Type studies on Parmotrema ( Parmeliaceae , Ascomycota ) with salazinic acid
Plant and Fungal Systematics, 2020 The species of Parmotrema with salazinic acid were revised, based on the types of the accepted names, as well as their synonyms. Descriptions for 66 species are given and the synonymy, chemistry, distribution and taxonomic affinities of each species ...

Different Patterns of Frequency, Lichen Specificity and Thallus Location Between the Yeast and Filamentous Phases of Two Lichen-Inhabiting Basidiomycetes. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolThe yeast phases of two lichen‐inhabiting basidiomycetes (1) are less specific towards the lichen they inhabit than the filamentous phase, (2) coexist with yeasts of different taxonomic classes and (3) occur in the cortex—as previously reported—but also in the medulla and interestingly in the soredia, the asexual symbiotic propagules of the lichen ...

Biosynthetic gene cluster synteny: Orthologous polyketide synthases in Hypogymnia physodes, Hypogymnia tubulosa, and Parmelia sulcata. [PDF]
Microbiologyopen, 2023 The new Parmelia sulcata genome from the metagenomic sample was evaluated with Hypogymnia physodes and Hypogymnia tubulosa to identify orthologous polyketide synthase (PKS)‐related biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC). The phylogenetic tree highlights the relation of investigated sequences.

Gut Mycobiota of Three Rhinopithecus Species Provide New Insights into the Association Between Diet and Environment. [PDF]
Integr ZoolThis study revealed the basic structures of gut mycobiota of three wild Rhinopithecus species. The gut mycobiota of Rhinopithecus showed close connection with their feeding habits, and there were associations between gut mycobiota and the host's living environments.

The First Whole Genome Sequencing of Historical Lichen Specimens Enables Genome-Wide Analysis of Fungal and Algal Symbionts. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe established an efficient method for sequencing the whole genome of historical lichen specimens. By using this method, we successfully retrieved genomic data to perform phylogenetic analysis of both mycobiont and photobiont. ABSTRACT With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing techniques, natural history museums and herbaria have become new ...

Ascospore size declines with elevation in two tropical parmelioid lichens
Plant and Fungal Systematics, 2020 Spore size and shape are biometric parameters frequently used in lichen taxonomy, especially in species characterization. However, the influence of environmental factors on the intraspecific variability of these characters remains very little ...

An Integrative Approach for Understanding Diversity in the Punctelia rudecta Species Complex (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 High levels of cryptic diversity have been documented in lichenized fungi, especially in Parmeliaceae, and integrating various lines of evidence, including coalescent-based species delimitation approaches, help establish more robust species ...

Two‐step isolation of the two major paraconic acids of Cetraria islandica
Journal of Separation Science, Volume 46, Issue 6, March 2023., 2023 The lichen Cetraria islandica is traditionally used as a demulcent for the symptomatic treatment of irritations of the mouth and throat and associated dry cough, as well as for the treatment of temporary loss of appetite. In addition to depsides and depsidones, thalli contain paraconic acids, a group of secondary metabolites commonly found in lichens ...
