  • The Lichens' Microbiota, Still a Mystery?

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.

    GROUPS AT A GLANCE: MARINE PLANT CRUSTS, STAINS, SCUMS AND SCALES (microscope views are in blue; the coin scale is 24mm or almost 1” wide) The overall shape (morphology) and internal structure (anatomy) of a few algae are distinctive enough for you to be able to place them in a major group or genus, even though the reproductive stages usually needed to identify them using the Flora may be missing. The pictorial descriptions below rely on this possibility. But, this is only a first step in identifying a species, and you should always, finally, refer to a complete description to ensure valid identifications. The presentation below does not include algae that are low, turf-like, or form spreading mats. For these, see the: “PICTURED KEYS OF COMMON SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN MARINE PLANTS: turf and fouling algae, II mat and turf species” Only algae forming crusts, scum- or scale-like layers are included below. These might seem trivial differences compared with plant turfs and mats, but reference to the images should separate them reasonably well.

  • Lichen Polysaccharides
    Chapter 8 Lichen Polysaccharides Desiree Nedra Karunaratne, R.G.U. Jayalal and V. Karunaratne Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/51021 1. Introduction Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of a fungal partner, the mycobiont, and one or more photosynthetic partners, the photobiont, which may be either a green alga or a cyanobacterium (Nash III, 1996; Wolseley and Aguirre-Hudson, 1994 and Yoshimura, 2004). The mycobiont in this combination is an ascomycete or a basidiomycete and the photobiont a green alga or a cyanobacterium. Some lichen species can contain more than one green algal species as photobionts (Friedl and Gärtner, 1988; Friedl, 1989; Ihda et al., 1993). At present, about 13,500 fungal species have been recognized to be involved in lichen symbiosis (Hawksworth et al. 1995; Kirk et al., 2001). However, Sipman and Aptroot (2001) stated that this number could be as high as 20,000 after including “orphaned” species; according to Lumbsch et al., (2011), about 10,000 of lichenized fungi have been estimated as undescribed species. The hyphae of mycobionts are septate, branched, thin or thick walled, and the walls are colourless or variously coloured. It is necessary that the photobiont, which is essentially aquatic in nature, remains protected from desiccation in a lichenized terrestrial condition. The protection is provided by the mycobiont which forms the bulk of the thallus, by the development of specialized hyphal tissues in the form of a cover or cortex over the stratum of the photobiont. The development of the cortex is assumed to be stimulated by the photobiont (Ahmadjian, 1987).

  • Lichen Flora of the Kawerua Area, by B. W. and G. C. Hayward, P 125
    TANE 20 1974 LICHEN FLORA OF THE KAWERUA AREA by B.W. Hayward* and Glenys C. Haywardf SUMMARY One hundred and twenty-six lichen species from forty-one genera are recorded from Kawerua and the surrounding area. The marine lichen, Lichina confinis is recorded from New Zealand for the first time. Studies on maritime — marine lichens indicate that increased exposure to the sea's forces affects their zonation in the same way it affects intertidal zonation i.e. the lichen zones are widened and extended upwards with increasing exposure. A distinctive associa• tion of Cladonia species is recorded from sand-dunes and a large number of Cladonias are found on the sandy ground beneath semi-open manuka heath and in pine forest canopy gaps. A luxuriant lichen flora of crustose and foliose species is described from kauri forest. A vegetation map of the Kawerua area, a transect through sand-dune vegetation, and a north-south transect over a ridge in kauri forest are also presented. INTRODUCTION The lichens recorded here were collected and studied by the authors during the May 1973 trip to the A.U.F.C. scientific hut at Kawerua, North Auckland. A species list is presented for the surrounding area together with a description of the various habitat associations with detailed accounts of lichens from marine — maritime, sand-dune and kauri forest habitats. Few lichens have previously been recorded from North Auckland and earlier collections are meagre. All lichens from the present study are held in the authors' collection, and many duplicates are held by the Auckland Museum and Dr D.J.

Nomenclature and ecological data on freshwater fungi can be accessed on http://fungi.life.illinois.edu/, while http://www.marinespecies.org/provides a comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on their synonymy. Previous websites however have little information on marine fungi and their ecology, beside articles that deal with marine fungi, especially those published in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries may not be accessible to those working in third world countries. To address this problem, a new website www.marinefungi.org was set up and is introduced in this paper. This website provides a search facility to genera of marine fungi, full species descriptions, key to species and illustrations, an up to date classification of all recorded marine fungi which includes all fungal groups (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Mucoromycota and fungus-like organisms e.g.
