Bacterial communities associated with an island radiation of lichen-forming fungi [PDF]
PLoS ONEEvolutionary radiations are one of the most striking processes biologists have studied in islands. A radiation is often sparked by the appearance of ecological opportunity, which can originate in processes like trophic niche segregation or the evolution ...

Identification and expression of functionally conserved circadian clock genes in lichen-forming fungi [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Lichen-forming fungi establish stable symbioses with green algae or cyanobacteria. Many species have broad distributions, both in geographic and ecological space, making them ideal subjects to study organism-environment interactions.

A comparative genomic analysis of lichen-forming fungi reveals new insights into fungal lifestyles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Lichen-forming fungi are mutualistic symbionts of green algae or cyanobacteria. We report the comparative analysis of six genomes of lichen-forming fungi in classes Eurotiomycetes and Lecanoromycetes to identify genomic information related to their ...

A Custom Regional DNA Barcode Reference Library for Lichen-Forming Fungi of the Intermountain West, USA, Increases Successful Specimen Identification [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 DNA barcoding approaches provide powerful tools for characterizing fungal diversity. However, DNA barcoding is limited by poor representation of species-level diversity in fungal sequence databases.

Funga Capixaba: Ascomycota and lichen-forming fungi [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2023 The “Funga Capixaba” have been overlooked for a very long time, leading to a gap in the local mycological knowledge. In order to create a preliminary and updated list of Ascomycetes and lichen-forming fungi from Espírito Santo state, Brazil we reviewed ...

A Candidate Gene Cluster for the Bioactive Natural Product Gyrophoric Acid in Lichen-Forming Fungi [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Natural products of lichen-forming fungi are structurally diverse and have a variety of medicinal properties. Despite this, they have limited implementation in industry mostly because the corresponding genes are unknown for most of their natural products.

Plant hormones promote growth in lichen-forming fungi. [PDF]
Mycobiology, 2010 The effect of plant hormones on the growth of lichen-forming fungi (LFF) was evaluated. The use of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid and indole-3-butyric acid resulted in a 99% and 57% increase in dry weight of the lichen-forming fungus Nephromopsis ornata. The results suggest that some plant hormones can be used as inducers or stimulators of LFF growth for ...

High-Throughput Sequencing Supports Strong Geographical Patterns in the Cladia aggregata Complex (Ascomycota, Lecanorales) and Identifies the Asian Clade as an Independent Species [PDF]
Journal of FungiThe Cladia aggregata group of lichen-forming fungi comprises multiple species that are difficult to differentiate based on phenotypic characters. It has a wide distribution across several continents, but is most diverse in Australasia.
