Linking a Gene Cluster to Atranorin, a Major Cortical Substance of Lichens, through Genetic Dereplication and Heterologous Expression

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Lichens play significant roles in ecosystem function and comprise about 20% of all known fungi. Polyketide-derived natural products accumulate in the cortical and medullary layers of lichen thalli, some of which play key roles in protection from biotic ...

Two New Lichen Species, Thelopsis ullungdoensis and Phylloblastia gyeongsangbukensis from Korea

open access: yesMycobiology, 2020
Two new species, Thelopsis ullungdoensis and Phylloblastia gyeongsangbukensis are described from Ullung-Do (Island), South Korea. The closest relatives from Europe and Korea are epiphytic Thelopsis flaveola which differs by their immersed or semi ...

An unusual growth form of Cladonia furcata: The trampling-resistant primary thallus colonizing a paved pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Lichens are well known to be susceptible to damage by trampling. Fruticose species, with their highly branched structure, are particularly sensitive and Bayfield et al. (1981) described substantial damage to Cladonia uncialis, C.

Flexible Pressure Sensor With Co‐Optimized Sensitivity and Linearity Based on Gradient Toroidal Microstructures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor with gradient toroidal CNT/PDMS microstructures is reported. The hierarchical geometry enables sequential electrode contact, achieving a sensitivity of 256.20 kPa−1 and linear response (R2 = 0.99) over 0–1000 kPa.

Generation of a Clean Host for Polyketide Production Using Agricultural Wastes in Ascochyta Rabiei

open access: yesMycobiology
The plant pathogenic fungus Ascochyta rabiei produces solanapyrones, which are polyketide-derived secondary metabolites, during its saprobic growth on straws. Previously, we utilized A. rabiei as a heterologous host to produce a lichen-derived polyketide

Diversity of nematodes associated with Heterodermia diademata: A case study in the Eco Área of Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina

open access: yesEcología Austral, 2023
Lichens represent a complex life form characterized by a symbiotic partnership between at least two organisms: a fungus and an alga. In this unique relationship, the fungus offers a protective habitat for the alga, which, in turn, harnesses energy from ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...
