Identification of some lichenized fungi species around Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (Gülnar, İçel)

Abstract

In this study, some lichenized fungi species near the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant located in the Gulnar district of Mersin province in Türkiye have been identified. Detailed descriptions, photographs, and phylogenetic analyses of the nine lichenized fungi species collected by the second author are given: Kuettlingeria erythrocarpa (Pers.) I.V. Frolov, Vondrák & Arup, Circinaria calcarea (L.) A. Nordin, Savić & Tibell, Flavoplaca communis (Vondrák, Říha, Arup & Søchting) Arup, Søchting & Frödén, Flavoplaca havaasii (H. Magn.) Arup, Frödén & Søchting, Lecania rabenhorstii (Hepp) Arnold, Lobothallia radiosa (Hoffm.) Hafellner, Megaspora verrucosa (Ach.) Arcadia & A. Nordin, Physcia stellaris (L.) Nyl. and Xanthocarpia marmorata (Bagl.) Frödén, Arup & Søchting. Key words: Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, biodiversity, nrITS, lichenized fungi
