Depside and Depsidone Synthesis in Lichenized Fungi Comes into Focus through a Genome-Wide Comparison of the Olivetoric Acid and Physodic Acid Chemotypes of Pseudevernia furfuracea [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 Primary biosynthetic enzymes involved in the synthesis of lichen polyphenolic compounds depsides and depsidones are non-reducing polyketide synthases (NR-PKSs), and cytochrome P450s.

Gene abundance linked to climate zone: Parallel evolution of gene content along elevation gradients in lichenized fungi [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionIntraspecific genomic variability affects a species’ adaptive potential toward climatic conditions. Variation in gene content across populations and environments may point at genomic adaptations to specific environments. The lichen symbiosis,

Survey of Lichenized Fungi DNA Barcodes on King George Island (Antarctica): An Aid to Species Discovery [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 DNA barcoding is a powerful method for the identification of lichenized fungi groups for which the diversity is already well-represented in nucleotide databases, and an accurate, robust taxonomy has been established.

More than you can see: Unraveling the ecology and biodiversity of lichenized fungi associated with leaves and needles of 12 temperate tree species using high-throughput sequencing [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Currently, lichen surveys are generally based on the examination of fruiting bodies. Lichens in the mycelial stage, in spores, or awaiting conditions for fruiting body formation are usually overlooked, even though they are important for maintaining ...

Sequencing genomes from mixed DNA samples - evaluating the metagenome skimming approach in lichenized fungi. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 The metagenome skimming approach, i.e. low coverage shotgun sequencing of multi-species assemblages and subsequent reconstruction of individual genomes, is increasingly used for in-depth genomic characterization of ecological communities.
