Pronounced genetic diversity in tropical epiphyllous lichen fungi

Lowland tropical habitats harbour an unexplored genetic diversity of epiphyllous fungi. In the shade of rainforest understoreys, lichenized fungi are specialized to an ephemeral habitat where they produce little vegetative biomass and develop reproductive structures early. In a first population genetic study of epiphyllous lichen fungi, we analysed the intraspecific genetic diversity of five leaf-colonizing lichen mycobiont species. Sampling focused on a lowland perhumid forest plot in Costa Rica, with additional collections from other localities throughout the country. In all species we detected sympatric occurrence of highly diverged haplotypes. Haplotypes belonging to distinct clades in networks were also found on the same leaf, clearly indicating multiple independent colonization events on single leaves. Despite the unusually high genetic diversity of these leaf-colonizing tropical fungi, we did not detect pronounced spatial structure of the haplotype distribution between geographical regions. The observed patterns suggest that the diversity of foliicolous lichens could be much higher than expected, with several cryptic genetic lineages within each morphologically characterized species.     

Nature and bioactivities of endolichenic fungi in Pseudocyphellaria sp., Parmotrema sp. and Usnea sp. at Hakgala montane forest in Sri Lanka

Aim:  The aim of this study was to investigate the nature and bioactivities of endolichenic fungi in three abundant lichens, Pseudocyphellaria sp., Usnea sp. and Parmotrema sp. in the lower elevation of Hakgala montane forest in Sri Lanka.
Methods and Results:  Endolichenic fungal strains, fungi that live asymptomatically in the lichen thallus, much the same way as endophytic fungi live within healthy plant tissues, were isolated from three abundant lichen species, Pseudocyphellaria sp., Usnea sp. and Parmotrema sp., at Hakgala montane forest in Sri Lanka, using the surface sterilization method. Nine endolichenic fungal strains were isolated from Parmotrema sp. and Usnea sp. separately, while 11 endolichenic fungi were recovered from the lichen Pseudocyphellaria sp. Isolation of endolichenic fungus Chrysosporium sp. 2 was common to all three lichen species. Substrate utilization patterns and antifungal activities of eight endolichenic fungal species were evaluated and the results revealed that all the test fungi were able to produce at least one enzyme to utilize the test substrates. Nigrospora sp., Chrysosporium sp. 1 and 2 and Cladosporium sp. showed antifungal activities on growth of some selected plant pathogenic fungi.
Conclusions:  Endolichenic fungal strains (29) were isolated from the lichens Parmotrema sp., Usnea sp. and Pseudocyphellaria sp. in Sri Lanka. Chrysosporium sp. 2 was common in all three lichens. Some of these endolichenic fungal strains showed antifungal activities against common plant pathogenic fungi and they are capable of utilizing the substrates by producing specific enzymes.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  The diversity and prevalence of the endolichenic fungi have not been studied extensively and this is the first report of isolation and identification of endolichenic fungi in lichens available in Sri Lanka.

Biodiversity of lichens,including a world-wide analysis of checklist data based on Takhtajan’s floristic regions

The similarity of lichenized fungal species composition among the 35 floristic regions recognized by Takhtajan was calculated, based on checklists of 132 geographical units and a first draft of a global checklist of lichens and allied fungi (which lists 18,882 species) to assess biogeographic and biodiversity patters of lichenized fungi. A nearest-neighbour cluster analysis of pair-wise comparisons of species composition data (Jaccard index of similarity) from these geographical units is presented. Four main geographical regions were identified: holarctic, subantarctic/Australian, oceanian, and pantropical. Possible changes of the global species number caused by increasing availability of molecular data are discussed. A prospect on future developments of lichen biodiversity research is provided.

Diversity of Rock-Inhabiting Cyanobacterial Lichens: Studies on Granite Inselbergs along the Orinoco and in Guyana

Abstract: A survey was undertaken of specialized saxicolous cyanobacterial lichens growing on exposed granitic rock surfaces of inselbergs in Venezuela and additionally in Guyana and French Guyana. The study focused on taxonomy and species composition. Twenty-three cyanobacterial lichens were found, four of which are new to science: Peltula auriculata, Phylliscum vermiformis, Psorotichia polyspora and Pterygiopsis guyanensis. Besides the new species, almost all taxa are absent from the available lists of lichen-forming fungi from the Guyana region. Although free-living cyanobacteria are the dominant group in biological crusts covering the inselbergs, the number of cyanobacterial lichens is relatively high and their distribution is homogenous over long distances and macro-climatic gradients. As inselberg rock faces undergo relatively fast weathering under moist tropical climates, numerous micro-habitats are formed. Among these, xeric micro-habitats are favourable for colonization by cyanobacterial lichens, mainly of the Lichinaceae and Peltulaceae. It is concluded that granite inselbergs in the savannas of the Orinoco lowland and the Guyana region are local centres of diversity for saxicolous cyanobacterial lichens.

Commercial and ethnic use of lichens in India

The diversity of Indian lichen flora has undergone a considerable decline in the last five decades. Among the various anthropogenic activities, overexploitation and selective removal of economically important lichens have become major threats to the lichen flora of the country. Commercial samples of lichens collected from different states of India were studied for their source and commercial use. Among samples offered for sale, 38 different lichen species were identified. The western Himalayas proved to be the main area for lichen collection, while some lichen species also come from the central and Western Ghats. Local traders coordinate the lichen collection and then sell the material to traders in the foothills, and from there it is processed and distributed to other parts of the country and abroad. Because lichens belonging to the families Parmeliaceae and Physciaceae are the ones most exploited commercially, they are recommended for inclusion in the CITES list.     

Studies on diversity of higher fungi in Yunnan,southwestern China: A review

Yunnan is exceedingly rich in higher fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota). Given that the number of fungi (including lichens) occurring in a given area is, as Hawksworth suggested, roughly six times that of local vascular plants, a total of approximately 104,000 fungal species would be expected in Yunnan. However, to date only about 6000 fungal species, including roughly 3000 species of higher fungi, have been reported from the province. Although studies on Yunnan's fungi started in the late nineteenth century, significant progress has been made only in the last forty-five years. Over the first twenty-five years of this period, studies on fungal diversity in this area have largely been about taxonomy based on morphological characters and partially on geographical distribution. Over the past twenty years, the combination of both morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches has become the preferred method to help understand the diversity and evolution of higher fungi. This review focuses on our current knowledge of how geological, geographical, and ecological factors may have contributed to the diversity patterns of higher fungi in Yunnan. Based on this knowledge, three aspects for future studies are suggested.     

Composition and diversity of endolichenic microfungal communities from saxicolous lichens at Nahal Boker,the central Negev Desert,Israel

We studied the endolichenic fungal communities from saxicolous lichens occupying the cobbles at Nahal Boker, the central Negev Desert, Israel. Overall, 101 species belonging to 64 genera were isolated from 12 lichen species collected in three seasons from the south-facing slope (SFS) and north-facing slope (NFS) of the wadi. The endolichenic communities possessed a set of traits, which helped them to cope with harsh internal and external conditions. It included a prevalence of melanin-containing fungi with thick-walled and multicellular spores and a comparatively high contribution of thermotolerant species and species with meiospore-producing life cycle stage at the more microclimatically severe SFS. Species richness and isolate density of endolichenic communities was the highest in fruticose lichens with thick and wrinkled thalli, and the lowest in endolithic species possessing thin and smooth thalli. The communities from lichens formed a more diverse group than those from surrounding cobbles probably due to the influence of various species of lichens belonging to different growth forms.
