The "symbioticgreenalgae "has been created to connect in a more active and cooperative way all scientists and amateurs working on symbiotic green algae worldwide, with special focus on green algae present in the lichen symbioses, the phycobionts.

Studies on lichen phycobionts extends form morphological to molecular ones and in the past few years enormous step forward have been done to understand their biology and diversity.

These results represent now the starting board for our future projects. We believe that a stronger network of cooperation among lichenologists, phycologists, physiologists, biochemists and genetists is of key importance to target more specifically questions to understand symbiotic interactions and their diversity.
