Abstract

ficult to explore. Future chemical studies will use newly developing methods of separation and structural analysis to study the more complex compounds, including pigments and polysaccharides, terpenoids, and other aliphatic products. Future biological studies will clarify the genetics and evolution of biosynthetic pathways and explain how these compounds contribute to the success of the lichen symbiosis and of the lichen as a functional unit in nature.
