Ecology of endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica [PDF]
, 2005 In this study, the symbiont cells of several endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica and the relationships they have with the abiotic environment were analyzed in situ, in order to characterize the microecosystems integrating ...

The Lichens’ Microbiota, Still a Mystery?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Lichens represent self-supporting symbioses, which occur in a wide range of terrestrial habitats and which contribute significantly to mineral cycling and energy flow at a global scale. Lichens usually grow much slower than higher plants.
