Wahab H., Wahab A., Anwar A., Khalid A.N., Mayrhofer H., uddin S., Alwahibi M.S., Elshikh M.S. & Iqbal R. (2025): Rinodina moziana (lichenized ascomycetes physciaceae), a new record from Pakistan, Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 72: 3097–3105

This study reports the first discovery of Rinodina moziana, a previously unrecorded lichen species in Pakistan, identified during a field survey in the Malakand division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Detailed morphological, chemical and internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-based phylogenetic analyses confirmed the species’ identity, marking it as Rinodina moziana (lichenized Ascomycota). This result greatly increases the known distribution of R. moziana and emphasizes the region’s unexplored lichen diversity. … Read more...

Coca L.F., Lumbsch H.T., Mercado-Díaz J.A., Widhelm T.J., Goffinet B., Kirika P. & Lücking R. (2025): Diversity, phylogeny, and historical biogeography of the genus Coccocarpia (lichenized Ascomycota: Peltigerales) in the tropics, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 206: 108312 [15 p.]

Coccocarpia Pers. currently comprises 28 mostly broadly distributed tropical species of fungi associated with cyanobacteria. Three of these taxa, C. erythroxyli, C. palmicola, and C. pellita, are presumably pantropical to subcosmopolitan, with broad morphological variation across their range. This study provides the first global phylogeny of the genus, to test current species concepts and infer distribution patterns, based on samples from Colombia, Puerto Rico, Gabon, Kenya, Thailand, Fiji, and Hawaii. … Read more...

Fang J., Zheng L., Liu G. & Zhu H. (2024): Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes in Cephaleuros and its related genus (Trentepohlia): Insights into adaptive evolution, Genes, 15: 839 [19 p.]

Cephaleuros species are well-known as plant pathogens that cause red rust or algae spot diseases in many economically cultivated plants that grow in shady and humid environments. Despite their prevalence, the adaptive evolution of these pathogens remains poorly understood. We sequenced and characterized three Cephaleuros (Cephaleuros lagerheimii, Cephaleuros diffusus, and Cephaleuros virescens) chloroplast genomes, and compared them with seven previously reported chloroplast genomes. The chloroplast … Read more...

Kantvilas G. & Kukwa M. (2006): A new species of Lepraria (lichenized Ascomycetes) from Tasmania’s wet forests, Muelleria, 23: 3–6

Lepraria toilenae Kantvilas & Kukwa is described from Tasmania. This species is characterised by a green to grey-green, Ieprose, non-lobate thallus containing malonprotocetraric, fumarprotocetraric and roccellic acids. Read more...

Gulmez O., Tan E., Gezgincioğlu E., Polat H., Karatas S. & Baris O. (2025): Optimization of L-asparaginase production from lichen endophyte Cleisthelebolus nipigonensis and potential food applications, Food Biotechnology, 39(1): 51–67

The enzyme L-asparaginase is used in medicine and food to reduce the risk of cancer by both increasing the breakdown of acrylamide and preventing its formation. In the study, Cleistothelebolus nipigonensis was used as a new source of L-asparaginase. L-asparaginase from this fungus was partially purified and its degradation potential was investigated using pure acrylamide. Potatoes were fried using this method to determine the potential use of L-asparaginase in the food industry. Acrylamide … Read more...

Berköz M., Aslan A., Yunusoğlu O., Krośniak M. & Francik R. (2025): Hepatoprotective potentials of Usnea longissima Ach. and Xanthoparmelia somloensis (Gyelnik) Hale extracts in ethanol-induced liver injury, Drug and Chemical Toxicology, 48(1): 136–149

In our study, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of different lichen applications were investigated in rats using an experimental ethanol toxicity model. 48 rats were used in the study and they were divided into 6 groups with 8 rats in each group. These groups were: control, ethanol (2 g/kg), ethanol + Usnea longissima Ach. (200 mg/kg), ethanol + Usnea longissima Ach. (400 mg/kg), ethanol + Xanthoparmelia somloensis (Gyelnik) Hale (100 mg/kg) and ethanol + Xanthoparmelia somloensis … Read more...

Aslan A., Emsen B., Susar A., Keçe Z.M. & Güneş A. (2024): Effects of use of some lichen species as plant nutrient on metabolic properties and growth parameters of corn plant (Zea mays L.), Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 55(22): 3486–3496

Lichens contain a sufficient amount of plant nutrients for plant growth. Studies have shown that the characteristic secondary metabolites they produce contain significant amounts of organic acids, amino acids, and hormones. This study aims to examine the effects of 10 different lichen species Aspicilia calcarea (A. calcarea), Cetraria islandica (C. islandica), Cladonia furcata (C. furcata), Flavoparmelia caperata (F. caperata), Lobaria pulmonaria (L. pulmonaria), Pseudevernia furfuracea (P. furfuracea), … Read more...

Piątek M., Stryjak-Bogacka M. & Czachura P. (2025): Non-lichenized Cytosporella, including C. fuligomixta sp. nov., and related plant-associated and fungicolous genera are close to foliicolous, lichenized fungi (Ascomycota, Graphidales), MycoKeys, 115: 1–18

The genus Cytosporella includes non-lichenized, plant associated fungi producing eustromatic conidiomata, phialidic conidiophores and hyaline, ellipsoid conidia. Of the 69 names assigned to this genus in Index Fungorum, only three species are associated with sequence data. In this study, a new species: Cytosporella fuligomixta is described based on a strain isolated from the sooty mould community on Quercus robur leaves in Poland. The phylogenetic analyses including sequences of two loci (LSU, mtSSU) … Read more...

Cooper W.S. (1923): The recent ecological history of Glacier Bay, Alaska: the present vegetation cycle, Ecology , 4: 223–246

The document does not appear to contain a specific section labeled as an abstract. However, based on the introduction, the study provides an ecological history of Glacier Bay, Alaska, with a focus on interglacial forests and vegetation succession following glacial retreat. The research discusses historical glacier movements, their impact on vegetation, and the processes of plant re-colonization over time. The study is structured into multiple parts, beginning with an overview of glacial events, followed … Read more...

Xue J., Yang Z., Li R. & Zhang L. (2025): Four new species of Cryptothecia (Arthoniaceae, Ascomycota) and Myriostigma (Arthoniaceae, Ascomycota) from China, based on morphology and molecular phylogeny, MycoKeys, 114: 367–383

In this study, morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches were used to investigate the species diversity of Cryptothecia and Myriostigma from southern China. We found four new species of Cryptothecia and Myriostigma (C. disjecta, C. sorediatum, M. melanovillosa and M. visus-blotch). Cryptothecia disjecta is distinguished by verrucose pseudisidia that are loosely scattered on the thallus, the upper parts of which are white or have darker dots. Cryptothecia sorediatum is distinguished by I– … Read more...
