The genus Cylindrocolea is newly reported for GuangxiProvinceofChina. alcoholicextract / antibacterialactivity / China / Cylindrocolea recurvifolia / ether extract / Guangxi / liverwort / MBC / MIC / oil body / Pleurozia subinflata INTRODUCTION Bryophytes areone of the important sources of antibiotics and biologically active,naturally occurring compounds (McCleary et al.,1960; Zinmeister et al.,1991). Their economic uses havebeen documented recently by Frahm (2004). Numerous recent studies also showed that bryophytes,particularly liverworts,contain anumber of antibacterialcompounds (Asakawa, 1998; Basile et al.,1998a). Although Chinahas aparticularly richliverwort flora, antibacterial activity of their extracts has not been screened extensively in mainland China (Zhu et al., 2002)owing todifficulties in the collection of pure samples from the wild and lackofexpertisein species identification. Cylindrocolea R.M.Schust.,a small mainly Gondwanalandicgenus, contains ca 12 species (Schuster, 2002). The East Asiatic taxon, C. recurvifolia *Correspondenceand reprints:[email protected] 344 D.Wang,R.-L.Zhu &L.Qu (Steph.) Inoue , is the most common member of Cylindrocolea in Chinaand Japan and it usually forms large and luxuriant populations on very wet rocks along river banks,as showninIwatsuki (2001). The large quantity of wild populations of this species in Taiwanand JiangxiofChinahas led to the finding of anew gymnomi- trane-type sesquiterpenoid (Wu &Kao, 2002)and anaturalledol (Wu et al.,1996, species reported as Cephaloziella recurvifolia ). Thus, Cylindrocolea recurvifolia became the first species of Cephaloziellaceaechemically investigated. Although C. recurvifolia has been well studied taxonomically in Japan(Inoue,1974),its dis- tribution in Chinais still poorly known. Pleurozia Dumort., the only representativeofPleuroziaceae,is ahighly specialized genus with11 species (Thiers,1993). Its diagnosticcharacters, which include apicalcell withonly twocutting faces, smaller saccatedorsallobeof the leaf withanaperturecomplex,and dimorphicperianths in sterile and fertile condition,are uniqueamong liverworts.Owing to the large plant size,many uniquemorphologicalcharacters,and interesting habitats, Pleurozia has attracted the attention of anumber of chemists toinvestigate the chemicalnatureof the genus.Flavonoids in 10 species (Mues et al.,1991) and terpenoids in two species [ P.acinosa (Mitt.) Trevis.and P.gigantea (Web.) Lindb.]havebeen reported (Wu &Asakawa, 1988; Asakawa, 2004). Pleurozia subinflata (Austin) Austin is known from China, Hawaii,Japan,SriLanka, Thailand,and Vietnam(Thiers,1993). It was listed as one of endangered bryophytes in China(Chen,1993; Wu et al.,1997, as P.giganteoides (Horik.) Inoue). During anexpedition tonortheast GuangxiProvinceinSept. 2004, we found that C. recurvifolia and P. subinflata arenot rarelocally,forming large populations.The aim of our study is toinvestigate the possible inhibitory activity of C. recurvifolia and P. subinflata against bacterial species.The present paper not only reports the first discovery of Cylindrocolea in Guangxi,China, it also shows the antibacterialactivity of cephaloziellaceous and pleuroziaceous plants for the first time. MATERIAL AND METHODS Liverwort collections InSeptember 2004, samples of Cylindrocolea recurvifolia werecollected from a single sterile population growing on moist rocks at 550 matLongtangjiang, Huajiang,XinanCo.,GuangxiProvince. Collections of severalfertile populations of Pleurozia subinflata werealsomade from forest canopy at 2000 mat Maoershan,XinanCo.,Guangxi,in September 2004. The voucher specimens, R.- L.Zhu 20040908h for C. recurvifolia, and R.-L.Zhu 20040909-63 for P. subinflata, aredeposited in the herbariumofEast ChinaNormalUniversity (HSNU). Testing microorganisms Seven bacterial species were selected for the antibacterial tests.They are Grampositive(G+): Bacillus megaterium,Bacillus subtilis,Bacillus thuringiensis, Staphylococcus aureus,and Gramnegative(G-): Escherichiacoli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,and Pseudomonas putida . Antibacterialactivity in extracts of twoMarchantiophyta345 Extraction and initial screening The liverwort materials werebrought back to the laboratory in plastic bags.They were washed in distilled water,dried in anoven at 40 °C, and ground intopowders.Ten grams of eachliverwort species were separately shaken in 100 ml 95% ethanol,distilled water,and ether overnight.Extracts were then filtered and stored at 4°C.For screening, the method of discdiffusion assay was used. The six mm sterilized filter paper discs that were soaked in the extracts overnight, wereplaced,after drying,ontoLB agar plates grown with the testing bacteria.The inhibitory activity was indicated by aclear zone around the disc after incubation at 37 °Cfor 24h,and the widthof the clear inhibitory zone was measured. Cultures prepared in the same way but without liverworts were used as controls.Three antibioticdrugs,Amoxicillin,Cefradine,and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride,dissolved in distilled water (10 µ g/ml) were used as references. The results of initial screening are showninTables 1and 2. Table 1.

