LIAS metabolites - NaviKey Module for Identification - Lichen substances

NOTE:

The embedded NaviKey applet is working in the following web browsers or web browser versions: Mozilla Firefox up to v. 51, Firefox ESR (32-bit), and MS Internet Explorer. In case that NaviKey is not supported by your system configuration (MS Windows, Linux or Mac OS X, with Mozilla Firefox installed), upgrade your installation by the respective version of Mozilla Firefox ESR (32-bit).

LIAS metabolites – Identification of lichen substances

To run the applet, the most recent version of Java™ Runtime Environment needs to be downloaded and installed first. Mac OS X users may load Java for Mac OS X. For usage of the context menu, Java v. 6.0 or above is required. The address of this web site (http://lias.net) needs to be included in the list of allowed sites of the web browser's pop-up blocker settings. Detailed instructions are provided further below.

If the LIAS metabolite database has been of some use in your work, please consider to cite it as follows:

We also would appreciate your feedback.

For identifying lichen species of the world, consult LIAS light.

For usage of the database, the instructions for Standardized Thin Layer Chromatography by Elix and Ernst-Russell (1993) should be followed. Our MS Excel sheet 'LIAS metabolites Calculator' may probably be of help.

An interactive key using

Usage of the applet:

top left – Character panel: selection of characters.
top right – Character states or numeric data panel: preselection of states of the selected character. For selecting more than one character state at the same time, press the <CTRL> button plus the respective character states. (To finalize the query for a selected character, click the <Select> or <Add> menu button and then persue the identification process with another character.)
bottom left – Query criteria panel: display of previous character state selections. It is possible to deselect a previous choice by selecting it and subsequently pressing the <Remove Selection> button.
bottom right – Matching items panel: display of matching items (selecting any item will bring up a complete description of that item).

For offline usage of LIAS metabolites data, download NaviKey and keep yourself updated with the most recent LIAS metabolites data files. Unpack the data files and copy them into the local ../NaviKey_xxx/DeltaSampleData/ directory.
