Cation-exchange chromatography is used when the molecule of interest is positively charged, the stationary phase is negatively charged and positively charged molecules are loaded to be attracted to it. So, the amino acids with negative charge will elute the first. Glutamate, leucin, arginine is the order of elution because of their pI values ~3, ~6 ~10.
The algae increase the autotrophy by offering photosynthesis to the fungi in the lichen organism.
A lichen is an organism consisting of a symbiotic association between a fungus (the mycobiont) and algae. The mushroom brings water and mineral salts. The alga produces, by photosynthesis, various organic compounds of which it gives a part to the mushroom.
