Secondary Chemistry of Lichen-forming Fungi: Chemosyndromic Variation and DNA-analyses of Cultures and Chemotypes in the Ramalina farinacea Complex

Abstract

The Ramalina farinacea (L.) Ach. complex has a world-wide distribution. The thalli are highly variable both morphologically and chemically, with various β-orcinol depsidones being produced as secondary medullary compounds. In the present study a new, ra
