Description

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Veselá, Veronika, Malavasi, Veronica, Škaloud, Pavel (2024): A synopsis of green-algal lichen symbionts with an emphasis on their free-living lifestyle. Phycologia 63 (3): 317-338, DOI: 10.1080/00318884.2024.2325329, URL: doi.org/10.1080/00318884.2024.2325329 ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY Received 17-04-2023 Accepted 27-02-2024 Version of Record 21-03- 2024 We present a synopsis of studies reporting the free-living occurrence of green algal lichen symbionts.

We give an overview of all known lichen photobiont genera together with comprehensive descriptions, taxonomical classification and occurrence data. Based on the analysis of 310 records, we discovered that at least 80% of lichen photobiont genera were observed in the free-living state. Diplosphaera chodatii, Elliptochloris bilobata and Chloroidium ellipsoideum represent both morphologically and genetically the most frequently reported free-living photobiont species.

Trebouxia, the most prevalent genus of lichen photobionts, has frequently been reported to exist independently to fungal hyphae. Based on our literature survey, free-living photobionts of lichens are able to grow in a wide range of environments and substrates, with most records coming from soil and biological soil crusts.
