1. Molecular mechanisms in actinorhizal symbioses
Abstract : The symbiosis between the nitrogen fixing acinobacterium Frankia and its actinorhizal host plant is very old and their co-evolution has shaped their niche in the environment. Nitrogen is most often the limiting element in soil, and symbiotic plants can, with the help of their micrsymbionts, compete in an efficient way. READ MORE

2. Specificity in natural and artificial cyanobacterial symbioses
Abstract : Cyanobacteria, primarily of the genus Nostoc, form symbioses with a wide variety of plants. The diversity of cyanobacterial strains in these symbioses, and the specificity of interaction, vary greatly. A high diversity at the strain level has been suggested for bryophytes and cycads, whereas a low diversity is found in lichens. READ MORE

5. Phylogeny, diversity and toxin production related to cyanobacterial symbioses
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.
