An update of xanthones encountered in lichens is proposed as more than 20 new xanthones
have been described since the publication of the compendium of lichen metabolites by …

Airborne cyanobacteria and microalgae are commonly found in the atmosphere and may
pose a serious human health risk. This study presents an innovative investigation of the …

In many lichen-forming fungi, molecular phylogenetic analyses lead to the discovery of
cryptic species within traditional morphospecies. However, in some cases, molecular …

Apart from viruses and bacteria, cyanobacteria and microalgae present in the atmosphere
may pose a threat to the health of humans by inducing illnesses and diseases. Yet, they play …

Usnic acid is an antibiotic metabolite produced by a wide variety of lichenized fungal
lineages. The enantiomers of usnic acid have been shown to display contrasting …

There are various protection mechanisms developed by living beings in response to the
environmental stress conditions they encounter in their natural habitats. Many animals …

Allelopathic compounds produced by cyanobacteria may play important roles in the
dynamics of several biological systems. The main goal of this work was to investigate …

Large phylogeographic studies on lichens are scarce, and none involves a single species
within which different lineages show fixed alternative dispersal strategies. We investigated …

In order to confirm and investigate the extent of reported mismatches between chemotypes
and molecular sequence data in Bryoria fuscescens s. lat., we examined 15 morphologically …

Lichens and bryophytes are cosmopolitan organisms found in diverse environments with
varying sunlight availability. However, excessive light can be a stress factor for both lichens …
