Effects of Growth Media on the Diversity of Culturable Fungi from Lichens
Molecules, 2017 Microscopic and molecular studies suggest that lichen symbioses contain a plethora of associated fungi. These are potential producers of novel bioactive compounds, but strains isolated on standard media usually represent only a minor subset of these ...

A comparative genomic analysis of lichen-forming fungi reveals new insights into fungal lifestyles
Scientific Reports, 2022 Lichen-forming fungi are mutualistic symbionts of green algae or cyanobacteria. We report the comparative analysis of six genomes of lichen-forming fungi in classes Eurotiomycetes and Lecanoromycetes to identify genomic information related to their ...
