The occurrance of S. spathuliferum has not been confirmed during this study, therefore its status in Poland remains unknown. During the study three lectotypes were designated. The lichenicolous fungi, Cercidospora stereocaulorum and Roselliniella stereocaulorum on Stereocaulon were also noted. A key to known Stereocaulon taxa in Poland, including S. spathuliferum is provided.

Hoffm. is known since 1791, when Schreber [1] used it to distinguish section within the genus Lichen L. Unfortunately, the author did not cite any species belonging to this section. In the present, accepted sense Stereocaulon was proposed by Hoffmann [2], who included to this genus S. condensatum Hoffm. and S. paschale (L.) Hoffm., and some species belonging nowadays to other genera: Leprocaulon Nyl., Sphaerophorus Pers., Pertusaria DC., Lichina C. Agardh and Parmeliella Müll. Arg. However, for the first time, the name Stereocaulon in a generic rank was used by Schrader [3], who included it to the name Lichen corallinus L. [=Pertusaria corallina (L.) Arnold]. Therefore, according to Lamb [4], the name Stereocaulon should be used for species currently belonging to the genus Pertusaria DC., described in 1805, and the oldest generic name for Stereocaulon would be Coralloides Hoffm. To avoid a multiplication of the new nomenclatoric combinations, the name Stereocaulon sensu (Schreb.) Hoffm., asnomen conservandum was proposed [4]. The correct name cita- tion is Stereocaulon (Schreb.) Hoffm. not Stereocaulon (Schreb.) Schrad. Meanwhile Dodge [5] designated as a generitype S. pachale – one of those species described by Hoffmann [2]. In the nineteenth century a significant contribution to the understanding of the lichen genus Stereocaulon was brought by Th. Fries and W. Nylander. The first published monographic treatment of the genus was written by Fries [6,7], who described many new representatives. After revision of the type specimens, eight of these taxa were accepted, while others were considered as synonyms of previously described species of Stereocaulon. The taxonomic position of some of them still remains unclear. Nylander [8–13] also described new taxa within Stereocaulon, eight of them [S. apocalypticum Nyl., S. corticatulum Nyl., S. curtatum Nyl., S. exutum Nyl., S. foliolosum Nyl., S. pityrizans Nyl., S. subcoralloides (Nyl.) Nyl. and S. verruciferum Nyl.] are actually accepted. The first work devoted to the genus taxonomy in the twentieth century was published by Riddle [14], who reported nine species from North America and presented the key for their determination. In addition, this author, focused for the first time on phyllocladia as an impor- tant diagnostic character. The names that he proposed for the structures are in use till today.

We studied here the diversity of the photobionts associated with Cladonia, a sub-cosmopolitan genus ecologically important, whose photobionts belong to the green algae genus Asterochloris. The genetic diversity of Asterochloris was screened by using the ITS rDNA and actin type I regions in 223 specimens and 135 species of Cladonia collected all over the world. These data, added to those available in GenBank, were compiled in a dataset of altogether 545 Asterochloris sequences occurring in 172 species of Cladonia. A high diversity of Asterochloris associated with Cladonia was found. The commonest photobiont lineages associated with this genus are A. glomerata, A. italiana,andA. mediterranea. Analyses of partitioned variation were carried out in order to elucidate the relative influence on the photobiont genetic variation of the following factors: mycobiont identity, geographic distribution, climate, and mycobiont phylogeny. The mycobiont identity and climate were found to be the main drivers for the genetic variation of Asterochloris. The geographical distribution of the different Asterochloris lineages was described. Some lineages showed a clear dominance in one or several climatic regions. In addition, the specificity and the selectivity were studied for 18 species of Cladonia. Potentially specialist and generalist species of Cladonia were identified. A correlation was found between the sexual reproduction frequency of the host and the frequency of certain Asterochloris OTUs.

