Diverzita fotobiontů ve stélkách lišejníku Psora decipiens / Photobiont diversity in lichen thallus Psora decipiens

Psora decipiens is a characteristic species of the terricolous lichen community Toninio-Psoretum decipientis distributed mostly on calcareous or basic substrates. The community consists in various modifications of lichens Placidium squamulosum, Toninia sedifolia, T. opuntioides, Fulgensia fulgens, F. bracteata and others. Photobionts of the lichen Psora decipiens were determined. Psora decipiens shared with Placidium sp. the single photobiont species, a common terrestrial alga Myrmecia israeliensis. Cloning of ITS rDNA revealed high intrathalline variability in M. israeliensis within a single lichen thallus. Several genotypes were often found in a thallus, uncovering either a high mutation rate of the algae or constant relichenization processes. Saxicolous Psora species (P. testacea, P. himalayana, P. valesiaca and P. rubiformis) had M. biatorellae as a photobiont, indicating a possible photobiont influence on substrate specifity of Psora lichens. Finally, the proper methodology used for identification of lichen photobionts is discussed. For a correct photobiont identification, morphological investigations of intrathaline diversity combined with coherent molecular techniques are needed. Such procedure was not applied in the former studies of Psora decipiens, resulting in a poor characterization of...
