Abstract Gene expression variation can be partitioned into different components (regulatory, genetic and acclimatory effects) but for lichen-forming fungi, the relative importance of each these effects is unclear. Here, we studied gene in fungus Lobaria pulmonaria response to thermal stress parasitism by lichenicolous Plectocarpon lichenum . Our experimental procedure was acclimate lichen thall...

Lichens are symbiotic partnerships between a filamentous fungus and photosymbiotic “alga”. Studies show that lichens harbor endothallic fungi, but some taxa have been difficult to isolate from the main thallus-forming other faster growing lichenicolous/endothallic fungi. Therefore, we aimed develop evaluate liquid yeast-enrichment strategies (1) lichen-associated yeasts in pure culture, (2) det...

A list of 256 taxa of lichens (252 species) and 2 species of lichenicolous fungi from Montenegro is presented, including 58 taxa (57 species) new to Montenegro. The list is based on specimens kept in the lichen collections of the herbaria GZU, H, Podgorica, and in the private herbarium of Klaus Kalb, and on recent field work in various parts of the country. The genera Biatoridium, Carbonea, Cer...

Two lichen species, Variospora kudratovii and Zeroviella laxa , a lichenicolous Polycoccum clauderouxii are reported for the first time from Pakistan represent generic records as well. Detailed macro- micromorphological descriptions spot test results provided along with ITS-based molecular phylogenetic analysis.

Six species of Micarea growing lichenicolous are treated. They mainly collected in Macaronesia or Spain. Two species, amplissima and M. parasitica described as new to science. Notes on the occurring Micarea, kemmleri, peliocarpa, synotheoides usneae provided.
