Abstract
Abstract. Bacidia depriestiana is described as new to science based on material from the southern Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America. The species has a granular to minutely areolate thallus, with minute, erumpent soralia, produces atranorin and zeorin, and is not known to produce apothecia. The combination of chemistry and thallus type appears to be unique within the genus. Originally identified as Lecanora nothocaesiella, the species was recognized as distinct in conjunction with study of a large metagenomic dataset for lichens from the region. In connection with obtaining molecular loci use for phylogenetic placement of the material, the mitochondrial genome was assembled, found to be 38,546 bp in length, and encoded for the full suite of protein coding genes previously found in lichen fungi, with the exception of atp9.
期刊介绍:
The Bryologist is an international journal devoted to all aspects of bryology and lichenology, and we welcome reviews, research papers and short communications from all members of American Bryological and Lichenological Society (ABLS). We also publish lists of current literature, book reviews and news items about members and event. All back issues of the journal are maintained electronically. The first issue of The Bryologist was published in 1898, with the formation of the Society.
Author instructions are available from the journal website and the manuscript submission site, each of which is listed at the ABLS.org website.
All submissions to the journal are subject to at least two peer reviews, and both the reviews and the identities of reviewers are treated confidentially. Reviewers are asked to acknowledge possible conflicts of interest and to provide strictly objective assessments of the suitability and scholarly merit of the submissions under review.
