From isolated lichen algae of the genus Trebouxia , De Puymaly isoenzymes of phosphoglucomutase, malate dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase were studied by isoelectric focusing in hybrid immobilized pH gradients. Phosphoglucomutase has proven to be a suitable marker since it is highly variable whereas malate dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase are less variable. The focusing patterns are species specific and provide a basis for a reevaluation of species classification of Trebouxia .
