Temporal variation in usnic acid concentration in Usnea aurantiaco-atra in Antarctica
Entry ID: 110-88_01

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: In Usnea aurantiaco-atra, growing in the Antarctica, a monthly variation in the
usnic acid content, in individual thalli, was studied by means of scanning
densitometry (HPTLC). The higher accumulation rates were quantified from
January to May; there was a significant decrease in the concentrations from
June to December, during the three years of study. In spite of the thalli were
taken from a same location, variations could be observed in the usnic acid
concentration in the individuals from within each monthly sample.

Quality Mats of Usnea aurantiaco-atra, growing in an open space, were collected monthly
-when possible- in the area of Baliza Poisson, Arturo Prat Base, and Greenwich
Island from February 1987 to December 1989. The lichenic material was dried at
room temperature and was packed until it was taken to the laboratory. Fifteen
