Large differences in carbohydrate degradation and transport potential among lichen fungal symbionts

Large differences in carbohydrate degradation and transport potential among lichen fungal symbionts

Lichen symbioses are thought to be stabilized by the transfer of fixed carbon from a photosynthesizing symbiont to a fungus. Here, Resl et al. show that, contrary to other fungal symbioses, fungal association with a phototroph in lichens does not result in loss of fungal enzymes for plant cell-wall...
