Ecological Specialization of Two Photobiont-Specific Maritime Cyanolichen Species of the Genus Lichina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 All fungi in the class Lichinomycetes are lichen-forming and exclusively associate with cyanobacteria. Two closely related maritime species of the genus Lichina (L. confinis and L.

Cyanolichen Distribution in Young Unmanaged Forests: A Dripzone Effect?
Bryologist, 2000 Abstract In young forests of humid south-central British Columbia, Lobaria pulmonaria and other epiphytic “cyanolichens” attain optimum development over the lower branches of conifers growing within the dripzone of Populus. To account for this, we propose the existence of a “dripzone effect”, in which nutrient-rich leachates from the upper branches of ...

An integrative study of Pannaria hookeri (Ascomycota lichenized) from Argentina and the update of the taxon circumscription based on specimens from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022 Pannaria hookeri (Borrer ex Sm.) Nyl. is reported as a bipolar cyanolichen that occurs in more than twenty countries in both Hemispheres. In the Northern Hemisphere, a minor variation is attributed to the species, whereas larger morphological and ...

Microcystin Production in the Tripartite Cyanolichen Peltigera leucophlebia [PDF]
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 cyanolichen Peltigera leucophlebia and from a symbiotic Nostoc strain isolated from the same lichen specimen.

Is vanadium a biometal for boreal cyanolichens? [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2014 Summary Molybdenum (Mo) nitrogenase has long been considered the predominant isoenzyme responsible for dinitrogen fixation worldwide. Recent findings have challenged the paradigm of Mo hegemony, and highlighted the role of alternative nitrogenases, such as the vanadium‐nitrogenase.
