Fig.1-24 Lichen: their living form (a), organizational structures with secreted metabolites (b), and complex structures with cesium (c)

The living form of a lichen (Parmotrema tinctorum) on the stem of a cherry tree (a), its schematic internal structure with the secreted metabolites (b), and the complex form of protocetraric acid with cesium (c). The calculation shows that metabolites secreted in the upper cortex layer and the ones in medullar layer form complexes with cesium as they are in the dehydrated states and nondehydrated states, respectively.
