Lichens, which are defined by a core symbiosis between a mycobiont (fungal partner) and a
photobiont (photoautotrophic partner), are in fact complex assemblages of microorganisms …

Lichens are synergetic organisms composed of a mycobiont in relationship with one or more
photosynthetic partners (photobiont). These organisms grow on various substrates and …

The Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized Fungi, and one of the most species-
rich classes in the kingdom. Here we provide a multigene phylogenetic synthesis (using …

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 …

Lichens are exemplar symbioses based upon carbon exchange between photobionts and
their mycobiont hosts. Historically considered a two‐way relationship, some lichen …

The High Andean Paramo ecosystem is a unique neotropical mountain biome considered a
diversity and evolutionary hotspot. Lichens, which are complex symbiotic structures that …

Definition Lichens have long been considered as composite organisms composed of algae
and/or cyanobacteria hosted by a fungus in a mutualistic relationship. Other organisms have …

The genus Dendrobium is one of the largest genera of the Orchidaceae Juss. family,
although some of its members are the most threatened today. The reason why many species …

Investigating the multidimensional integration between different microbiological kingdoms
possesses potential toward engineering next-generation bionic architectures. Bacterial and …

Cloud forests have been found to lose more nitrogen in stream discharge than they gain
from atmospheric deposition. They also support a large diversity and biomass of tree …
