Conventionally lichens are considered as an example of symbiotic involvement between a fungus and one or more algae but it is widely debated and deserves further investigation. With the discovery of endolichenic and lichenicolous fungi this relationship becomes much more complex to explain. The ...
“Hence, fungus-algal associations in which this is not the case are not considered lichens.” He added that it is also suspected that certain non-photosynthetic bacteria are important for lichenization. Mosses are also not lichens, according to the Forest Service. Though at first glance some ...

Terpenes are an interesting class of biosynthetic compounds owing to their ecological and physiological importance in all domains of life, including bacteria [16,17,18], non-lichenized model fungi, and plants [19]. Terpene synthases play pivotal roles in the basic biological functions such as in ...
Seed plants lack which of the following structure(s)? (a) ovules surrounded by integuments (b) microspores and megaspores (c) vascular tissues (d) a large, nutritionally independent sporophyte (e) a large, nutritionally indep...
Researchers are also using lichens to examine the health of the environment. 【小题1】What do we know about lichens according to the passage? A.They will die if they leave Earth. B.There are more lichens than plants on Earth. C.They look similar to the environment around them. D.They ...
Water plants existed before land plants. Only living plant cells take up water. The greenish-yellow lichens are uncommon land plants. The living cells of roots absorb more water than the rest of the plant. The most suitable title for this passage is ___. A. water intake by cells B. roo...
Most lichens include a member of which phylum of fungi? What are mycorrhizas? How do both fungi and plants benefit from this ecological interaction? What are the primary mycelium and secondary mycelium of fungi, and what is their difference?
(HR-MS) spectra, and using polarimetry for compounds with asymmetric carbons. Microbial (bacteria or fungal) metabolites were obtained after culture of the associated bacteria [30] or the endolichenic fungi previously isolated from lichens [31], which were then purified and identified in the same...
Where they live: Water bears, true to their name, live in water, from oceans to drops of water on plants. They can live high in the mountains and deep in the ocean. What they eat: Tardigrades mostly eat plants and algae. Some species eat other, smaller creatures, like microscopic worms...
