Photobiont selectivity leads to ecological tolerance and evolutionary divergence in a polymorphic complex of lichenized fungi [PDF]
, 2014 Background and Aims The integrity and evolution of lichen symbioses depend on a fine-tuned combination of algal and fungal genotypes. Geographically widespread species complexes of lichenized fungi can occur in habitats with slightly varying ecological ...

New Phytologist, Volume 208, Issue 2, Page 544-554, October 2015., 2015 Summary Phytase activity was investigated in 13 lichen species using a novel assay method. The work tested the hypothesis that phytase is a component of the suite of surface‐bound lichen enzymes that hydrolyse simple organic forms of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) deposited onto the thallus surface.

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The phytochemical analysis of methanol and chloroform extracts of Umbilicaria cylindrica was determined by HPLC‐UV method. The predominant phenolic compound in both extracts was depsidone, salazinic acid (1). Besides salazinic acid, the tested extracts of U. cylindrica contain norstictic acid (2), methyl‐β‐orcinol carboxylate (3), ethyl haematommate (4)