  • Lichens of Alaska's South Coast

    United States Department of Agriculture Lichens of Alaska’s South Coast Forest Service R10-RG-190 Alaska Region Reprint April 2014 WHAT IS A LICHEN? Lichens are specialized fungi that “farm” algae as a food source. Unlike molds, mildews, and mushrooms that parasitize or scavenge food from other organisms, the fungus of a lichen cultivates tiny algae and / or blue-green bacteria (called cyanobacteria) within the fabric of interwoven fungal threads that form the body of the lichen (or thallus). The algae and cyanobacteria produce food for themselves and for the fungus by converting carbon dioxide and water into sugars using the sun’s energy (photosynthesis). Thus, a lichen is a combination of two or sometimes three organisms living together. Perhaps the most important contribution of the fungus is to provide a protective habitat for the algae or cyanobacteria. The green or blue-green photosynthetic layer is often visible between two white fungal layers if a piece of lichen thallus is torn off. Most lichen-forming fungi cannot exist without the photosynthetic partner because they have become dependent on them for survival. But in all cases, a fungus looks quite different in the lichenized form compared to its free-living form. HOW DO LICHENS REPRODUCE? Lichens sexually reproduce with fruiting bodies of various shapes and colors that can often look like miniature mushrooms. These are called apothecia (Fig. 1) and contain spores that germinate and Figure 1. Apothecia, fruiting grow into the fungus. Each bodies fungus must find the right photosynthetic partner in order to become a lichen. Lichens reproduce asexually in several ways.

    The Phylogeny of Plant and Animal Pathogens in the Ascomycota

    Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology (2001) 59, 165±187 doi:10.1006/pmpp.2001.0355, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on MINI-REVIEW The phylogeny of plant and animal pathogens in the Ascomycota MARY L. BERBEE* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada (Accepted for publication August 2001) What makes a fungus pathogenic? In this review, phylogenetic inference is used to speculate on the evolution of plant and animal pathogens in the fungal Phylum Ascomycota. A phylogeny is presented using 297 18S ribosomal DNA sequences from GenBank and it is shown that most known plant pathogens are concentrated in four classes in the Ascomycota. Animal pathogens are also concentrated, but in two ascomycete classes that contain few, if any, plant pathogens. Rather than appearing as a constant character of a class, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals was gained and lost repeatedly. The genes that code for some traits involved in pathogenicity or virulence have been cloned and characterized, and so the evolutionary relationships of a few of the genes for enzymes and toxins known to play roles in diseases were explored. In general, these genes are too narrowly distributed and too recent in origin to explain the broad patterns of origin of pathogens. Co-evolution could potentially be part of an explanation for phylogenetic patterns of pathogenesis. Robust phylogenies not only of the fungi, but also of host plants and animals are becoming available, allowing for critical analysis of the nature of co-evolutionary warfare. Host animals, particularly human hosts have had little obvious eect on fungal evolution and most cases of fungal disease in humans appear to represent an evolutionary dead end for the fungus.

Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kraków, Poland; 4 Department of Arctic and Marine Biology, UiT—The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Norway Abstract Keywords Lichen secondary metabolites; ruminant; Previous studies of Eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in faecal samples; Spitsbergen; Arctic Norway indicate that their rumen microbiota play a key role in degrading lichen secondary metabolites. We investigated the presence of usnic acid and atranorin Contact in faecal samples from Svalbard reindeer (R. tarandus platyrhynchus). Samples Michał Hubert We˛grzyn, Prof. were collected in Bolterdalen valley together with vegetation samples from the Z. Czeppe Department of Polar study site. The mesic tundra in this area was dominated by vascular plants (59% Research and Documentation, Institute of vegetation cover). Bryophytes (16%) and lichens (25%) were also present. of Botany, Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 3, 30-387 Kraków, Poland. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of usnic acid and atranorin in lichen and E-mail: [email protected] faeces samples were performed using high-performance liquid chromatogra- phy. Contents of atranorin averaged 12.49 ± 0.41 mg g–1 in the thalli of Stereo- Abbreviations caulon alpinum, while the average level of usnic acid was lowest in Cladonia mitis HPLC: high-performance liquid (12.75 ± 2.86 mg g–1) and highest in Flavocetraria cucullata (34.87 ± 0.47 mg g–1).
