(Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) is described from the southern shores of Oman and from the Mediterranean shore of Israel. The new species has a pulvinate to mamillate–globose habit and long narrow utricles. Molecular data from the rbcL gene show that the species is distinct from closely related species, and concatenated rbcL and rps3–rpl16 sequence data show that it is not closely related to other species with similar external morphologies. The recent discovery of well-established populations of C. pulvinatum along the central Mediterranean coast of Israel suggests that it is a new Lessepsian migrant into the Mediterranean Sea. The ecology and invasion success of the genus Codium, now with four alien species reported for the Levantine Sea, and some ecological aspects are also discussed in light of the discovery of the new species. KEY WORDS: Codium pulvinatum, Israel, Lessepsian migrant, Levantine Sea, Oman, rbcL, rps3–rpl16 INTRODUCTION updated), except for ‘TAU’.

Codium (Chlorophyta) species presented in the Galápagos Islands. Hidrobiológica 26 (2): 151-159. ABSTRACT Background. The Galápagos Islands have been the subject of numerous scientific expeditions. The chief source of in- formation on their marine algae is the report published in 1945 by the late William Randolph Taylor on collections made by the Allan Hancock Pacific Expedition of 1934. Prior to this work, there were no published records ofCodium from the Galápagos. Taylor recorder six species of Codium of which C. isabelae and C. santamariae were new descriptions. Goals. On the basis of collections made since 1939, we have reviewed the registry of Codium in these islands. Methods. Com- parative analysis based on morphology and utricle anatomy. Results. Codium isabelae and C. santamariae are combined under the former name. Records of C. cervicorne and C. dichotomum also are referred to C. isabelae, those of C. setchellii are based partly on representatives of C. picturatum, a recently described species from the Mexican Pacific, Panama, Colombia, and Hawaii, and partly on representatives of a species similar if not identical to C.

  • Mesozoic and Cenozoic Calcareous Algae, Praecursors of Family Codiaceae
    ACTA PALAEONTOLOGICA ROMANIAE V. 6 (2008), P 83-95. MESOZOIC AND CENOZOIC CALCAREOUS ALGAE, PRAECURSORS OF FAMILY CODIACEAE Ovidiu N. DRAGASTAN1 Abstract. It is amaizing how long time was the using of the marine green – algae, Family Codiaceae and the genus Codium, as suffix of many fossil genera (Carpathocodium, Arabicodium, Calabricodium, Madonicodium), without any relation with the real morphology of the Recent genus Codium. The genus Codium is well represented on warm – cool transitional marine coasts or in the inner shelf environments of carbonate platform. The genus Codium has an unique structural plan with thallus multibranched, noncalcareous, vesiculous crossed by medullary siphons and only one layer of cortical utricles. The utricles show a great anatomical diversity with diagnostic value in separating the approximately 100 Recent species. Until now, a real representative of the Recent Family Codiaceae in the fossil state was not found. Also, the same situation is with Recent genus Pseudocodium (Family Pseudocodiaceae). Contrary, the fossils praecursors of the Recent Codiaceae were recorded, described and included now, for the first time in the Family Praecodiaceae nov. fam. This family only with fossil representatives contains calcareous thalli composed by cylindrical branches crossed by medullary siphons, few in number (4 to 6, rarely 8) and only one utricles layer. The utricles layer is variable in morphology from species to species. Beside the late Triassic Hydracara kubeae Dragastan et al.2000 are introduced the following taxa: Lupertosinnium bariensis nov.gen.nov.sp. (early Barremian), L. banatensis n.sp. (late Barremian – early Aptian ), Alpinium tragelehni nov.gen.nov.sp. (Thanetian) and Atlasinium nov.gen.

  • First Record of Genuine Codium Mamillosum Harvey (Codiaceae, Ulvophyceae) from Japan
    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. B, 43(4), pp. 93–98, November 22, 2017 First record of genuine Codium mamillosum Harvey (Codiaceae, Ulvophyceae) from Japan Taiju Kitayama Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, Amakubo 4–1–1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan E-mail: [email protected] (Received 29 August 2017; accepted 27 September 2017) Abstract A marine benthic green alga, Codium mamillosum Harvey (Codiaceae, Bryopsidales, Ulvophyceae) was collected from the mesophotic zone off Chichi-jima Island, Ogasawara Islands, Japan. In Japan, at the end of the 19th century, this species name was used by Okamura (in Matsumura and Miyoshi, 1899) for his specimens of solid globular Codium collected from main islands of Japan, afterward it was synonymized by Silva (1962) into Codium minus (O.C. Schmidt) P.C.Silva as “Codium mamillosum sensu Okamura”. The present alga collected recently from Oga- sawara Islands was identified as a genuine C. mamillosum because the thalli have relatively larger utricles (550–1100 µm in diameter) than those of C. minus. Key words : Codiaceae, Codium mamillosum, Japan, marine benthic green alga, Ogasawara Islands, Ulvophyceae. In the end of the 18th century, the marine Harvey (1855) based on the specimens collected green algal genus Codium (Codiaceae, Bryopsi- from Western Australia, whose appearance was dales, Ulvophyceae) was established by Stack- described as “a very solid, green, mamillated house (1795). This genus has 120–144 species (having nipples) ball”. In Japan, Okamura in (Huisman, 2015; Guiry and Guiry, 2017), which Matsumura and Miyoshi (1899) and Okamura are extremely various in external morphology: (1915) identified the specimens of solid globular flattened to erect, dorsiventral or isobilateral, Codium collected from main islands of Japan as branched or unbranched, complanate to terete, C.

