They are effective carbon storage and anti-freezing substances. Natural levels of polyols in lichens are species-specific and vary within 1.4-8.8 mg.g-1 DW (ribitol), 0.4-29.0 mg.g-1 (mannitol). In our study, we tested positive effects of extrenally added ribitol on primary photosynthetic processes at low/freezing temperature and evaluated interspecific differences between 3 fruticose species (Cetraria islandica, Cetraria nivalis, Cetrariella delisei collected in Southern Norway and single foliose lichen collected in Svalbard. Lichen thalli were exposed to ribitol concentrations of 0 (control), 16, 32, 40, 50 mM for 168 h at 0 deg C and two subzero temperatures. The chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (potential yield of photochemical processes in photosystem II (FV/FM), effective quantum yield in PS II (Yield), and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) were monitored in 24-h intervals using a chlorophyll fluorescence imaging (Handy Fluor Cam, HFC-010, PSI, CZ). Contents of polyols and other non-structural saccharides (NSS) were evaluated before and after the treatment by a HPLC. Contents of chlorophyll a, b, and total carotenoids were measured by a spectrophotometer (Spekord, Germany). The results indicated importance of polyols in antifreezing tolerance of lichens since positive affect of ribitol addition was apparent at freezing temperature. Funded by the GAAV KJB601630808.
