Xanthoparmelia, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xanthoparmelia is a genus of lichen belonging to the family Parmeliaceae. Xanthoparmelia is synonymous with Almbornia, Neofuscelia, Chondropsis, Namakwa, Paraparmelia, and Xanthomaculina. The name means 'golden yellow parmelia'. The photobiont is trebouxioid. Lichens are composite organisms consisting of a symbiotic association of a fungus (the mycobiont) with a photosynthetic partner (the photobiont or phycobiont), usually either a green alga (commonly Trebouxia) or cyanobacterium. The morphology, physiology and biochemistry of lichens are very different from those of the isolated fungus and alga in culture.
