Physiological Interactions Between the Partners of the Lichen Symbiosis

  • Chapter
Cellular Interactions

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 17))

Abstract

Lichens are a symbiotic association comprised of two unrelated organisms, a fungus and an alga; usually one type of alga (the phycobiont) combines with one type of fungus (the mycobiont). When fully integrated they form a new biological entity with no resemblance to either of the components. There are to date about 20,000 lichen species known, which account for about 25% of all the fungi known in the world (lichens are incorporated in fungal classification).

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up to his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes, Chapter 4 Verses9–12: (King James’ Version)
