J., Říha P., Malíček J., Rydlo J. & Hofmeister J. (2025): Ghost species form an important component of the epiphytic lichens in temperate forests , Forest Ecosystems, 12: 100254 [9 p.]

Sequencing of environmental samples has great potential for biodiversity research, but its application is limited by the lack of reliable DNA barcode databases for species identifications. Such a database has been created for epiphytic lichens of Europe, allowing us to compare the results of environmental sequencing with standard taxonomic surveys. The species undetected by taxonomic surveys (what we term the ghost component) amount to about half of the species actually present in hectare plots of … Read more...

Ramalin, a strong antioxidant isolated from Antarctic lichens, has been shown to have potential therapeutic effects in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. However, this compound is readily degraded in aqueous solutions, which restricts its development as a therapeutic agent. With a view toward addressing this problem, in this study, we modified the structure of ramalin to obtain more stable compounds and attempted to identify a derivative with the strongest neuroprotective properties. We synthesized … Read more...

Thakur M., Andola H.C. & Sanches Silva A. (2025): Unveiling techniques and exploring the potential of Myconutraceticals: Analyzing current applications and future prospects, Food Chemistry, 466: 142162 [20 p.]

The escalating demand for natural, nutritionally rich food products underscores the significance of exploring the fungal kingdom, comprising yeast, lichens, molds, and mushrooms, as an abundant reservoir of nutritionalcompounds, secondary metabolites and bioactive components. This paper delves into the nutritional profiles of lichen, yeast, and mushrooms, emphasizing their role as prominent sources of myco-nutraceuticals and functional foods. The growing popularity of eco-friendly extraction techniques … Read more...

Gao L., Paré D., Braghiroli F.L., Lamarche M. & Bergeron Y. (2025): Relationships between charcoal property and post fire productivity in the boreal forest, Forest Ecosystems, 12: 100277 [8 p.]

Fire disturbances are increasing under global climate change and ecological transformations of forests are occurring. Specifically, shifts from productive closed-canopy feather moss forests to low-productivity open-canopy lichen (Cladonia spp.) woodlands have been observed in boreal forests of eastern Canada. It has been hypothesized that high severity of fires would be the cause of this change, but this is difficult to validate a posteriori on mature forest stands. Because charcoal properties are … Read more...
