| 1. | More than one phycobiont may be present in a single thallus.
|
| 2. | The same phycobiont species can occur in association with different fungal species as lichen partners.
|
| 3. | On the basis of their habitat, algae can be categorized as : calcifilic or lichenic ( phycobiont ).
|
| 4. | These structures contain both the hyphae of the mycobiont and the algae ( phycobiont ) ( see soredia and isidia.
|
| 5. | An example of when " lichenized fungus " refers to just the fungus is when the fungus is grown in culture without a phycobiont.
|
| 6. | The algal photobiont ( technically a phycobiont, as it is a green algal photosynthetic partner ) is from the genus " Trentepohlia ".
