Loxospora

	Loxospora ''Loxospora'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Sarrameanaceae. It has 13 species. The genus was circumscribed by Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1852, with '' Loxospora elatina'' assigned as the type species. This crustose lichen was originally named ''Lecanora elatina'' by Erik Acharius in 1810.

	Loxospora Cristinae ''Loxospora cristinae'' is a fungal species classified in 2018, found in a few European countries. It belongs to the division Ascomycota and the family Sarrameanaceae. It was first identified and described in the 19th century, but the species would not be correctly classified until almost two centuries later. ''Loxospora cristinae'' is a sterile crustose lichen, meaning it reproduces by a type of vegetative spore that has evolved specifically to produce morphological structures. Taxonomy ''Loxospora cristinae'' was first classified by Swiss biologist Anton Gisler in the 1800s in central Switzerland. In the mid-1900s, its presence was documented in several other regions of Switzerland. Then in 1989, it was documented in the Swiss forest Meriwald. In 1991, it was incorrectly classified as ''Lecidella alba'', a rim lichen that has roughly circular fruiting discs. Shortly after in 1992, the species was examined by more experienced lichenologists, but a conclusive classification coul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Loxospora Ochrophaea ''Loxospora ochrophaea'' is a species of crustose lichen in the family Sarrameanaceae. Taxonomy It was first described scientifically by American lichenologist Edward Tuckerman in 1848 as ''Biatora ochrophaea''. It has been shuffled to various genera in its taxonomic history, including '' Lecanora'', ''Haematomma'', and ''Lecania''. Richard Harris proposed a transfer to ''Loxospora'' in 1990. Description ''Loxospora ochrophaea'' has a crust-like thallus that is light gray to green with a warty texture. It has peach-coloured apothecia that have a white margin. The lichen contains thamnolic acid and zeorin as secondary compounds Secondary metabolites, also called specialised metabolites, toxins, secondary products, or natural products, are organic compounds produced by any lifeform, e.g. bacteria, fungi, animals, or plants, which are not directly involved in the norma ....

	Loxospora Septata ''Loxospora septata'' is a species of crustose lichen in the family Sarrameanaceae. It was first formally described as a new species in 1991 by Harrie Sipman and André Aptroot as ''Sarrameana septata'' The type was collected in Mt. Gahavisuki Provincial Park, in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. Here it was found growing on bark at an altitude of . Gintaras Kantvilas transferred the taxon to ''Loxospora'' in 2000, as he thought several characteristics of the lichen made it a better fit for this genus. These include: the presence of thamnolic acid in the thallus, the structure of the apothecia, the sparse branching of the paraphyses, and the absence of oil droplets in the hymenium The hymenium is the tissue layer on the hymenophore of a fungal fruiting body where the cells develop into basidia or asci, which produce spores. In some species all of the cells of the hymenium develop into basidia or asci, while in others som .... References Lecanoromycet ...

	Loxospora Isidiata ''Loxospora isidiata'' is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Sarrameanaceae. Found in the Philippines, it was formally described as a new species in 1992 by lichenologist Klaus Kalb. It is similar in morphology to '' Loxospora ochrophaeae'', but differs by having a thallus with (nipple-shaped) isidia, measuring 0.1 by 0.3 mm; the species epithet refers to this prominent feature. The type specimen was collected by the author in 1983 from Benguet (Northern Luzon) at an altitude of , where it was found growing on a pine A pine is any conifer tree or shrub in the genus ''Pinus'' () of the family (biology), family Pinaceae.
