“…C.W. Dodge (Rajaprabu and Ponmurugan 2022). Earlier, only one terricolous lichen was found; in this study, it was found with three taxa, namely, Lepraria caesioalba (B. de Lesd.,) J.R. Laundon, Leucodermia leucomelos (L.) Kalb., and Usnea stigmatoides G. Awasthi.…”

The population diversity of lichen species was studied by the family multiplicity in different sites from various lichen growth forms from the Eastern Ghats, Western Ghats, and the Coastal regions of Sedhu Samuthra, Coramantal and Madras Marina in Tamil Nadu state of the Indian Republic. There are 3,005 lichen taxa and subspecies known from the Indian subcontinent. So far, 938 species have been discovered within the geographical boundaries of Tamil Nadu, making it the state with the second-highest diversity of cryptogamic lichens. This collection was found to contain 150 species from 65 genera, among which 41 species were introduced for the state, regional, and national lichen biota. From the ten substrata, Corticolous was the most adhesive and adorable habitat for lichen(s) growth, with 149 taxa, followed by Lignicolous (143), and the fewest lichen species were grown on Lichenicolous (10) and Foliicolous (09). About the study, we include 3 species that were new records for Indian country, 11 species that are new to the Tamil Nadu State lichen biota, 15 species for the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot, 12 species for Southern India, and Marine lichens. 16 species were new to the Megamalai Tiger Reserve Forest from Cumbum valley. Among the collected species, the common (vernacular) name of the lichen(s) was included. Due to the richness and abundance of natural diversity, the population ecosystem must be explored using artificial intelligence and technology-based customised studies for the benefit of future generations' learning and research.

Proven history in science shows that natural products play a vital role in drug discovery, specifically for immune deficiencies, infectious diseases, and other therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular diseases and multiple sclerosis. Monk Agastyar and Pandit Ayothidhas contributed more to the field of Siddha through mono.and polyherbal medicine and cured many diseases, including oxidative stress and diabetes. Using computational and analytical intelligence methods, this study aims to develop a natural phycobiont (lichens) edible source of metabolites for the chronic and metabolic disorder type II diabetes. The level of docking was ranked based on the iGEMDOCK grading function, with zero being the most accurate ligand. Ultimately, each complex from each fungus that ensured different binding pockets of the 6AK3 had been designated throughout the virtual screening process. Based on the uppermost energy value, the best compounds from each fungus showed accurate molecular docking. Out of the 22 compounds tested, the anthracene-9-one and acetamide found in R. conduplicans showed a high binding capacity. Meanwhile, the binding energy potential of M-Dioxan-4-ol, 2,6-dimethyl, obtained from X. curta, and 2-Chloroethyl Methyl Sulfoxide, obtained from M. fragilis, was enormous. 3, 4-13, 14-dodecahydr-18,18a-dihydroxy-2-methyl-, and 1,4-Bis (trimethylsilyl) benzene were all found in P. reticulatum.
