1. Bucklandiella crispipila (Taylor) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra Contributors: H. Bednarek-Ochyra and R. Ochyra Papua New Guinea: Milne Bay District, Raba Raba Subdistrict, Goë, 9u429S, 149u029E, 3460 m a.s.l., on rock, 5 July 1972, leg. P. F. Stevens & J. F. Veldkamp LAE 54438 (BM). Hitherto Bucklandiella crispipila has been considered an Afro-American tropical montane species, widely distributed but scattered in Central (Frisvoll, 1988; Allen, 2002) and South America (Bednarek-Ochyra, Ochyra & Buck, 1999) and in the East African mountains (Ochyra, 1993). The discovery of the species at an altimontane elevation in New Guinea represents a considerable extension of its range, and consequently the phytogeographical status of B. crispipila has to be redefined as pan-tropical montane. After B. subsecunda (Hook. & Grev.) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra and B. emersa (Müll.Hal.) Bednarek-Ochyra & Ochyra, it is the third species of the genus occurring in Malesia.

Chemical composition, antimicrobial, antioxidant and anthocyanin activities of mosses (Cinclidotus fontinaloides (Hedw.) P.Beauv. and Palustriella commutata (Hedw.) Ochyra) gathered from Turkey

Abstract Cinclidotus fontinaloides (Hedw.) P. Beauv. and Palustriella commutata (Hedw.) Ochyra were used in this study. The chemical composition of mosses in the ethanol and water extract was determined using GC-MS and FT-IR. Antioxidant activities of moss extracts were tested by total phenol and ABTS methods. Trolox equivalent value (TEAC) of mosses was calculated as 26 ± 0.32 and 10 ± 0.22 mg/g. The amounts of the flavonoid compounds were calculated as mg gallic acid. Gallic acid equivalent value of mosses was calculated as 587 ± 0.55 and 496 ± 0.22 mg/g. The extracts antimicrobial activity was tested against Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145) and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231). Significant antibacterial effect was observed for C. fontinaloides and P. commutata in ethanol extract. Total anthocyanin activities of C. fontinaloides and P. commutata were determined as 50 ± 0.17 and 144 ± 0.33 mg/L.
