Lichen siderophore paper is out

A paper Gulnara contributed to is out in Nature Communications. The paper explores iron exchange as one of the aspects of lichen symbiosis, a first study of its sort. It shows that siderophore produced by the fungal symbiont in Xanthoria lichens enchances growth of the algal symbiont.

Was so great to be part of this study. Big thanks to Isidor Happacher and Hubertus Haas for putting this together!
