  • New Zealand's Genetic Diversity
    1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial.

Despite their supposed significant roles in the marine ecosystem, our knowledge of their marine diversity and distribution as well as their life cycles is rather limited. Here we describe the anatomy and morphology of several developmental stages of a phytomyxid symbiosis recently discovered on the petioles of the alien seagrass Halophila stipulacea at a locality in the southeast Aegean Sea. Its earliest stage appeared as whitish spots already on the youngest leaves at the apex of the newly formed rhizomes. The infected host cells grew in volume being filled with plasmodia which resulted in the formation of characteristic macroscopic galls.

These plankton organisms can exhibit a large biomass in the environment and are supposed to play an important role in marine ecosystems and in material cycles in the ocean. Accurate knowledge of phaeodarian classification is thus necessary to better understand marine biology, however, phylogenetic information on Phaeodaria is limited. The present study analyzed 18S rDNA sequences encompassing all existing phaeodarian orders, to clarify their phylogenetic relationships and improve their taxonomic classification. The mono- phyly of Phaeodaria was confirmed and strongly supported by phylogenetic analysis with a larger data set than in previous studies. The phaeodarian clade contained 11 subclades which generally did not correspond to the families and orders of the current classification system. Two families (Challengeri- idae and Aulosphaeridae) and two orders (Phaeogromida and Phaeocalpida) are possibly polyphyletic or paraphyletic, and consequently the classification needs to be revised at both the family and order levels by integrative taxonomy approaches.

It has been found at sites around the world. The organism has an irregular star-shaped body from which radiate thin pseudopodia with extrusomes. There are 2 inactive flagella. The organism is normally sedentary but, under adverse conditions, the arms are resorbed, the flagella become active, and the organism becomes a motile non-feeding flagellate. The ecological niche occupied by this organism and its phylogenetic affinities are discussed.

    Protistology 3 (4), 201217 (2004) Protistology Review of diversity and taxonomy of cercomonads Alexander P. Myl’nikov 1 and Serguei A. Karpov 2 1 Institute for the Biology of Inland Waters, Borok, Yaroslavl district, Russia 2 Biological Faculty, Herzen Pedagogical State University, St. Petersburg, Russia Summary Cercomonads are very common heterotrophic flagellates in water and soil. Phylogenetically they are a key group of a protistan phylum Cercozoa. Morphological and taxonomical analysis of cercomonads reveals that the order Cercomonadida (Vickerman) Mylnikov, 1986 includes two families: Cercomonadidae Kent, 1880 (=Cercobodonidae Hollande, 1942) and Heteromitidae Kent, 1880 em. Mylnikov, 2000 (=Bodomorphidae Hollande, 1952), which differ in several characters: body shape, temporary/habitual pseudopodia, presence/absence of plasmodia stage and microtubular cone, type of extrusomes. The family Cercomonadidae includes Cercomonas Dujardin, 1841 and Helkesimastix Woodcock et Lapage, 1914. All species of Cercobodo are transferred to the genus Cercomonas. The family Heteromitidae includes Heteromita Dujardin, 1841 emend.

The names Bodomorpha and Sciviamonas are regarded as junior synonyms of Heteromita.

(Cercozoa, Incertae Sedis), a New Scale-covered Flagellate from Marine Sandy Shores Kenneth H. NICHOLLS Summary. Zoelucasa sablensis n. gen et n. sp. is a small heterotrophic fl agellate housed within a pyriform lorica of relatively large imbri- cate, circular siliceous scales. It was found in near-shore benthic sand/seawater samples of both the Pacifi c and Atlantic Oceans (west and east coasts of Canada; salinity = 32–33 ppt). The median length and width of the lorica was 18 and 11 μm, respectively (n = 29). This taxon lacks chloroplasts and swims with a slow zig-zag motion controlled by a short (5–7 μm long), anteriorly-directed fl agellum and a longer trailing fl agellum, 15–20 μm in length. Its classifi cation within the phylum Cercozoa (most likely, Class Imbricatea) is tentative, as there are no known morphological homologues (discoidal, overlapping siliceous plate-scales forming a test or lorica enclosing a heterotrophic fl agellate). Further study of cultured and wild material, including a search for other possible non-fl agellate (e.g. amoeboid?) life history stages, TEM examination of cell sections, and rDNA sequencing will most certainly provide more opportunities for a justifi able classifi ca- tion, possibly including a new Order. Key words: Imbricatea (Silicofi losea), sand-dwelling protist, psammon, silica scales, fl agellate. INTRODUCTION samples collected from both the east and west coasts of Canada. Owing to its apparently unique morphology, it is described here as a new monospecifi c genus and Sand-welling marine protists include taxa repre- has been tentatively assigned to the class Imbricatea of senting a wide variety of forms and phylogenetic lines.

