Biology:Byssoloma
Byssoloma is a genus of leaf-dwelling lichens in the family Pilocarpaceae.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed by the Italian botanist Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon in 1853.[2]
Description
Species in genus Byssoloma form crustose, effuse (spreading) lichens that lack a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (outer protective layer). Their [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], or photosynthetic partner, is of the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] type, a form of green algae.[3]
The apothecia (fruiting bodies), are [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (directly attached to the thallus without a stalk) and approximately circular in shape. They lack a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (a rim formed by the lichen thallus) and possess a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], which is a layer of loosely arranged hyphae that can appear hairy or web-like ([[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]-[[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]) in some species. The hymenium, the spore-bearing tissue, reacts with iodine to turn blue (I+ blue). The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], consisting of paraphyses (filamentous support structures), is unbranched or slightly branched and not or only slightly thickened at the tips.[3]
The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], a layer beneath the hymenium, is dark red-brown and may turn purple when treated with potassium hydroxide (K) solution in European species. The asci, which are the sac-like structures where spores develop, typically contain eight spores. They have thick walls and a blue-staining apical dome with a darker blue tubular ring structure and an amyloid (starch-like) gelatinous coat.[3]
The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are three-septate (having three internal partitions), colourless, and found in European species. Asexual reproductive structures, the pycnidia, are also sessile and roughly spherical, usually covered by a layer of loosely interwoven hyphae. The conidiophores (spore-producing cells) are unbranched, forming flask-shaped, [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (rod-like), or ellipsoidal conidia (asexual spores) that are constricted in the middle.[3]
Chemically, argopsin, a secondary metabolite (lichen product), is sometimes detected in one species, but otherwise, Byssoloma lacks lichen products.[3]
