Abstract in brief
The study explores and compares different methods for isolating lichen fungi and photobionts to develop pure and coculture systems, which are important for biotechnological uses of lichens.
Spore discharge methods are the most efficient for isolating fungi, as spores are released quickly and germinate within a few days, with low contamination rates.
The research suggests that many lichen fungi can now be cultivated more easily and rapidly using these methods, paving the way for future controlled cultivation and biotechnological applications such as secondary metabolite production.]
You should never underestimate cyanobacteria or algae, they'll just prove you wrong by finding a way.

Dual organisms, like lichen, play a role in both #TheGrayGod and #UntitledScienceFictionProject. Symbiosis is cool. The jury is still out on SynBioSys. https://t.co/3sDgmYohle
