#thallus — the body of a lichen, built from distinct layers of symbionts, such as fungus or alga, that does not resemble the shape of any one partner in isolation
#axenic — a culture containing only one organism, free from others. You can think of it as "clean" or "pure"
The image is a humorous classroom scene. A teacher stands at the front holding an open red book and smiling, asking the question. The caption at the bottom reads: “Okay, which one of you counts as the true resynthesis?”. Several students at their desks raise their hands at the same time. Instead of human heads, the students have heads replaced with stylized drawings of different lichenization stages from the Figure 2 of the original manuscript in discussion.
It turned out that ‘resynthesis’ has meant many things over time, depending on whom you asked. For some, success was a fully stratified #thallus; for others, just a fungus enclosing a few algal cells was enough to indicate lichen formation. The field never settled where ‘success’ began—or ended. 2/8
