  2. 1. The puzzle of lichen symbiosis : Pieces from Thamnolia

    Author : Ioana Onuț-Brännström; Hanna Johannesson; Leif Tibell; Anne Pringle; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Thamnolia; lichen; symbiosis; photobiont; mycobiont; phylogeography; MAT-loci; barcoding; NGS; genome; transcriptome; Ice Age; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Abstract : Symbiosis brought important evolutionary novelties to life on Earth. Lichens, the symbiotic entities formed by fungi, photosynthetic organisms and bacteria, represent an example of a successful adaptation in surviving hostile environments. Yet many aspects of the lichen symbiosis remain unexplored. READ MORE

  5. 3. Resource aquisition and allocation in lichens

    Abstract : Lichens are fascinating symbiotic systems, where a fungus and a unicellular alga, most often green (bipartite green algal lichens; 90% of all lichens), or a fi lamentous cyanobacterium (bipartite cyanobacterial lichens; 10% of all lichens) form a new entity (a thallus) appearing as a new and integrated organism: in about 500 lichens the fungus is associated with both a cyanobacterium and an alga (tripartite lichens). In the thallus, the lichen bionts function both as individual organisms, and as a symbiont partner. READ MORE

  6. 4. Phylogeny, diversity and toxin production related to cyanobacterial symbioses

    Author : Dimitra Papaefthimiou; Ulla Rasmussen; Kaarina Sivonen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Azolla; BMAA; cyanobacteria; cyanobionts; cyanolichens; diversity; HPLC; Nostoc; phylogeny; symbiosis; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; växtfysiologi; Plant Physiology;

    Abstract : Phylogeny and morphology were examined for the cyanobionts from the water fern Azolla and the cyanobacterial genus Nostoc originating from symbioses with different host plants (genera Gunnera, Cycas, Dioon, Encephalarthos, Macrozamia, and Anthoceros), the lichen genus Pannaria, and free-living Nostoc isolates from different habitats. Nostoc isolates of Pannaria formed a closely related group, but, in general, no monophyletic nature was attributed to the genus Nostoc, in contrast to the cyanobionts from Azolla which were contained in a unique monophyletic group.

  7. 5. Hidden complexity of lichen symbiosis : insights into functionality, reproduction and composition

    Author : Veera Tuovinen; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Lichens are tremendously diverse physical outcomes of symbiotic relationships involving fungi, algae and bacteria. This thesis aims to give insight into the functionality, composition and reproduction of lichens from the fungal perspective. READ MORE