A serial 2-fold dilution of the plant extracts was made in sterile physiologicalTris buffer (pH 7.4) and added to the LB agar plates togive afinalconcentration range of 4-1000 µ g/ml. EachLB agar plate was incubated at 37 °Cfor 24h.After incubation the lowest concentration of eachextract showing no visible bacterialgrowth was recorded as MIC.Cultureplates containing only sterile physiologicalTris buffer (pH 7.4) were used as control. The MBC determination was performed by transferring the extracts with concentrations higher than the MIC tofreshLB agar plates,following Basile et al. (1998b). The finalconcentrations of the extracts ranged from MIC to 2000 µ g/ml. After incubation at 37 °Cfor 48 h, the MBC was reported as the lowest concentration of the extracts without visible bacterialgrowth. The MIC and MBC values werealsodetermined for the three referenceantibioticdrugs,Amoxicillin, Cefradine,and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, using the aforementioned method. All the assays werecarried out in triplicates.The MIC and MBC results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

  • Plant of the Week Liverworts
    Plant of the Week LLiivveerrwwoorrttss It is hard to believe that a group of plants that includes so many beautiful species, has been saddled with such an awful name. The name liverwort comes from the Anglo- Saxon word “lifer” (liver) and “wyrt” (a plant), the inference being that plants that look like organs of the human body might 1 Telaranea centipes – a leafy provide medicinal benefits for that organ . liverwort Photo: Ron Oldfield Liverworts are close relatives of mosses. Traditionally, they were considered to be one class (Hepaticae) of the division Bryophyta of the Plant Kingdom. The other two classes were the mosses (musci) and the hornworts (Anthocerotae). Using modern molecular techniques, botanists have now elevated each of these classes to divisions of the plant kingdom, so now only mosses belong to the Division Bryophyta. Liverworts are placed in the Division Marchantiophyta and hornworts in the Division Anthocerophyta. All three divisions are now collectively referred to as “Embryophytes”, that is, land plants that do not have a vascular system. Embryophytes are believed to have evolved from a family of freshwater algae, the Charophyceae. In 1994, it was proposed that the three lineages of bryophytes, formed a gradient leading to the vascular plants. The most recent hypothesis is that hornworts share a common ancestor with vascular plants and liverworts are a sister lineage to all other extant embryophytes. Mosses bridge the gap between liverworts 2 and hornworts . Liverworts Mosses Hornworts Tracheophyte s Charophyceae Lunularia cruciata – a thallose liverwort Photo: Ron Oldfield There are two readily identifiable groups of liverworts: thallose liverworts appear to be relatively simple structures, and form flattened green plates that are not differentiated into stems and leaves.

Submitted: March 14, 2008; Returned to authors for corrections: July 10, 2008; Approved: February 15, 2009. ABSTRACT Microscopic evidence confirms that L. cruciata hosting G. proliferum shows major anatomical traits (arbuscules, coils, arbusculate coils and vesicles) generally associated arbuscular mycorrhizal roots and the anatomical morphology of intra-thalli mycelium is predominantly of the Paris-type. Colonised L. cruciata showed a reduction of biomass when compared with axenic plants suggesting a drain of resources towards the fungus and depletion of nutrients required for optimum plant growth. The behaviour of mycothalli regarding available KH2PO4 indicates that the nutritional stress threshold for phosphorus (P) is above the residual amount of P already present in PhytagelTM and in plant inoculum. These raise the possibility that in certain circumstances the relationship between L. cruciata and G. proliferum be parasitic rather than symbiotic and open the door for future studies to ascertain the nature of liverwort-AM fungi relationships.

Towards a stable, informative classification of the Lepidoziaceae (Marchantiophyta) ENDYMION D. COOPER CMNS-Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, 2107 Bioscience Research Building, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742- 4451, USA; [email protected]. Abstract Recent molecular phylogenies of the Lepidoziaceae indicate that the current classification is incongruent with the phylogeny. Although substantial uncertainties remain, an interim classification is needed. The classification proposed includes a broader definition of the Lembidioideae, reinstatement of Neolepidozia and Tricholepidozia and the recognition of the new genus Ceramanus. While the Zoopsidoideae are unlikely to represent a monophyletic group, it is not yet possible to provide a phylogenetically accurate revision of this subfamily. Introduction The Lepidoziaceae are a species-rich cosmopolitan family of leafy liverworts. Although estimates of total species number for liverworts are notoriously variable (von Konrat et al. 2010), the number of accepted species is c. 860 (ELPT database), perhaps as much as 9–10% of the total liverwort species diversity. Taxonomic diversity is highest in cool, wet areas of post-gondwanan land fragments, but the family is cosmopolitan in distribution. In addition to being species-rich