  • Evidence for Glycolytic Reactions in the Mitochondrion?
    Broad Distribution of TPI-GAPDH Fusion Proteins among Eukaryotes: Evidence for Glycolytic Reactions in the Mitochondrion? Takuro Nakayama1, Ken-ichiro Ishida2, John M. Archibald1* 1 Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, Program in Integrated Microbial Biodiversity, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, 2 Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan Abstract Glycolysis is a central metabolic pathway in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotes, the textbook view is that glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. However, fusion proteins comprised of two glycolytic enzymes, triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), were found in members of the stramenopiles (diatoms and oomycetes) and shown to possess amino-terminal mitochondrial targeting signals. Here we show that mitochondrial TPI- GAPDH fusion protein genes are widely spread across the known diversity of stramenopiles, including non-photosynthetic species (Bicosoeca sp. and Blastocystis hominis). We also show that TPI-GAPDH fusion genes exist in three cercozoan taxa (Paulinella chromatophora, Thaumatomastix sp. and Mataza hastifera) and an apusozoan protist, Thecamonas trahens. Interestingly, subcellular localization predictions for other glycolytic enzymes in stramenopiles and a cercozoan show that a significant fraction of the glycolytic enzymes in these species have mitochondrial-targeted isoforms. These results suggest that part

Accepted: 29 September 2003 Protist large-scale phylogeny is briefly reviewed and a revised higher classification of the kingdom Pro- tozoa into 11 phyla presented. Complementary gene fusions reveal a fundamental bifurcation among eu- karyotes between two major clades: the ancestrally uniciliate (often unicentriolar) unikonts and the an- cestrally biciliate bikonts, which undergo ciliary transformation by converting a younger anterior cilium into a dissimilar older posterior cilium. Unikonts comprise the ancestrally unikont protozoan phylum Amoebozoa and the opisthokonts (kingdom Animalia, phylum Choanozoa, their sisters or ancestors; and kingdom Fungi). They share a derived triple-gene fusion, absent from bikonts. Bikonts contrastingly share a derived gene fusion between dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase and include plants and all other protists, comprising the protozoan infrakingdoms Rhizaria [phyla Cercozoa and Re- taria (Radiozoa, Foraminifera)] and Excavata (phyla Loukozoa, Metamonada, Euglenozoa, Percolozoa), plus the kingdom Plantae [Viridaeplantae, Rhodophyta (sisters); Glaucophyta], the chromalveolate clade, and the protozoan phylum Apusozoa (Thecomonadea, Diphylleida). Chromalveolates comprise kingdom Chromista (Cryptista, Heterokonta, Haptophyta) and the protozoan infrakingdom Alveolata [phyla Cilio- phora and Miozoa (= Protalveolata, Dinozoa, Apicomplexa)], which diverged from a common ancestor that enslaved a red alga and evolved novel plastid protein-targeting machinery via the host rough ER and the enslaved algal plasma membrane (periplastid membrane).

    Bi et al. Phytopathology Research (2019) 1:12 https://doi.org/10.1186/s42483-019-0018-6 Phytopathology Research RESEARCH Open Access Comparative genomics reveals the unique evolutionary status of Plasmodiophora brassicae and the essential role of GPCR signaling pathways Kai Bi1,2, Tao Chen2, Zhangchao He1,2, Zhixiao Gao1,2, Ying Zhao1,2, Huiquan Liu3, Yanping Fu2, Jiatao Xie1,2, Jiasen Cheng1,2 and Daohong Jiang1,2* Abstract Plasmodiophora brassicae is an important biotrophic eukaryotic plant pathogen and a member of the rhizarian protists. This biotrophic pathogen causes clubroot in cruciferous plants via novel intracellular mechanisms that are markedly different from those of other biotrophic organisms. To date, genomes from six single spore isolates of P. brassicae have been sequenced. An accurate description of the evolutionary status of this biotrophic protist, however, remains lacking. Here, we determined the draft genome of the P. brassicae ZJ-1 strain. A total of 10,951 protein-coding genes were identified from a 24.1 Mb genome sequence. We applied a comparative genomics approach to prove the Rhizaria supergroup is an independent branch in the eukaryotic evolutionary tree. We also found that the GPCR signaling pathway, the versatile signal transduction to multiple intracellular signaling cascades in response to extracellular signals in eukaryotes, is significantly enriched in P. brassicae-expanded and P. brassicae-specific gene sets. Additionally, treatment with a GPCR inhibitor relieved the symptoms of clubroot and significantly suppressed the development of plasmodia. Our findings suggest that GPCR signal transduction pathways play important roles in the growth, development, and pathogenicity of P. brassicae.
