Abstract: 5 tables. 1 figure. [The algal-binding protein (ABP) from Xanthoria parietina collected in Israel had a molecular weight of 12-13, 000 daltons. "Preliminary evidence for the polysaccharide nature of the algal binding sites is presented." ABP may be involved in early symbiont recognition.]
