Successful resynthesis was achieved between the mycobiont of Cla- donia fimbriata and its Trebouxia photobiont. High concentration of fumarprotocetraric acid was detected by TLC analysis of acetone extracts from the synthesized lichen thallus and podetia. The success of the resynthesis experiments depends on the light and temperature conditions and especially on the humidity. The alternation of moist and dry' periods is necessary for the development and for the morphogenesis of the lichen and probably …
