Characterization of active and total fungal communities in the atmosphere over the Amazon rainforest (2015, background): “Lichens are often the dominant life forms in environments that have conditions similar to those found in the atmosphere, including low water (Kranner et al., 2008) and nutrient availability, wide temperature variations, and high UV irradiance (e.g. Solhaug et al., 2003; Onofri et al., 2004).”
15 The Symbiotic Phenotype of Lichen-Forming Ascomycetes and Their Endo- and Epibionts (2012, background): “2012; for reviews, see Purvis and Pawlik-Skowrońska 2008), and (3) absorption of UV-B light, secondary product biosynthesis being enhanced by seasonally or experimentally elevated UV-B irradiation (Bjerke et al. 2002, 2005; Buffoni Hall et al. 2002; Solhaug et al. 2003; Huneck et al. 2004; Nybakken ”
2 Opportunistic Growth and Desiccation Tolerance: The Ecological Success of Poikilohydrous Autotrophs (2007, background): “Moreover, UV B (280–320 nm) was shown to be an essential requisite for the synthesis of sun-screening pigments (parietin, melanin) in lichens (Solhaug et al. 2003).”
Photoinhibition in lichens depends on cortical characteristics and hydration (2004, background): “The acetone rinsing did not adversely affect important physiological processes in the mycobiont or the photobiont (Solhaug et al. 2003; Solhaug & Gauslaa 2004); in X. parietina, FV/FM values were slightly but significantly higher after extraction (see Fig.”
UV triggers the synthesis of the widely distributed secondary lichen compound usnic acid (2006, methodology): “All thalli were hydrated at dusk each day during the 3week experimental period, as in a field induction study of parietin and melanic compounds (Solhaug et al. 2003).”
Ecology of Central European Forests: Vegetation Ecology of Central Europe, Volume I (2017, background): “usnic acid, parietin or derivatives of pulvinic acid) or melanin, which protects them from excessive radiation in the UV and PAR spectra (Rikkinen 1995; Solhaug and Gauslaa 1996; Solhaug et al. 2003).”
Viability of the lichen Xanthoria elegans and its symbionts after 18 months of space exposure and simulated Mars conditions on the ISS (2014, background): “The production of the screening secondary lichen metabolites can be enhanced in the symbiotic state (Brunauer & Stocker-Wörgötter 2005) and the amount of parietin produced has been described to be effected byUV-B in lichens colonizing irradiated sites (Solhaug et al. 2003; Nybakken et al. 2004).”
