Lichens are symbiotic organisms consisting of algae and fungal hyphae.

Lichens are photophilous, water-loving, undemanding to the substrate, sensitive to air pollution - biological indicators of air purity.

Lichens grow very slowly - growth per year for cortical - 1-8 mm, for bushy - 1-35 mm.

  • Yagel grows very slowly: a few millimeters per year.
  • Therefore, the same tundra pasture cannot be used for several years in a row - it is no coincidence that the Sami roamed with their herds throughout the region.
  • If deer eat the whole moss moss, then it takes quite a long time to restore the lichen cover - up to 15 years

Deer looking for reindeer moss in winter


“Does a water cliff protrude from the waves of the ocean, does a piece of rock break off, revealing a fresh, unweathered fracture, does a boulder break, which has lain underground for centuries, everywhere on a bare barren surface the lichen is the first to appear , decomposing the rock, turning it into fertile soil.

The Bible tells of a people who wandered through the desert for many days, knee-deep, drowning in the sand. All supplies taken with them were eaten. Many fell from exhaustion and exhaustion on the hot sand.

In the morning, when the sun began to heat up the sand, the wind suddenly rose. Everyone saw gray lumps rolling along the sand, driven by the wind. A strong gust of wind lifted them up, it seemed that they were falling from the sky.

"Manna, manna! Manna is falling from the sky!” Everyone who could still rushed to collect this "manna". They eagerly ate dry gray lumps, cooked porridge from them and baked cakes.

  • What do you think this manna really was?

In 1772, the Russian scientist P.S. Pallas proved that it was an edible lichen that is carried by the wind over the vast expanses of Africa and Asia Minor.

Lichen - benefit or harm to a tree?

slide 1

Lichens

Lichens are usually considered separately from fungi, although they belong to them, being a specialized group. They are quite diverse in appearance and coloration and number 26,000 species united in more than 400 genera. Lichens are an example of an obligate symbiosis of fungi with algae. According to the nature of sexual intercourse, lichens are classified into two classes: marsupials (reproduce by spores that ripen in bags), which include almost all varieties of lichens, and basidial (spores mature in basidia), numbering only a few dozen species.

slide 2

Lichen structure

Most lichens consist of a dense bark formed by hyphae, in which there are pores necessary for respiration. The bark allows moisture to be absorbed from the air and protects the lichen from hypothermia or overheating. Under the bark, the hyphae are looser, with algae cells (blue-green, yellow-green or green) located between them. Usually, each type of lichen has its own type of algae. Usually photobiont cells are concentrated along the periphery - closer to the light - forming a photosynthetic layer.

Diversity of lichens

slide 4

crustose lichens

According to the structure of the body (thallus), scale (crustal), leafy and bushy lichens are distinguished. The vegetative body of scale lichens is the most primitive, it can be granular, porous or in the form of crusts.

slide 5

foliose lichens

More developed are foliose lichens, which look like more or less dissected plates.

slide 6

fruticose lichens

Bushy lichens are highly organized, having the appearance of bushes, hanging threads or upright outgrowths.

Slide 7

Lichen reproduction

Reproduction of lichens is carried out by sexual and asexual (vegetative) methods. As a result of the sexual process, spores of the lichen fungus are formed, which develop in closed fruiting bodies - perithecia, having a narrow outlet at the top, or in apothecia, wide open to the bottom. Germinated spores, having met an alga corresponding to their species, form a new thallus with it. Vegetative propagation consists in the regeneration of the thallus from its small sections (debris, twigs). Many lichens have special outgrowths - isidia, which easily break off and give rise to a new thallus. In other lichens, tiny granules (soredia) are formed in which algae cells are surrounded by a dense accumulation of hyphae; these granules are easily carried by the wind.

Slide 8

Lichen species

Lichens grow on soil (epigean), stones (epilitic) or tree trunks (epiphytic), receiving the moisture necessary for life from the atmosphere. Some species live in the sea littoral. Settling for the first time in barren places, lichens form humus when they die, on which other plants can then settle.

Slide 9

Lichen cultivation

Lichens have even been found in the barren Arctic deserts and within the Antarctic rocks. Lichens are distributed throughout the world, but are especially diverse in the tropics, highlands and tundra. But in laboratories, lichens die quite quickly. And only in 1980, American scientists managed to “combine” an algae and a fungus grown from a spore.

Slide 10

Lichens are a source of food

Lichens are perennial organisms. They accumulate polysaccharides and fatty acids. Some substances are unpleasant in taste and smell, others are eaten by animals, others are used in perfumery or the chemical industry. Some lichens are raw materials for the manufacture of paint and litmus.

slide 11

Lichens as bioindicators

Lichens are bioindicator organisms. They grow only in ecologically clean places, so you will not find them in big cities and industrial zones.

Tundra plants are the basis of animal and human life. Even lichens are eaten. Moss lichen, or reindeer moss. This is one of our largest lichens, its height reaches 1015 cm. The plant resembles a fancy tree; it has a thick “trunk” and thin “branches”. Towards the ends they become thinner and thinner. If you put several of these plants side by side on black paper, you get a beautiful white lace.




When wet, reindeer moss is soft and elastic. But after drying, it becomes brittle. At the slightest touch, pieces break off from the lichen. With the help of such debris, the reindeer moss breeds. Yagel grows slowly. It increases in height by only a few millimeters per year. REINDEER MOSS


Yagel has many talents. Nobody notices him, but he does his job: he covers the roots of other plants, feeds the reindeer and their owners. Residents use reindeer moss for food, cook jellied meat from it. They say that boiled in milk, it resembles mushrooms. In times of famine, reindeer moss was added to bread. And when there were no refrigerators, meat was covered with lichen so that it would not spoil, and it was stored for a long time. European healers used to treat consumption and whooping cough with a decoction of reindeer moss, and later they forgot about it. Scientists have recently become interested in lichen. They managed to isolate usnic acid, an antibiotic, from it. It kills bacteria, and can even kill TB without harming the intestines. It is interesting that deer unmistakably find it by smell even in winter under a layer of snow.

The purpose of the lesson: to study the systematic position, structural features, nutrition, reproduction, significance and ecology of lichens as symbiotic organisms. Attention! Basic concepts: symbiosis, thallus (thallus), fruticose, foliose, scale lichens, lichenology, lichenologist.

2 slide

Lichens are symbiotic representatives of the fungi kingdom. The science of lichens is lichenology, a lichenologist is a person who studies lichens. The internal structure of lichens: lichens are symbiotic organisms, their body consists of algae and fungus. The body or thallus is represented by intertwining fungal filaments and single-celled green or blue-green algae. Suction cups are sometimes formed on mushroom threads, which penetrate into the algae.

3 slide

Lichen nutrition: fungus filaments absorb water and minerals dissolved in it. Green algae cells in the light in the process of photosynthesis form organic substances. Lichens absorb the moisture of rains and fogs over the entire surface of the body. On hot days, they dry out so much that they seem completely lifeless, but as soon as the rain passes, they come to life again. Reproduction of lichens. Lichens reproduce mainly by pieces of the thallus, as well as by specialized cells that form inside the thallus and break it, going outside.
