Article Synopsis
- Earth’s rising temperatures due to human activities and solar changes threaten biodiversity, with lichens being particularly sensitive to these climate shifts.
- The study investigates how temperature variations affect lichens by focusing on ergosterol (ERG) and the enzyme involved in its production, squalene epoxidase, highlighting gaps in understanding its regulation during stress.
- Results show that extreme temperatures adversely impact lichen physiology, with significant changes in respiration and membrane integrity at +40 °C and -20 °C, leading to increased expression of certain genes related to sterols and heat stress proteins.
Melanin is a dark pigment from the group of phenolic or indole polymers with inherent biocompatibility and antioxidant capacity. In extremophilic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria, melanin is responsible for protective properties against hostile environments. Herein, the ability of melanin extracted from L.

Without reliable, fast, and cost-effective detection methods for HAdVs, patients may be misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. To address this problem, we have developed a multiplex loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the detection of the species (HAdV-B), (HAdV-C) and (HAdV-E) that cause RTIs.

Maintaining viability with an almost complete loss of water and the rapid restoration of metabolism during rehydration distinguishes lichens from most eukaryotic organisms. The lichen is known to have high stress tolerance, possessing diverse defense mechanisms, including the presence of the bright-orange pigment parietin.

Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
February 2020
The aim of this study was to assess which Mycoplasma pneumoniae genotypes were present in Moscow during the years 2015-2018 and whether the proportion between detected genotypes changed over time. We were also interested in the presence of macrolide resistance (MR)Mycoplasma pneumoniae. We performed multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA), SNP typing, and mutation typing in the 23S rRNA gene from 117 M.
