Abstract

Cyanobacteria symbiotic with 17 members of the Lichinaceae and Heppiaceae were brought into unialgal culture and their free-living characteristics examined. A diversity of cyanobacterial types was observed; this diversity was much greater than that reported in the literature. Both the in situ identification of cyanobionts and their role as an aid to the identification of these lichens are questioned.
