Abstract

Lichen is a symbiotic organism consisting of a photobiont (green algae or cyanobacterium) and a mycobiont (fungal). A taxonomic study of the crustose lichens in the forest of TAHURA R. Soeryohad been conducted based on morphological, anatomical, and chemical characters. In this research, we used the method of descriptive exploration to identify the crustose lichens and to study the distribution of the species in the forest of TAHURA R. Soeryo. Twenty species of crustose lichens with one unidentified species and one specimen identified to the group of family are reported. They are Graphina, Graphis, Phaeographis, Pertusaria, Pachyphiale, Phlyctis, Lepraria, Lecanora, Lecania, Cyphellium, and Megalospora. This research also found the new record species of Megalospora kalbii in Java. Crustose lichens are found in the areas with high light intensity of ≥ 1000 lux, average humidity of ≤ 90%, average temperature of18-190C, and at altitudes of ±1640 dpl. Graphina ruiziana could only be found at the altitude of ± 1780 dpl. The identification key to its species and distributions of other species are presented also in the article.

Abstract

Research into local community knowledge is very important to provide medicinal plant data and can be used as a basis for further research. Usnea is a genus of lichen that is used by Indonesian people in traditional medicine. The people knows Usnea  as Kayu Angin.  The aim of this study was to record the use of the species of the genus Usnea as traditional herbal medicines in Jakarta’s  tradisional market.  The study was a part of a project called Hibah Dosen Pemula (PDP) RISTEKDIKTI. Respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire . Data were descriptively analyzed based on exploration results and interviews with respondents. The result showed 14 species of Usnea  had been founded and were used to treat  different ailments. The collection of data and information about the use of Usnea in Jakarta’s  tradisional market was firstly recorded and expected could be enriched Usnea data from Java.

Abstract

Lichen of the genus Usnea is quite common being used as a traditional herbal remedy. This genus is characterized by thallus, which is very similar among the species, leads to some difficulties in distinguishing them. In Indonesia, such research report on the availability of this genus based on their morphological characteristic is minimal. This might be due to too high morphological similarities among them. The molecular character, which is based on the DNA Barcode of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences, with its conserved region (5.8S) and varied region (ITS1 and ITS2), are becoming essential characters on identifying as well as analyzing the phylogenetic. The current study then proposed to identify and draw the species dendrogram of species within the Usnea genus obtained from Mount Lawu Forest of Central Java and Turgo Forest of Yogyakarta based on their phylogenetic and phenetic analysis. The dendrogram was constructed with UPGMA using the simple matching coefficient, whereas the phylogenetic tree was constructed with Maximum Likelihood (ML) using Kimura-2 parameter with 1000 bootstrap. The data were unable to draw phenetic relationships among the subgenus Usnea and Eumitria members. The phylogenetic tree shows the primary two clades, distinguishing the subgenus Usnea and Eumitria. The ITS rDNA sequence was able to identify most of the Usnea species.

Abstract

A taxonomic study of the fructicose lichens in the forest of Tahura (Taman Hutan Raya) R. Soeryo had been conducted based on morphological, anatomical and chemical characters. In this research involved a method of descriptive explorative and the aim of this research is to identify and determine of fructicose lichens in the forest of Tahura R. Soeryo. Eleven species of fructicose lichen are reported for the firt time from the forest of Tahura R. Soeryo. They are Evernia prunastri, Ramalina calicaris, Teloschistes flavicans U. glabrescens, , U. subfloridana, U. Ceratina, U. floridana,U. hirta and three species were found as new records in Java are Usnea esperantiana, U. flammea, and U. strigosa . Taxonomic descriptions and figures are presented in the articel.

Abstract

Usnea is a genus of lichen used as a traditional medicine in the form of herbal medicine. The people of Bogor know Usnea as kayu angin, antanan, and cecenetan. Usnea used in herbal medicine is often considered only one species, even though there are many different species. Information about the traditional use of Usnea is essential to increase the widespread use of natural resources. This study purposed to determine the types of Usnea and their use as traditional medicine by the people of Bogor city. A total of 30 respondents were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires and personal interviews. Data were analyzed descriptively based on the results of exploration and interviews with respondents. The results showed that six species of Usnea had been used for treatment, including U. intermedia, U. esperantiana, U. hesperina, U. pectinata, U. fragilescens, and U. baileyi. Usnea is used for health herbs, after childbirth, colds, gout, and herbal mixtures in all medications

Abstract

Lichen is a symbiotic organism consisting of algae (photobionts) and fungi (mycobiont). In Indonesia, Usnea is the only genus of lichen that has been widely recognized and used by the local community for traditional medicine. It is locally known as kayu angin, rusuk angin, or janggot Kai. Furthermore, it produces lichen acid and other compounds as secondary metabolites that need investigation. Therefore, this study aimed to identify species and determine the secondary metabolites of Usnea in West Java. There were 13 species of Usnea identified, with U. rubrotincta, U. mutabilis, and U. barbata being new to West Java. The extraction of U. esperantiana has the highest number of lichen acids, with 20 different types identified. This study showed that Usnea contains lichen acid, flavonoid, and saponin compounds. The secondary metabolites are a potential source of natural products for bioprospecting.
