Czeczuga B., Czeczuga-Semeniuk E. & Semeniuk A. (2006): Phycobiliprotein pigments in Pseudocyphellaria species and their role in complementary chromatic adaptation, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 100: 625-633

The phycobiliprotein pigment content of eight species of Southern Hemisphere Pseudo- cyphellaria with cyanobacteria (Nostoc sp.) as photobionts was studied by means of ion-exchange chromatography. C-phycoerythrin, the dominant pigment, C-phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and allo- phycocyanin B were identified and the total phycobiliprotein content ranged from 0.732 (Pseudocyphellaria bartlettii) to 1.847 mg g~1dry mass (P. dissimilis). The amino acids of proteins of C-phy coerythrin, C-phycocyanin and … Read more...

Bačkor M., Swanson A. K. & Fahselt D. (2006): Chlorophyll a fluorescence and photosynthetic pigment composition of three Umbilicaria lichens species in relation to cliff light microenvironment, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 99: 297-305

This work detected differing PS II photochemical efficiency within algal symbionts of the lithic lichens Umbilicaria americana, U. mammulata and U. muehlenbergii in relation to higher irradiances present among unmanipulated cliff microenvironments. Potential quantum yield of photo system II. measured as FV/FM, decreased significantly with increased light intensities from shaded to full sun umbilicate populations. Observed lower recoveries within high - light microclimate samples, as compared to shaded … Read more...

Huneck S. & Tibell L. (2005): Occurrence and chemistry of isousnic acid from the lichen Bunodophoron ramuliferum, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 98: 299-307

Bunodophoron ramuliferum (I.M.Lamb) Wedin is chemically analysed. The occurrence of isousnic acid is confirmed and the CD- and ORD-spectra of (+ )-isousnic, (+ )-usnic, (+ )-placodi- olic and ( + )-pseudoplacodiolic acids are shown. Copper complexes o f ( + )-isousnic and ( + )-usnic acids are described. lichen; Bunodophoron ramuliferum, Sphaerophoracae, Caliciales, ( + )-isousnic acid, CD and ORD spectra of (+ )-isousnic, (+)-usnic, (+)-placodiolic and (+ )-pseudoplacodiolic acids Read more...

Column, thin-layer and high-performance liquid chromatography revealed the presence of the following carotenoids in the thalli of 12 species (27 specimens) of Peltigera from various eco logical niches: a-, /3-carotene, /3-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, diatoxanthin, antheraxanthin, echinenone, 3'-, 4'-hydroxyechinenone, canthaxanthin, /3-doradexanthin, neoxanthin, rubixanthin, as- taxanthin, violaxanthin and capsochrome. All species with cyanobacteria as their photobiont, irre spective of the … Read more...

Czeczuga B., Czeczuga-Semeniuk E. & Hammer S. (2004): Carotenoids in the thalli of Cladonia grayi Merrill from sites of varied degrees of insolation, Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory, 95: 285-291

A study of carotenoids in 19 specimens of Cladonia grayi from North America revealed the presence of /J-carotene, a-carotene, /J-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, lutein, antheraxanthin, hydrox- yechinenone, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, violaxanthin, mutatoxanthin, neoxanthin and capsochrome. The total carotenoid content and percentage content of lutein, zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin and violax anthin in investigated materials were dependent on the degree of insolation.

The effect of the phycobiont Trebouxia arboricola on changes in pigmentation of Xan- thoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. were investigated in respect of the size the phycobiont and photosynthe- sising pigments in various seasons of the year in insolated and shady places. Observations on the in fluence of the substratum on carotenoid composition in the phycobiont in natural conditions were supplemented with the results obtained in the laboratory. Xanthoria parietina, phycobiont, Trebouxia arboricola, chlorophylls, … Read more...
