A review of algal (including cyanobacterial) symbionts associated with lichen-forming fungi
is presented. General aspects of their biology relevant to lichen symbioses are summarized …

Phylogeny is an evolutionary reconstruction of the past relationships of DNA or protein
sequences and it can further be used as a tool to assess population structuring, genetic …

The heterocytous cyanobacteria form a monophyletic group according to 16S rRNA gene
sequence data. Within this group, phylogenetic and morphological studies have shown that …

Cyanobacteria are an enormously diverse group of prokaryotes whose adaptive capacity

Many cyanobacteria commonly identified as belonging to the genus Nostoc are well-known
cyanobionts (symbionts) of a wide variety of plants and fungi. They form symbioses with …

The heterocystous cyanobacteria are currently placed in subsections IV and V, which are
distinguished by cellular division in one plane (false branching) and in more than one plane …

Studies of cyanobacterial nostocacean taxa are important to the global scientific community,
mainly because a significant number of beneficial strains that belong to the order Nostocales …
