Ciri dan struktur

Cryptothecia rubrocincta is a crustose lichen, because it grows in the form of a surface crust. The thallus, or body of the lichen is spread out flat and can be either tightly to loosely attached to the growing surface. It is 0.15–0.30 mm thick, and can be smooth, or have low radiating ridges. The older, central region of the lichen surface has many reproductive structures called isidia; they resemble granules that are 0.1–0.4 by 0.1 mm. The species relies entirely on vegetative means to reproduce, and is not known to have any sexual structures. From the center outwards, three color zones can be differentiated in mature specimens; the first grayish-green, the second white, and finally a bright red cottony rim. The lichen has a distinct prothallus—fibers of whitish fungal hyphae at the edge that lack photobiont, and which project beyond the thallus onto the growing surface. The prothallus is red to whitish in the inner part, red the in outer part. The surface of the thallus does not have a well-defined cortex, an outer layer of well-packed hyphae. The medulla (a loosely arranged layer of hyphae below the cortex and photobiont zone) is whitish but the lower part is red. It has few to many calcium oxalate crystals that are 3–8 μm diameter. The hyphae of the medulla have many such crystals on the walls, that are 1–2 μm in diameter. The algal photobiont (technically a phycobiont, as it is a green algal photosynthetic partner) is from the genus Trentepohlia. Normally, the algae is long and filamentous; when in the lichen state, it is divided into shorter filaments. The alga has a large chloroplast that contains droplets of beta-carotene.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

Lichen ini tersebar luas di Amerika Serikat tenggara; di 1954 batas utara distribusi diberikan sebagai garis melewati Louisiana selatan, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Although the batas utara diperpanjang ke selatan Delaware, penulis kemudian merevisi pendapatnya, dan batas utara dianggap sebagai North Carolina. Di Carolina Utara, ditemukan di Pulau Smith, lokasi yang menonjol karena mewakili batas utara distribusi kelapa palmetto (Sabal palmetto). Kehadiran pohon 6 meter (20 kaki ini yang berjarak antara spesies pohon dominan Quercus virginiana memberikan pulau ini penampilan subtropis ⁇ bersesuaian dengan iklim yang disukai lichen. Cryptothecia rubrocincta juga tersebar luas di daerah tropis dan subtropis di Amerika Selatan Barat Indies and Central and. Di Selatan America it ditemukan di utara Chile and Argentina. Hal ini lebih jarang terjadi di Afrika, karena hanya dikumpulkan dari tiga wilayah pegunungan yang secara geografis terpisah secara luas: São Tomé dan Príncipe, Tanzania, dan DR Kongo. Lilin dapat ditemukan di ketinggian mulai dari permukaan laut sampai 2600 m (di Kolombia). Lilin biasanya tumbuh di kulit kasar di habitat yang terlindung dan berbayar di hutan subtropis yang lembab dan padat.

Ringkasan sumber

Cryptothecia rubrocincta is a species of lichen in the fungal family Arthoniaceae. The species is distributed in subtropical and tropical locations throughout the southeastern United States, as well as Central and South America, and has been collected infrequently in a few locales in Africa. The body of the lichen forms continuous, circular crust-like patches on dead wood, readily recognizable by the prominent red pigment. The older, central region is covered with red, spherical to cylindrical granules.

Ekologi sumber

The lichen is widely distributed in the southeastern United States; in 1954 the north border of its distribution was given as a line passing through southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Although the northern limit was extended to southern Delaware, the author later revised his opinion, and the northern limit is thought to be North Carolina. In North Carolina, it is found on Smith Island, a notable location because it represents the northern limit of the distribution of cabbage palmetto (Sabal palmetto). The presence of this 6 meter (20 ft) tree interspersed among the dominant tree species Quercus virginiana give the island a subtropical appearance—consistent with the lichen's preferred climate. Cryptothecia rubrocincta is also widespread in tropical and subtropical areas of the West Indies and Central and South America. In South America it is found north of Chile and Argentina. It is rarer in Africa, having only been collected from three geographically widely separated mountain regions: São Tomé and Príncipe, Tanzania, and DR Congo. The lichen may be found at altitudes ranging from sea level to 2600 m (in Colombia). The lichen typically grows on rough bark in sheltered and shaded habitats in moist and dense subtropical forests.
