Differences in thallus chemistry are related to species-specific effects of biocrust-forming lichens on soil nutrients and microbial communities

open access: yes, 2015
Summary 1. It is well-known that vascular plants have species-specific effects on soil properties. However, little is known on how individual species forming biocrusts, communities dominated by lichens, mosses and cyanobacteria that are prevalent in many

Identification of Pyrrolizilactone Biosynthetic Gene Cluster with Unique Short‐Chain Dehydrogenase Gene for 3‐Methylproline Formation

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
A standalone enzyme, derived from the reductase domain of a polyketide synthase‐nonribosomal peptide synthetase hybrid enzyme, is identified as a pyrroline carboxylate reductase. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of 3‐methylproline, an amino acid building block of a unique tricyclic pyrrolizidinone structure of a fungal metabolite ...

Antioxidant Activity and Mechanisms of Action of Natural Compounds Isolated from Lichens: A Systematic Review

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
Chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases are characterized by an enhanced state of oxidative stress, which may result from the overproduction of reactive species and/or a decrease in antioxidant defenses ...

Re‐envisioning urban landscapes: lichens, liverworts, and mosses coexist spontaneously with us

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Current conceptions of “urban biodiversity” address only particular taxa, ignoring the full richness of species within cities. Despite their exclusion from these conceptions, tree‐dwelling lichens, mosses, and liverworts (collectively, “epiphytes”) are recognized as bioindicators of urbanization, but their inherent contributions to biodiversity are ...

Lichens and lichenicolous fungi of the “Golczewskie Uroczysko” nature reserve (NW Poland)

open access: yesActa Biologica, 2017
Lichens of the “Golczewskie Uroczysko” nature reserve were studied in 2007–2008 and 2015–2016. Within the examined area, 68 species of lichens and 5 lichenicolous fungi were observed. Eleven species are included in the red list of threatened lichens in

Histologically verified penile lichen sclerosus—Incidence in Denmark over 26 years and long‐term risk of penile and non‐penile cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? About half of penile squamous cell carcinomas are causally associated with inflammatory conditions such as lichen sclerosus (LSc), but few large‐scale studies have assessed the risk of penile cancer in men with LSc. Here, the authors conducted a large nationwide study in Denmark to estimate the risk of penile and non‐penile cancer in men ...
