Лишайникоподобные симбиотические ассоциации ксилотрофных грибов и водорослей

Abstract

Xylotrophic basidiomycetes and algae that inhabit their basidiocarps form of the lichen-like symbiotic associations. There are multicomponent systems, including mycobiont and several species of photobionts. The main and obligatory component of mycetobiont communities are the green algae, blue-green algae – their facultative component. Mycobionts are usually the fungi with annual, annual-wintering basidiocarps and their relationships with algae are mutualistic: algae receive some protection, H2O and CO2, fungi receive additional source of carbon and nitrogen nutrition. In all characteristics, the symbiotic associations of xylotrophic fungi and mycetobiont algae correspond to basidiomycetes lichens and can be considered as such.
