An association in the form of a lichen‐like crust (“actinolichen”) was obtained by seeding Chlorella xanthella cells and spores of a Streptomyces sp. isolated from soil on the surface of potato sections partially immersed in water at temperatures with a diurnal fluctuation of 9–19 C or 14–25 C, and with illumination continuous or during the hours of the higher temperatures. Sections of the crust showed a lichen‐like organized tissue with layers of Streptomyces sp. spores, hyphae alone and associated hyphae and algae.
