Lichen genus Nephroma (Peltigerales) has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution, and it includes both bipartite species with cyanobacteria as main photobiont as well as cephalodiate species

Many aquatic cyanobacteria produce small peptide toxins harmful or even deadly for animals and humans. Some of the most common and potent types of cyanobacterial

The use of variable analysis methods, including light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Raman spectroscopy, reveal new details on

A novel lichen inhabiting, or lichenicolous, fungus Taitaia aurea was found growing in the montane forests of Kenya with the epiphytic tripartite cyanolichen Crocodia cf.
