Advanced methods for the study of the chemistry and the metabolism of lichens
- Published 2011 in Phytochemistry Reviews
Abstract
Lichens are compound entities of a fungal partner (“mycobiont”) and one or more photosynthetically active algae or cyanobacteria (“photobionts”). The organisms live in an intimate, symbiotic association which has been classified as a mutualistic or controlled parasitic relationship. Several metabolites from lichens display unique structures with unknown… (More)
