A list of 62 taxa (61 species) of lichens and 7 species of lichenicolous fungi from the Una National Park in the north-western part of Bosnia and Herzegovina is presented. The lichens Caloplaca crenulatella, Dimerella pineti, Lecanora expallens, Lopadium disciforme, Placynthiella icmalea, Toninia athallina and the lichenicolous fungi Abrothallus bertianus, A. parmeliarum, Cornutispora lichenico...

The draft genome sequence of Methylophaga muralis strain Bur 1 (VKM B-3046T), a non-methane-utilizing methylotroph isolated from a soda lake, is reported here. Strain Bur 1 possesses genes for methanol and methylamine (methylamine dehydrogenase and N-methylglutamate pathway) oxidation. Genes for the biosynthesis of ectoine were also found.

The Norwegian lichen species Lecanora (Aspicilia) Myrinii has been chemically investigated with regard to its content of aromatic lichen compounds, hydroxy fatty acids, soluble and bound sugars, and amino acids. Norstictic acid and a tetrahydroxy fatty acid have been isolated. In addition to these two compounds, free galactose, glucose, mannose, sucrose, fructose and 33 ninhydrin-positive compo...

489–497). Three papers utilize molecular phylogenetic approaches to systematics. Traditional groupings and most species of Physconia are confirmed as distinct, although doubt is shed on the monophylly of two species pairs (pp. 498–505). The Lecanora rupicola group is shown to be distinct from Lecanora s. str., with the species containing sordidone as well as having pruinose apothecial discs (pp...
