This project aims to study lichen biodiversity in East African mountains, focusing on the effects of ecosystem disturbances. By applying molecular biology techniques, it seeks to enhance understanding of lichen symbioses and their ecological significance.
Lichen symbioses are stable mutualistic associations in which photoautotrophic algae and/or cyanobacteria provide carbohydrates for heterotrophic fungi.
Lichens represent a highly successful nutritional strategy, which allows the symbiotic organisms to greatly expand their ecological range.
In contrast to the macrolichens of boreal and temperate regions, tropical lichens are still fairly poorly known, and the application of molecular biology methods has recently revealed unprecedented diversity…
