“…In 1993 Ahmadjian and in 1981 Ahmadjian and Jacobs interpreted the relationship of the two symbionts as controlled or balanced parasitism where balance is maintained between the growth of host and parasite. There is some evidence that lichens are highly selective in their symbionts (Galun, Bubrick & Frensdorff 1984), but other authors report that one species of lichenized ascomycetes can associate with different, often related algae. However, the nature of the lichen symbiosis is still debated and it is an area in lichenology where further investigation is needed.…”

“…From the overall point of view lichens form a complex association, where bionts form a heterogeneous assemblage exhibiting a high degree of morphological, physiological and biochemical integration (Galun, Bubrick & Frensdorff 1984). Lichens have derived polyphyletically from various different groups of non-lichenized fungi at different times so there are phylogcnetically distinct groups of lichens existing in nature (Hawksworth 1973;Miadlikowska 2012).…”
