Microalgae are unicellular microorganisms that can be rich in proteins and are therefore a
valuable ingredient in different foods. So far microalgae are mainly utilized in foods in low …

We present a synopsis of studies reporting the free-living occurrence of green algal lichen
symbionts. We give an overview of all known lichen photobiont genera together with …

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 …

Melting snowfields in polar and alpine regions often exhibit a red and orange colouration
caused by microalgae. The diversity of these organisms is still poorly understood. We …
