Antarctic Epilithic Lichens as Niches for Black Meristematic Fungi
Sixteen epilithic lichen samples (13 species), collected from seven locations in Northern and Southern Victoria Land in Antarctica, were investigated for the presence of black fungi. Thirteen fungal strains isolated were studied by both morphological and molecular methods. Nuclear ribosomal 18S gene sequences were used together with the most similar published and unpublished sequences of fungi ...
متن کاملBlack fungi in lichens from seasonally arid habitats
We present a phylogenetic study of black fungi in lichens, primarily focusing on saxicolous samples from seasonally arid habitats in Armenia, but also with examples from other sites. Culturable strains of lichen-associated black fungi were obtained by isolation from surface-washed lichen material. Determination is based on ITS rDNA sequence data and comparison with published sequences from othe...
متن کاملDifferent Heavy Metal Accumulation Strategies of Epilithic Lichens Colonising Artificial Post-Smelting Wastes
Lichens appear to be essential and effective colonisers of bare substrates including the extremely contaminated wastes of slag dumps. This study examines the metal accumulation capacity of epilithic lichens growing directly on the surface of artificial slag sinters. Four species representing different growth forms, i.e., crustose Candelariella aurella, Lecanora muralis, and Lecidea fuscoatra an...
متن کاملSome recent studies on the metabolites of fungi and lichens.
Various anthraquinonoid colouring matters grouped into (a) monomeric anthraquinones, (b) bianthraquinones and (c) modified bianthraquinones were isolated from Pen icillium islandicum, P. rugulosum, and other fungi. The unusual cagelike structures of hepatotoxic luteoskyrin, (—)rubroskyrin, (+ )rugulosin and their analogues are elucidated. The absolute stereochemical structures of these fungal c...
متن کاملEisosome Ultrastructure and Evolution in Fungi, Microalgae, and Lichens.
Eisosomes are among the few remaining eukaryotic cellular differentations that lack a defined function(s). These trough-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane have largely been studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which their associated proteins, including two BAR domain proteins, have been identified, and homologues have been found throughout the fungal radiation. Using quick-freeze de...
