Big thanks to the co-authors - @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social and Jasper Raistrick, an undergrad student who did a lot of work to isolate the alga - as well as the staff of SAG!

We are hoping our study will be useful for anyone interested in doing experiments on lichen symbionts or digging into algal genomics! The genome is available at NCBI/ENA, and the strain can be ordered from the SAG culture bank
