Tibell L. & Thor G. (2003): Calicioid lichens and fungi of Japan, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 94: 205-259

A survey of the calicioid lichens and fungi of Japan based on collections made by G. Thor during 1994 to 1999, and additional herbarium material is given. Bunodophoron and Sphaerophorus are not revised, but included by summarizing literature reports. 50 species are accept ed as recorded from Japan, most of them restricted to old-growth, humid, boreal to temperate conifer ous forests. The genus Sclerophora is reported from Japan for the first time. One species, Calicinin muriformis, is described as … EN Read more...

Millanes A.M. & Vicente C. (2003): Photoprotective strategies in lichens: an experimental approach using Evernia prunastri, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 94: 293-302

When Evernia prunastri thalli are exposed to strong light (>300 /imol photons n T 2 s-1), algal cells move from the algal layer to the medulla. This displacement is mainly observed in the apical (youngest) zone of the thallus. High irradiance concomitantly produces a substantial loss of chlorophyll a and an increase in the amount of chlorophyll b. As an additional defence mechanism against strong light, a protective screen absorbing high energy photons is formed due to deposition of fungal phenolics, … EN Read more...

Follmann G. & Werner B.C. (2003): Lichenicolous fungi occurring on Roccellaceae (Arthoniales). I. New species from South America, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 94: 261-292

Seven lichenicolous ascomycetes are described as new species living on South Ameri can Roccellaceae s. str. Three of these form part of the Arthoniaceae (1. Arthonia darbishirei Follm. & Wern. sp. nov. on Roccella nigerrima [Darb.] Follm., 2. A. ingaderiae Follm. sp. nov. on Ingaderia gracillima [Kremp.] Feige & Lumbsch and A. pulcherrima Darb., 3. A. prominens Follm. sp. nov. on I. gracillima [Kremp.] Feige & Lumbsch), four appertain to the Opegraphaceae (4. Lecanographa imi tans Wern. & Follm. … EN Read more...

Czeczuga B. & Czeczuga-Semeniuk E. (2003): Effect of light quality on the size of phyco- and photobiont cells of some lichen species from the Knyszynska forest (N-E Poland), Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 93: 189-200

The effect of white, red, yellow, green and blue light on the size of phyco- and photo- biont cells of 9 lichen species from Knyszynska Forest were investigated in laboratory conditions. Measurement of the phyco- and photobionts under the microscope shows three size groups of cells: young cells, fully grown vegetative cells and autosporangia. The light producing with highest per centage of young cells was considered to be the most favourable light for phyco- and photobiont cell propagation: white … EN Read more...

Aptroot A (2003): Pyrenocarpous lichens and related non-lichenized ascomycetes from Taiwan, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 93: 155-173

101 species of pyrenocarpous lichens and related ascomycetes from Taiwan are report ed. All but five are new to Taiwan. The following species are new to science: Epigloea sparrii, Navi cella diabola and Pyrenula laii. Several represent considerable range extensions: Lithoihelium submu- riforme, Placidiopsis hypothallina, Polymeridium campylothelioides, Porina papuensis, P. ulceratula, Staurothele pallidopora, Strigula muriformis, Verrucaria aucklandica and V. phaeoderma are all new to the Northern … EN Read more...

Calatayud V. & Barreno E. (1995): Lichenicolous fungi from the Iberian peninsula and the Canary Islands II, Flechten Follmann. Contributions Lich., 397-402

Abrothallus parmotrematis and A. welwitschii are reported from the Canary Islands for the first time, and so are Didymetlopsispulposi, Lichenosticta microsticticum, Pronectria leptaleae, and Zwackhiomyces physciicola for the Iberian Peninsula. New host lichens are also dealt with, and taxonomical as well as chorological notes are appended. EN Read more...

Ohmura Y. (2002): Phylogenetic evaluation of infrageneric groups of the genus Usnea based on ITS regions in rDNA, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 92: 231-243

A phylogenetic tree, inferred from the sequences of ITS regions (including ITS1, 5.8S rDNA and ITS2) of rDNA, has been constructed in order to confirm the infrageneric ranks of the genus Usnea in Japan. Twenty-one species of Usnea mainly collected from Japan were analyzed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method. Samples were selected from various infrageneric groups of the genus. The data supports the segregation of the subgenera Dolichousnea and Eumitria from sub genus Usnea, and the treatment of … EN Read more...

Jørgensen P.M. (2002): Further notes on Asian species of the lichen genus Fuscopannaria, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 92: 225-229

Several of the recently described species in the genus Fuscopannaria have proved to have a wider distribution than anticipated: F. coerulescens (Borneo and India), F. dissecta (Borneo, The Philippines), F. saltuensis (India) and F. siamensis (India, Korea). F. dissecta has for the first time been found with ripe spores which are subglobose, in contrast to the ellipsoid ones of F leucosticta. Leioderma sorediatum is reported as new to India and Thailand EN Read more...

Since 1966, immobilization of lichen cells or enzymes in inert, hydrophilic matrices by adsorption or entrapment is the usual method to improve the production of lichen metabolites without biomass destruction. Alginate and polyacrylamide are used for cell entrapment, whereas bioskin, clays or polyhydroxyurethane have been largely preferred as matrices for immobilization by adsorp tion. Entrapped or adsorbed cells can be used to induce a particular metabolic transformation, i.e., lecanoric acid into … EN Read more...

Yamamoto Y., Takahagi T., Sato F., Kinoshita Y., Nakashima H. & Yoshimura I. (2001): Screening of halophilic or salt tolerant lichen mycobionts cultured on sodium chloride enriched media, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 90: 307-314

Halophilic or salt tolerant lichen mycobionts were screened for 77 species on an NaCl enriched medium. Only the Niebla homalea mycobiont collected from the North American Pacific seashore showed evident halophilic growth: 145% growth on malt-yeast extract agar-medium supple mented with 0.9 m NaCl and 129% growth at 1.2 m NaCl in comparison with that of the zero NaCl medium. In addition, mycobionts ofArthonia cinnabarina, Chaenotheca brunneola, Caloplaca scop- ularis, Ramalina subbreviuscula and Vermilacinia … EN Read more...
