Epilithic lichen biota of Cheremkha Moutain Massif (Uzhansky National Nature Park)
During field trip to the Cheremkha Mt. (Uzhansky National Nature Park, the Eastern Carpathians, Ukraine) in 2013,44 species and one subspecies of lichens and four species of lichenicolous fungi were collected.

Lichen-forming fungi are symbiotic organisms that synthesize unique natural products with potential for new drug leads. Here, we explored the pharmacological activity of six lichen extracts (Evernia prunastri, Pseudevernia furfuracea, Umbilicaria ...

Fungal Diversity in Lichens: From Extremotolerance to Interactions with Algae
Lichen symbioses develop long-living thallus structures even in the harshest environments on Earth. These structures are also habitats for many other microscopic organisms, including other fungi, which vary in their specificity and interaction with the ...

Population genetics of lichen-forming fungi – a review [PDF]
AbstractPopulation genetics investigates the distribution of genetic variation in natural populations and the genetic differentiation among populations. Lichen-forming fungi are exciting subjects for population genetic studies due to their obligate symbiosis with a green-algal and/or cyanobacterial photobiont, and because their different reproductive ...

Molecular studies on cyanobacterial diversity in lichen symbioses
Symbioses between cyanobacteria and lichen-forming fungi occur worldwide in a wide range of terrestrial environments, ranging from tropical rainforests to hot and cold deserts. The evolutionary success of these symbioses is evident from the wide range of

Culturable Diversity of Lichen-Associated Yeasts through Enrichment Strategies
Lichens are symbiotic partnerships between a filamentous fungus and a photosymbiotic “alga”. Studies show that lichens harbor endothallic fungi, but that some taxa have been difficult to isolate from the main filamentous thallus-forming fungus and other ...

New and Noteworthy Lichen-Forming and Lichenicolous Fungi, 11 [PDF]
Fourteen species new for science are described, illustrated and compared with closely related taxa. Six species of them are from South Korea, i.e. Bryostigma huriellae S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Caloplaca ulleungensis S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös et J.-S. Hur, Enterographa dokdoensis S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Neobrownliella salyangensis S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S.

Discovery and excavation of lichen bioactive natural products
Lichen natural products are a tremendous source of new bioactive chemical entities for drug discovery. The ability to survive in harsh conditions can be directly correlated with the production of some unique lichen metabolites.
