Synchronic production of fungal lectin, phycobiont lectin receptor and algal division in Evernia prunastri,
Journal of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory,
100: 739-751
Arginase, which acts as a fungal lectin, is secreted from Evernia prunastri thalli mainly during spring although it also appears in the medium during the winter. However, urease, which be haves as a lectin ligand, is only secreted during the autumn and winter. In parallel, aplanosporangia formation and the release of small, young algal cells inside the thallus, occurred under short-day con ditions and low temperature values. Thus, the synchronization of the production of the lectin ligand and algal …
