Abstract
Column and thin‐layer chromatography revealed the presence of the following carotenoids in the thalli of 21 lichen species from Australia: α‐carotene, β‐carotene, rubixanthin, β‐cryptoxanthin, lutein, 3′‐epilutein, zeaxanthin, echinenone, 3′‐hydroxyechinenone, adonixanthin, phoenicoxanthin, α‐doradexanthin, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, neoxanthin, violaxanthin, β‐carotene epoxide, lutein epoxide, antheraxanthin, cryptoflavin, mutatoxanthin, rhodoxanthin and β‐apo‐8′‐carotenal. The total content of carotenoids ranged from 10.50 μg g−1 dry wt in Flavoparmelia haysomii to 21.23 μg g−1 dry wt in Flavoparmelia springtonensis.
