Ciri dan struktur
Diploicia canescens is a crustose lichen with lobed margins, a growth type known as "placodioid". It grows in rosettes up to 6 cm across. The thallus, which can range in color from white to very pale gray, is typically darker in the center and very white-pruinose on the marginal lobes. These lobes are convex, becoming wider at the tips – up to 1 mm wide. The center of the thallus is generally covered with soralia, which are flour-like and pale to slightly yellow in color. The photobiont of D. canescens is a green algae (chlorococcoid). Like many lichens, D. canescens disperses primarily by means of symbiotic vegetative propagules; most are covered with extensive mats of soralia. Apothecia are rare, but where they occur are black, lecideine (meaning that they have no thalline margin), and measure 0.3–1 mm in diameter. Each ascus contains eight spores. Each spore is brown with a cell wall (called a septum) that divides it into two cells; it measures 10–15 μm x 5–8 μm. Observations in Ireland found apothecia only between the months of August and December. The production of spores increased over that time period, with peak germination occurring in October and November.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Diploicia canescens has been found on every continent but Antarctica, though it is less common on some continents than others. It was only added to the North American list in 1984; previous records actually referred to a different species. Unlike some lichens, D. canescens occurs in abundance on both calcareous and siliceous substrates. It occurs on rocks, old walls, and tree trunks, favoring nutrient-enriched areas, such as birds' perching stones. In Nepal, Diploicia canescens has been reported at 4,650 m elevation in a compilation of published records; this reported range lies above the tree line used in the study. Diploicia canescens contains various chemical compounds including depsidones (such as diploicin and scensidin), depsides (atranorin and chloroatranorin), phthalides (buellolide and canesolide), dechlorodiploicin, isofulgidin, and minor or trace amounts of dechloro-O-methyldiploicin and secalonic acids A, B, C. Derivatives of diploicin have been shown, in vitro, to be active against bacterial species including Mycobacterium smegmatis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae (mitis), and M. tuberculosis. The overall status of D. canescens has not been evaluated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
