Chaenothecopsis consociata - kein parasitischer oder parasymbiontischer Pilz, sondern lichenisiert mit Dictyochloropsis symbiontica, spec. nova.

Chaenothecopsis consociata regularly is lichenized with Dictyochloropsis symbiontica, nova spec., a member of the Chlorococcales. During early development Chaenothecopsis consociata possibly parasitizes on Chaenotheca chrysocephala.- Dictyochloropsis symbiontica is characterized by its hollow spherical chloroplast which consists of a complex threedimensional network, the absence of a pyrenoid, and the possession of one central nucleus. It reproduces by autospores as well as by zoo- and aplanospores. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
