Maria Grimm1*, Martin Grube2, Ulf Schiefelbein3, Daniela Zühlke1, Jörg Bernhardt1 and Katharina Riedel1 1 Institute of Microbiology, University Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany, 2 Institute of Plant Sciences, Karl-Franzens-University Graz, Graz, Austria, 3 Botanical Garden, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany Lichens represent self-supporting symbioses, which occur in a wide range of terrestrial habitats and which contribute significantly to mineral cycling and energy flow at a global scale. Lichens usually grow much slower than higher plants. Nevertheless, lichens can contribute substantially to biomass production. This review focuses on the lichen symbiosis in general and especially on the model species Lobaria pulmonaria L. Hoffm., which is a large foliose lichen that occurs worldwide on tree trunks in undisturbed forests with long ecological continuity. In comparison to many other lichens, L. pulmonaria is less tolerant to desiccation and highly sensitive to air pollution. The name- giving mycobiont (belonging to the Ascomycota), provides a protective layer covering a layer of the green-algal photobiont (Dictyochloropsis reticulata) and interspersed cyanobacterial cell clusters (Nostoc spec.). Recently performed metaproteome analyses Edited by: confirm the partition of functions in lichen partnerships. The ample functional diversity Nathalie Connil, Université de Rouen, France of the mycobiont contrasts the predominant function of the photobiont in production Reviewed by: (and secretion) of energy-rich carbohydrates, and the cyanobiont’s contribution by Dirk Benndorf, nitrogen fixation.

  • An Evolving Phylogenetically Based Taxonomy of Lichens and Allied Fungi
    Opuscula Philolichenum, 11: 4-10. 2012. *pdf available online 3January2012 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) An evolving phylogenetically based taxonomy of lichens and allied fungi 1 BRENDAN P. HODKINSON ABSTRACT. – A taxonomic scheme for lichens and allied fungi that synthesizes scientific knowledge from a variety of sources is presented. The system put forth here is intended both (1) to provide a skeletal outline of the lichens and allied fungi that can be used as a provisional filing and databasing scheme by lichen herbarium/data managers and (2) to announce the online presence of an official taxonomy that will define the scope of the newly formed International Committee for the Nomenclature of Lichens and Allied Fungi (ICNLAF). The online version of the taxonomy presented here will continue to evolve along with our understanding of the organisms. Additionally, the subfamily Fissurinoideae Rivas Plata, Lücking and Lumbsch is elevated to the rank of family as Fissurinaceae. KEYWORDS. – higher-level taxonomy, lichen-forming fungi, lichenized fungi, phylogeny INTRODUCTION Traditionally, lichen herbaria have been arranged alphabetically, a scheme that stands in stark contrast to the phylogenetic scheme used by nearly all vascular plant herbaria. The justification typically given for this practice is that lichen taxonomy is too unstable to establish a reasonable system of classification. However, recent leaps forward in our understanding of the higher-level classification of fungi, driven primarily by the NSF-funded Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life (AFToL) project (Lutzoni et al. 2004), have caused the taxonomy of lichen-forming and allied fungi to increase significantly in stability. This is especially true within the class Lecanoromycetes, the main group of lichen-forming fungi (Miadlikowska et al.

No. 86: 235- 241(July 1999) CAROTENOIDS IN LICHENS FROM BENNET ISLAND LYING IN THE EAST-SIBERIAN SEA 1 2 1 BAZYLI CZECZUGA , MIKHAIL ZHURBENK0 , EWA CZECZUGA-SEMENIUK AND MARILYN D. WALKER3 ABSTRACT . Column and thin-layer chromatography revealed the presence of the following carotenoids in the thalli of 14 lichen species (18 specimens) from Bennet Island (East-Siberian Sea): a-, /3-carotene, /3-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, lutein epoxide, antheraxanthin, violaxanthin, mu­ tatoxanthin, neoxanthin, 3 '-hydroxyechinenone, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, rhodoxanthin, cap­ sochrome and /3-citraurin. The total content of carotenoids ranged from 46.8 in Sphaerophorus globosus to 87.5 µg g- 1 dry wt in Cetraria nigricans. The amount of the carotenoid content in the form of the provitamin of vita­ min A ranged from 12.5 to 68.3% of the total carotenoid content. INTRODUCTION Lichens in the far north play an important role in the life both of the animals living in these areas, particularly reindeer, and the people (Turner 1977, Donkin 1981 , Richardson and Young 1977, Richardson 1988). During the long winters, they provide practically the only food available to the reindeer and from the lichens these animals assimilate microele­ ments and vitamins (Pulliainen 1971 ). Certain carotenoids produced by plants, including lichens, are known to be a source of vitamin A. Study of the carotenoid content of common species of lichen in this region is therefore not only of theoretical but also of practical sig­ nificance. MATERIALS AND METHODS The lichen species studied were collected in July- August 1989 from Bennet Island (76°S, 149°E; habitat soil and stone; altitude 240-260 m) belonging to the Novosibirsk Is­ lands which are classified as being in the "high" Arctic Circle, lying in the East-Siberian Sea.

