In this study, marine phytoplankton were collected at Muthukkuda mangrove waters, Tamil Nadu, Southeast coast of India which was then isolated, purified and identified with rDNA sequencing. Recurrence component analysis of marine phytoplankton P. maculatum indicated that the peptides were composed of Beta structure, comprising alpha-helix, extended strand and random coil. The number of amino acids and chemical properties from the marine microalgae P. maculatum are calculated and having composition of Neutral (82.69%), Acidic (10.72%) and Basic (6.57%) amino acids. This species may be introduced by way of shipping and other transport mechanisms where organisms are inadvertently moved out of their home range, e.g., ballast water exchange.

F06108 Nice cedex 02, France * Corresponding author: [email protected] With 5 figures in the text and an electronic supplement Abstract: Green algae (Chlorophyta) are an important group of microalgae whose diversity and ecological importance in marine systems has been little studied. In this review, we first present an overview of Chlorophyta taxonomy and detail the most important groups from the marine environment. Then, using public 18S rRNA Chlorophyta sequences from culture and natural samples retrieved from the annotated Protist Ribosomal Reference (PR²) database, we illustrate the distribution of different green algal lineages in the oceans. The largest group of sequences belongs to the class Mamiellophyceae and in particular to the three genera Micromonas, Bathycoccus and Ostreococcus. These sequences originate mostly from coastal regions. Other groups with a large number of sequences include the Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Chlorodendrophyceae and Pyramimonadales. Some groups, such as the undescribed prasinophytes clades VII and IX, are mostly composed of environmental sequences. The 18S rRNA sequence database we assembled and validated should be useful for the analysis of metabarcode datasets acquired using next generation sequencing.

Abstract The broad-scale tree of eukaryotes is constantly improving, but the evolutionary origin of several major groups remains unknown. Resolving the phylogenetic position of these ‘orphan’ groups is important, especially those that originated early in evolution, because they represent missing evolutionary links between established groups. Telonemia is one such orphan taxon for which little is known. The group is composed of molecularly diverse biflagellated protists, often prevalent although not abundant in aquatic environments.

  • Comparing Relative Rates of Molecular Evolution Between Freshwater and Marine Eukaryotes
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE doi:10.1111/evo.13000 Do saline taxa evolve faster? Comparing relative rates of molecular evolution between freshwater and marine eukaryotes T. Fatima Mitterboeck,1,2,3 Alexander Y. Chen,1,2 Omar A. Zaheer,1,2 EddieY.T.Ma,1,2,4 and Sarah J. Adamowicz1,2 1Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1, Canada 2Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1, Canada 3E-mail: [email protected] 4School of Computer Science, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1, Canada Received June 8, 2015 Accepted June 28, 2016 The major branches of life diversified in the marine realm, and numerous taxa have since transitioned between marine and freshwaters. Previous studies have demonstrated higher rates of molecular evolution in crustaceans inhabiting continental saline habitats as compared with freshwaters, but it is unclear whether this trend is pervasive or whether it applies to the marine environment. We employ the phylogenetic comparative method to investigate relative molecular evolutionary rates between 148 pairs of marine or continental saline versus freshwater lineages representing disparate eukaryote groups, including bony fish, elasmobranchs, cetaceans, crustaceans, mollusks, annelids, algae, and other eukaryotes, using available protein-coding and noncoding genes. Overall, we observed no consistent pattern in nucleotide substitution rates linked to habitat across all genes and taxa. However, we observed some trends of higher evolutionary rates within protein-coding genes in freshwater taxa—the comparisons mainly involving bony fish—compared with their marine relatives. The results suggest no systematic differences in substitution rate between marine and freshwater organisms.

In my doctoral research, the genomes from four taxa of a naturally robust green algal lineage, Picochlorum (Chlorophyta, Trebouxiphycae) were sequenced to allow a comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis. The over-arching goal of this work was to investigate environmental adaptations and the origin of haltolerance. Found in environments ranging from brackish estuaries to hypersaline terrestrial environments, this lineage is tolerant of a wide range of fluctuating salinities, light intensities, temperatures, and has a robust photosystem II. The small, reduced diploid genomes (13.4-15.1Mbp) of Picochlorum, indicative of genome specialization to extreme environments, has resulted in an interesting genomic organization, including the clustering of genes in the same biochemical pathway and coregulated genes. Coregulation of co-localized genes in “gene neighborhoods” is more prominent soon after exposure to salinity shock, suggesting a role in the rapid response to salinity stress in Picochlorum.
