Complex Interaction Networks Among Cyanolichens of a Tropical Biodiversity Hotspot [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Interactions within lichen communities include, in addition to close mutualistic associations between the main partners of specific lichen symbioses, also more elusive relationships between members of a wider symbiotic community.

Species delimitation in the cyanolichen genus Rostania [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background In this study, we investigate species limits in the cyanobacterial lichen genus Rostania (Collemataceae, Peltigerales, Lecanoromycetes). Four molecular markers (mtSSU rDNA, β-tubulin, MCM7, RPB2) were sequenced and analysed with two coalescent-

Chemical Composition and In Vitro Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of the Marine Cyanolichen Lichina pygmaea Volatile Compounds [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 Volatile compounds from the marine cyanolichen Lichina pygmaea, collected from the Moroccan Atlantic coast, were extracted by hydrodistillation and their putative chemical composition was investigated by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry ...

Cyanolichen microbiome contains novel viruses that encode genes to promote microbial metabolism. [PDF]
ISME Commun, 2021 Abstract Lichen thalli are formed through the symbiotic association of a filamentous fungus and photosynthetic green alga and/or cyanobacterium. Recent studies have revealed lichens also host highly diverse communities of secondary fungal and bacterial symbionts, yet few studies have examined the viral component within these complex ...

Chlorinated bianthrones from the cyanolichen Nephroma laevigatum
Fìtoterapìâ, 2021 While depsidones, depsides or dibenzofuran-like compounds dominate the chemical composition of lichens, the cyanolichen Nephroma laevigatum affords a diversity of quinoid pigments represented by chlorinated anthraquinones derived from emodin and new bianthrones resulting from the homo- or heterodimerization of monomers.

Assessing Ecological Risks from Atmospheric Deposition of Nitrogen and Sulfur to US Forests Using Epiphytic Macrolichens [PDF]
Diversity, 2019 Critical loads of atmospheric deposition help decision-makers identify levels of air pollution harmful to ecosystem components. But when critical loads are exceeded, how can the accompanying ecological risk be quantified? We use a 90% quantile regression

Microcystin Production in the Tripartite Cyanolichen Peltigera leucophlebia
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009 We show that the cyanobacterial symbionts of a tripartite cyanolichen can produce hepatotoxic microcystins in situ. Microcystins were detected with high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry both from cephalodia of the tripartite ...

Marine cyanolichens from different littoral zones are associated with distinct bacterial communities [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The microbial diversity and function of terrestrial lichens have been well studied, but knowledge about the non-photosynthetic bacteria associated with marine lichens is still scarce.
