A comprehensive account of fungal classification from freshwater habitats is outlined and
discussed in the present review based on literature of biodiversity studies and recent …

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 …

The diversity of lichen photobionts is not fully known. We studied here the diversity of the
photobionts associated with Cladonia, a sub-cosmopolitan genus ecologically important …

Chlorella and Stichococcus are morphologically simple airborne microalgae, omnipresent in
terrestrial and aquatic habitats. The minute cell size and resistance against environmental …

Lichens are the symbiotic association of green algae (phycobiont) or blue-green algae
(cyanobiont) with fungus (mycobiont). Lichen-forming fungi consist of about 20,000 species …

The genus Asterochloris represents one of the most common, widespread, and diverse taxa
of lichen photobionts. In this report, we describe and characterize six new species (A …

The microalgae of the genus Asterochloris are the preferential phycobionts in Cladonia,
Lepraria and Stereocaulon lichens. Recent studies have highlighted the hidden diversity of …

We studied the biodiversity of Asterochloris photobionts found in Bolivian lichens to better
understand their global spatial distribution and adaptation strategies in the context of a …

Lichenized algae and cyanobacteria are known to be shared and selected by unrelated
lichen-forming fungi coexisting in so-called photobiont-mediated guilds. Life in such a guild …

Lichens are obligate symbioses between fungi and green algae or cyanobacteria. Most
lichens resynthesize their symbiotic thalli from propagules, but some develop within the …
