S. Pérez-Ortega, A. de los Rios, A. Crespo and L. Sancho 2010: Symbiotic lifestyle and phylogenetic relationships of the bionts of Mastodia tessellata (Ascomycota, Incertae Sedis). - American Journal of Botany 97(5): 738-752. [RLL List # 219 / Rec.# 32127]
Keywords: CHILE/ MYCOPHYCOBIOSIS/ PRASIOLALES/ PYRENOMYCETES/ SYMBIOTIC CONTINUUM/ ULTRASTRUCTURE/ VERRUCARIACEAE/ MASTODIA
Abstract: [Study of material from Chile. "Examining the nuLSU and nuSSU gene regions of the mycobiont and the rbcL gene region of the photobiont, we found the fungus to be related to a group of marine species in the genus Verrucaria, family Verrucariaceae, despite its present ascription to the family Mastodiaceae. In addition, the photobiont of the symbiosis emerged as closely related to the North American species Prasiola borealis. We have shown here that M. tessellata does not fall into a traditional concept of a mutualistic lichen symbiosis. Rather, it is an extraordinary example of how two different microorganisms are able to colonize a new habitat through symbiosis."]