In the present study, 74 evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) are delimited using 227 rbcL exon 1 sequences obtained from specimens collected throughout the genus’ range. Several mor- pho-species were shown to be poorly defined, with some clearly in need of lumping and others containing pseudo-cryptic diversity. A phylogenetic hypothesis of 72 Codium ESUs is inferred from rbcL exon 1 and rps3–rpl16 sequence data using a conventional nucleotide substitution model (GTR + C + I), a codon position model and a covariotide (covarion) model, and the fit of a multitude of substitution models and alignment partitioning strategies to the sequence data is reported.

  • Molecular Survey of Codium Species Diversity in Southern Madagascar
    Cryptogamie, Algologie, 2015, 36 (2): 171-187 © 2015 Adac. Tous droits réservés Molecular survey of Codium species diversity in southern Madagascar Heroen VERBRUGGEN* & Joana F. COSTA School of BioSciences, University of Melbourne, Victoria 3010, Australia Abstract – We present a molecular survey of the species in the green algal genus Codium that were collected as part of the Atimo Vatae expedition to southern Madagascar. Based on clustering analysis of partial tufA and rbcL sequences, we recognize 11-12 species-level clusters in this area. Through a combination of morphological identifications and DNA comparisons, these clusters are identified as C. mozambiquense, C. spongiosum, C. lucasii subsp. capense, C. duthieae, C. decorticatum, C. prostratum, C. dwarkense, C. taylorii, C. arenicola and C. cf. cicatrix, and a new ball-shaped species. We present a phylogenetic tree inferred from a concatenated alignment with tufA, rbcL and rps3-rpl16 to show the placement of these species in the broader context of the genus and to analyse the biogeographic affinities of the southern Madagascan Codium flora. We conclude that the Madagascan flora shares elements with temperate South Africa and contains tropical Indo- Pacific elements. It also has endemic elements, some clearly at the species level, some possibly representing isolated populations of more widely-ranging species. Biogeography / Bryopsidales / Codium / marine green algae / molecular systematics / Madagascar INTRODUCTION Madagascar is a large island in the western Indian Ocean, nearly 500 km east from Mozambique (SE Africa). It is part of the group of (sub-)continents that resulted from the breakup of Gondwana during the Mesozoic. The block consisting of the Indian subcontinent and Madagascar separated from Gondwana roughly 130 million years ago and started drifting northwards.

  • Blood Anticoagulant Activity of a Green Marine Alga Codium Dwarkense (Codiaceae, Chlorophyta) in Relation to Its Growth Stages
    Indian Journal of Marine Sciences Vol. 30, March 2001, pp. 49-52 Short Communication Blood anticoagulant activity of a green marine alga Codium dwarkense (Codiaceae, Chlorophyta) in relation to its growth stages M. Shanmugam, K. H. Mody*, R. M. Oza & B. K. Ramavat Marine Algae & Marine Environment Discipline, Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar-364 002, Gujarat, India Received 11 May 2000, revised 19 October 2000 Codium dwarkense was sampled from Porbandar from December 1998 to April 1999 and growth stages of each sample were examined. Sulphated polysaccharides (SPS) were extracted from each sample and blood anticoagulant activity was evaluated by Prothrombin Time (PT) test. Blood anticoagulant activity was minimum (CT ratio 1.75) in plants collected in vegetative stage without gametangium (December), marginal in plants with 40-50% gametangia (January and February), CT ratio 2.43 and 3.00, respectively, highest (CT ratio 3.75) in reproductive stage (March) where 100% gametangia were found. The activity again decreased (CT ratio 2.34) in lapse period with 98.3% gametangia (April). The activity was directly associated with sugar and sulphate content, which were more in the SPS from plant with 100% gametangia. Therefore, it can be concluded that biosysnthesis of anticoagulant by C. dwarkense is associated with abundance of its gametangia. Sulphated polysaccharides (SPS) are commonly found From a group of 13 green algal species belonging to in marine algae and higher animals and scarcely the family Codiaceae from Indian waters, Codium present in microbes and absent in higher plants. dwarkense and Codium tomentosum were identified Marine algal sulphated polysaccharides are reported as the most promising species.
