Abstract: Twenty-five specimens including 10 species of lichens belonging to the family Graphidaceae collected from various habitats in Japan, mainly Hiroshima Prefecture. Photobionts were isolated and identified as Trentepohlia lagenifem. These algae were morphologically divided into three types. They were the S type, the L type and the T type. The algal strains of the T type was isolated from two tropical species of Graphidaceae. This suggests that photobionts of Graphidaceaean lichens are morphologically specialized by the influences of the mycobiont.

Phycobionts of some Japanese species of the Graphidaceae.
TL;DR: The phycobionts were all identical and identified as Trentepohlia lagenifera, an alga that is widely distributed in Japan and occurs freeliving on bark and stones under humid conditions.
