Surface alkanes and fatty acids from the thalli of the lichen Xanthoria parietina, its photobiont Trebouxiasp., and its mycobiont were analysed by GC-MS. The green algaTre-bouxiasp. synthesizedmainlyunsaturated fattyacids suchas (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-18 : 3 (Z,Z)-9,12-18 : 2 and (Z)-9-18 : 1, and light alkanes C8-C15 (upto83% of total n-alkanes). However, the mycobiont contained mainly saturated fatty acids such as hexadecanoic (16 : 0) and octadecanoic acid (18 : 0), and also very long-chain n-alkanes C22–C34 | Eur. J.

However the mycobiont contained mainly saturated fatty acids such as hexadecanoic 16 0 and octadecanoic acid 18 0 and also very long-chain n-alkanes C22-C34. Dehydroabietic acid was found in both lichen and mycobi ont. The occurrence of different amounts of n-alkanes and fatty acids in the photobionts and mycobionts of X. parietina was shown for the first time. Lichens collected from different locations in the Jerusalem hills contained n-alkanes ranging in concentration from 187 to 211 mg- g dry wf -1 n-alkane concentrations in the photobiont and mycobiont were 17-24 and 215-262 mg- g dry wt -1 respectively. Keywords alkanes lichen mycobiont photobiont Trebouxia Xanthoria. Lichens have been described as dual organisms because they are symbiotic associations between two or sometimes more entirely different types of micro-organism a fungus termed the mycobiont and a green alga or a cyanobacterium termed the photobiont . These organisms have both algal and fungal properties 1 2 and produce .
