How do you change your computer screen from landscape to portrait setting? My son was playing with the computer and when I looked at the screen he somehow changed it to a landscape appearance rather than standard portrait.
Lichens have been described as dual organisms because they are symbiotic associations between two (or sometimes more) entirely different types of microorganism 1  -. a fungus (termed the mycobiont). 2  a green alga or a cyanobacterium (termed the photobiont).
Much of the rest of the website consists of expansions of the topics presented here and you can get to many of those expansions by clicking on the embedded links. A lichen is not a single organism. Rather, it is a symbiosis between different organisms - a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium. Cyanobacteria are sometimes still referred to as 'blue-green algae', though they are quite distinct from the algae. The non-fungal partner contains chlorophyll and is called the photobiont.
