Lichens metabolites (also Lichens are symbiotic associations of fungi with known as lichen substances) are either primary or microalgae and/or cyanobacteria, which are secondary metabolites [8,9]. Primary metabolites are considered among the slowest growing organisms, required for the growth and maintenance of cells, and with strong tolerance to adverse environmental those metabolites include amino acids, proteins, conditions [1]. Lichens are a valuable source of polyols, polysaccharides, vitamins, and carotenoids. many natural classes with varying biological On the other hand, lichen secondary metabolites do potentials including antiviral, antifungal, analgesic, not contribute in growth, development, or antipyretic, antioxidant, and anticancer effects [2,3]. reproduction but they are usually derived from The potential of lichens for the monitoring of primary metabolism [2,5,8]. radionuclides has been well documented [4,5].

C. vitellina belongs to the kingdom Fungi, class lecanoromycetes, order Candelariales, and family Candelariaceae. This promising lichen is a rich source of antioxidants and anticancer compounds. C. vitellina is a common green-yellow lichen found on the barks, woods, and rocks in Japanese forests.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The new lichen genus Orcularia, based on Rinodina sect. Orcularia, is described. It is characterized by Orcularia-type ascospores and filiform conidia. So far the newly described O. elixii as well as O. insperata (type species), O. placodiomorpha and O. placodiomorphoides are found to belong to this genus. Descriptions, illustrations and a key for them are provided. Key words: lichenized Ascomycota, Australia, taxonomy Introduction Preliminary phylogenetic studies revealed that neither Buellia De Notaris (apothecia without a thalline exciple) (Nordin 2000, Helms et al. 2003) nor Rinodina (Ach.) Gray (apothecia with a thalline exciple) (Nadyeina et al. 2010, Sheard 2010) are monophyletic. In both genera, well differentiated species or groups of species were detected, often with a unique spore type. Species or species-groups that shared other diagnostic characters in addition to the spore-type were segregated into new or resurrected genera [e.g. Buellia s. str. (= Hafellia Kalb, H.

    The striking red pigments in the apothecia of species of Haematomma are concentrated mostly in the epihymenium above the tips of the asci. In this Haematomma persoonii the pigment is a tetracyclic anthraquinone called russulone. The compound has been found in the epihymenia of eight of Australia’s 13 known species of the genus. Haematomma persoonii colonizes bark in the woodlands and forests of eastern Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. Elsewhere in the world it occurs in all of the Americas, plus several sites in Africa and the Pacific. 1 mm CONTENTS ARTICLES Elix, JA; Mayrhofer, H; Rodriguez, JM—Two new species, a new combination and four new records of saxicolous buellioid lichens (Ascomycota, Caliciaceae) from southern South America ............................................................................................... 3 McCarthy, PM; Elix, JA—Sclerophyton puncticulatum sp. nov.

Endolichenic fungi (ELF) are one of the inhabitants living in lichen thalli, and have potential ecological and industrial applications due to their various secondary metabolites. As the function of endophytic fungi on the plant ecology and ecosystem sustainability, ELF may have an influence on the lichen diversity and the ecosystem, functioning similarly to the influence of endophytic fungi on plant ecology and ecosystem sustainability, which suggests the importance of understanding the diversity and community pattern of ELF. In this study, we investigated the diversity and the factors influencing the community structure of ELF in Jeju Island, South Korea by analyzing 619 fungal isolates from 79 lichen samples in Jeju Island. A total of 112 ELF species was identified and the most common species belonged to Xylariales in Sordariomycetes.

Natural England: Kingley Vale NNR Foreword My dissertation project and internship took place in an ancient yew woodland reserve called Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve. Kingley Vale NNR is managed by Natural England. My dissertation deals with the biodiversity in these woodlands. During my stay in England I learned many things about the different aspects of nature conservation in England. First of all I want to thank Katherine Birch (manager of Kingley Vale NNR) for giving guidance through my dissertation project and for creating lots of interesting days during my internship. I want to thank my tutor Isabelle Joos for suggesting Kingley Vale NNR and guiding me during the year. I thank my uncle Guido Bonamie for lending me his microscope and invertebrate books and for helping me with some identifications of invertebrates. I thank Lies Vandercoilden for eliminating my spelling and grammar faults. Thanks to all the people helping with identifications of invertebrates: Guido Bonamie, Jon Webb, Matthew Shepherd, Bryan Goethals. And thanks to the people that reacted on my posts on the Facebook page: Lichens connecting people!
