Is a plant cell unicellular or multicellular? Is fungi saprophytic or parasitic? Are archaea autotrophs? Is lichen a symbiotic fungi? Is Fungi a kingdom or domain? Are amoebas unicellular? Are archaea autotrophic or heterotrophic? Do Archaea have organelles?
Mycobiont is a lichen forming fungi (LFF) symbiotically associated with phycobiont (algae) of lichens. Here LFF was isolated from Everniastrum cirrhat..Shaily JaveriaSushil Kumar ShahiMamta Patra ShahiYashwant Kumar Yadava
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) degradation by the microalgal–bacterial symbiotic system containing a mixed culture of Methylibium petroleiphilum PMI and Chlorella ellipsoidea with the optimal ratio of initial cell population of bacteria to algae of 100:1 was higher than the pure cultures of ...
Lichens are symbiotic associations between fungi and green algae or cyanobacteria, in which the fungal partner (mycobiont) forms a characteristic structure called a thallus (what we see as a lichen) that encloses and protects the alga or cyanobacterium (photobiont) (Hale, 1983; Nash, 1996). ...
It has been previously demonstrated that the symbiotic cyanobacteria in Macrozamia riedlei, while photo- synthetically inactive, fixed nitrogen and trans- ferred it to the host cycad plant in the form of citrulline and glutamine (Lindblad et al., 1991). Microcystin-producing Nostoc symbionts of ...
Which of the following is a symbiotic mutualistic relationship between two different species? a. Nagana b. Octopus and other mollusks c. Malaria d. A female firefly producing a rhythmic flashing to attract males e. Lichen What organisms provide nutrients and sometimes water to plant partners?
In the Arctic, this theoretical life web is usually shorter. Lichen grows on a rock, reindeer eat the lichen, and then when the reindeer die their bodies nourish scavengers and decomposers. The Role of Algae in Aquatic Ecosystems Algae is a broad grouping of aquatic plants or plantlike organi...

These algae are ubiquitous in ter- restrial habitats and exhibit a general tendency to enter lichen-like s ymbioses18. However, their symbiotic and free-living members are morphologically uniform, and separation of the cryptic lineages requires molecular data19,20 not available for alco...
