“And so the main unknown still is in what way this symbiosis is beneficial for each of the partners. However, our discovery also brings many questions related to geographic, ecological and taxonomic parameters of the symbiosis, such as whether alcobioses diversity increases from polar to tropical...
Algaeis a term of convenience and refers to a collection of highly diverse organisms that undertake photosynthesis and/or possess plastids (Keeling,2004). Many authors even include the prokaryotic cyanobacteria into the algae, because they exhibit a life-style rather similar to their eukaryotic counte...
Many plants and some invertebrate species have three sexes due to normal gene expression, but this is the first time a species of algae or fungi has been identified with three sexes. Sexually induced male colony of algae. All reproductive cells of P. starrii algae will divide into sperm ...
we investigate patterns of co-diversification between fungi and algae for a range of New Zealand lichens at the community, genus, and species levels and explore explanations for possible patterns related to spatial scale and pattern, taxonomic diversity of the lichens considered, and the level sampli...

The microalgal phyla have been recognized to provide chemical and pharmacological novelty and diversity, moreover microalgae are considered as the actual producers of some highly bioactive compounds found in marine resources (Shimizu, 1996). The true origins of compounds found in marine invertebrates hav...

Why is ecological diversity (biodiversity) important? What is biological nitrogen fixation? Why is it important? What are the advantages of the low-power objective over the oil immersion objective for viewing fungi or algae? Why is it important to maintain biodiversity in every ecosystem?
more than that of macroalgae [50]. Microalgae, in addition to marine bacteria and fungi, are ecologically important as producers and decomposers in the aquatic environment. Second, after food and biorefinery, their metabolic plasticity may stimulate therapeutic development to combat a diversity of dise...
