Abstract: 2 fig. 1 tab. ["A method is described for the selective amplification of single mycobiont rDNA sequences from vegetative, non-ascomatal material of the lichenized thalli of Parmelia sulcata and P. saxatilis. The method includes a simple DNA extraction procedure employing rhizines, which avoids the use of liquid nitrogen disruption methods and phenol based extractions."]
