Identification of some lichenized fungi species of Erciyes Mountain Kayseri/Turkey by using ITS rDNA marker

Abstract

In this study; we analysed the ITS sequences of 9 lichenized fungi species Aspicilia cinerea, Circinaria contorta, Lecidea atrobrunnea, Lecanora rupicola, Physcia dubia, Rhizoplaca peltata, Rhizocarpon geographicum, Tephromela atra and Xanthoparmelia pulla which have a wide distribution in the alpine zone of Erciyes Volcanic Mountain in Central Anatolia. ITS sequence data obtained from those 9 species are deposited by us in GenBank for further molecular studies and Neighbor-joining dendrograms with related species obtained from GenBank are also presented here along with the macroscopic photographs of the specimens studied. Besides, morphological and ecological differences between the related species are discussed

ITS rDNA marker kullanılarak Erciyes Dağı’nın Kayseri, Türkiye bazı likenleşmiş mantar türlerinin tanımlanması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Orta Anadolu’da yer alan Erciyes Dağı’nın alpin zonunda yayılış gösteren 9 yaygın likenleşmiş mantar türüne ait örneklerin Aspicilia cinerea, Circinaria contorta, Lecidea atrobrunnea, Lecanora rupicola, Physcia dubia, Rhizoplaca peltata, Rhizocarpon geographicum, Tephromela atra ve Xanthoparmelia pulla ITS dizi analizleri elde edilmiştir. Bu 9 türden elde edilen ITS sekans verileri ileride yapılacak moleküler çalışmalar da kullanılması için Gen Bankası’na yüklenmiştir. Ayrıca Gen Bankası’ndan temin edilen ilişkili türler ile hazırlanan Neighbor-joining dendrogramlar ve çalışılan örneklere ait makroskobik fotoğraflar da verilmiştir. Ayrıca ilişkili türler arasında morfolojik ve ekolojik farklılıklar da tartışılmıştır
