Abstract: | The growth of lichens in the field is slow and their cultivation is generally thought to be difficult. We studied the effects
of environmental conditions and culture solutions on the growth of a lichen, and found that growth ofParmotrema tinctorum (Nyl.) Hale in growth cabinets was possible. The thallus area increased by about 20% monthly when the lichen was soaked in
a culture solution for 90 min every four days and then grown at 100% relative humidity when the temperature in the growth
cabinet was 20C and illumination was at 12 W/m2 for 16 hr daily. |
