Lichen samples were tentatively separated into two categorical sites, active growing site and inactive site. As the first attempt, the isotopic ratio of 64Fe to 68Fe incorporated in the lichens was determined by neutron activation method and partly by ICP mass technique. The isotopic ratios (^<54>Fe/^<68>Fe) of the active growing site were significantly smaller than those of the inactive site or substratum for both lichens. An autonomous incorporation of iron with a kinetic isotope effect by these lichens can be considered.}, pages = {82--90}, title = {ANALYSIS OF ISOTOPIC RATIO OF IRON IN ANTARCTIC LICHENS, USNEA SPHACELATA AND UMBILICARIA APRINA (Twelfth Symposium on Polar Biology)}, volume = {4}, year = {1991} }
