Bubrick, P/ Galun, M/ Frensdorff, A 1981: Proteins from the lichen Xanthoria parietina which bind to phycobiont cell walls.

Abstract: 2 figures. ["A protein fraction, previously isolated from the lichen Xanthoria parietina and known to bind to the appropriate cultured Trebouxia phycobiont, was visualized in the intact lichen thallus and cultured mycobiont by an indirect immunoperoxidase assay." Authors speculate that these fungal cell wall proteins may play a significant role in symbiont recognition and synthesis.]