R. China * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract —Four lichen taxa of Lecideaceae, Amygdalaria consentiens var. consentiens, Porpidia carlottiana, P. lowiana, and P. tuberculosa, are reported for the first time from China. Key words —Asia, Lecideales, lichens Introduction The family Lecideaceae Chevall. contains about 23 genera and 547 species, of which the largest genus is Lecidea Ach., containing about 427 species (Kirk et al. 2008, Fryday & Hertel 2014). In China, twenty-three species of the other genera in Lecideaceae have been reported, including two each of Amygdalaria Norman, Bellemerea Hafellner & Cl. Roux, and Immersaria Rambold & Pietschm.; one each of Lecidoma Gotth. Schneid. & Hertel, Paraporpidia Rambold & Pietschm., and Stenhammarella Hertel; and 16 species of Porpidia Körb. (Hertel 1977, Wei 1991; Aptroot & Seaward 1999; Aptroot 2002; Aptroot & Sparrius 2003; Obermayer 2004; Guo 2005; Zhang et al. 2010, 2012; Wang et al. 2012; Ismayi & Abbas 2013; Hu et al. 2014). Amygdalaria and Porpidia are obviously very closely related. Both have large halonate ascospores, a high hymenium, Porpidia-type asci, and a dark pigmented hypothecium and are (with a few exceptions) restricted to lime-free, silicate rocks. However Amygdalaria can be best distinguished from Porpidia by the presence of cephalodia, the higher hymenium (over 130 µm), the larger ascospores (generally 20–35 × 10–16 µm) with conspicuous, rather compact epispores, and a tendency toward a brownish or yellowish pink thallus (Inoue 1984, Brodo & Hertel 1987, Gowan 1989, Smith et al.

  • Serpentine Geoecology of Eastern North America: a Review
    RHODORA, Vol. 111, No. 945, pp. 21–108, 2009 E Copyright 2009 by the New England Botanical Club SERPENTINE GEOECOLOGY OF EASTERN NORTH AMERICA: A REVIEW NISHANTA RAJAKARUNA College of the Atlantic, 105 Eden Street, Bar Harbor, ME 04609 Current Address: Department of Biological Sciences, One Washington Square, San Jose´ State University, San Jose´, CA 95192-0100 e-mail: [email protected] TANNER B. HARRIS University of Massachusetts, Fernald Hall, 270 Stockbridge Road, Amherst, MA 01003 EARL B. ALEXANDER 1714 Kasba Street, Concord, CA 94518 ABSTRACT. Serpentine outcrops are model habitats for geoecological studies. While much attention has been paid to serpentine outcrops worldwide, the literature on eastern North American serpentine and associated biota is scant. This review examines the available literature, published and unpublished, on geoecological studies conducted on serpentine in eastern North America, from Newfoundland through Que´bec and New England south to Alabama. Most serpentine outcrops in the region have been mapped, but there have been few intensive mineralogical and pedological investigations. The limited soil analyses available suggest elevated levels of heavy metals such as Ni, near-neutralpH values, and Ca:Mg ratios , 1, characteristic of serpentine soils worldwide. Botanical studies to date have largely focused on floristic surveys and the influence of fire exclusion and grazing on indigenous vegetation. To date, 751 taxa of vascular plants belonging to 92 families have been reported from serpentine outcrops in the region. Two taxa, Agalinis acuta and Schwalbea americana, are federally endangered in the United States while many others are listed as rare, endangered, or imperiled in one or more states or provinces.
