Abstract
The quantitative distribution of 5 lichen acids, including fumarprotocetraric acid, in 7 specimens of Australian scyphose Cladonia spp. was determined by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography, using butylated hydroxytoluene as the internal standard. The highest concentrations of lichen acids were found in the scyphi and this localized distribution of lichen acids may be due to repeated upward capillary flow of saturated solutions of the acids in the podetia followed by evaporation in the upper parts of the podetia.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
