Porphyra and Pyropia were the most diverse genera with eight ‘species’ each, whereas only a ‘single’ Plastid rbcL species each was found for Fuscifolium and Wildemania. There was also evidence of recently diverging groups: Wildemania sp. was distinct but very closely related to W. amplissima from the Northern Hemisphere and raises questions in relation to such disjunct distributions. Pyropia orbicularis was very closely related to two other species, making species delimitation very difficult but provides evidence of an incipient speciation. The difference between the ‘species’ discovered and those previously reported for the region is discussed in relation to the difficulty of distinguishing species based on morphological identification.

  • RED ALGAE · RHODOPHYTA Rhodophyta Are Cosmopolitan, Found from the Artic to the Tropics
    RED ALGAE · RHODOPHYTA Rhodophyta are cosmopolitan, found from the artic to the tropics. Although they grow in both marine and fresh water, 98% of the 6,500 species of red algae are marine. Most of these species occur in the tropics and sub-tropics, though the greatest number of species is temperate. Along the California coast, the species of red algae far outnumber the species of green and brown algae. In temperate regions such as California, red algae are common in the intertidal zone. In the tropics, however, they are mostly subtidal, growing as epiphytes on seagrasses, within the crevices of rock and coral reefs, or occasionally on dead coral or sand. In some tropical waters, red algae can be found as deep as 200 meters. Because of their unique accessory pigments (phycobiliproteins), the red algae are able to harvest the blue light that reaches deeper waters. Red algae are important economically in many parts of the world. For example, in Japan, the cultivation of Pyropia is a multibillion-dollar industry, used for nori and other algal products. Rhodophyta also provide valuable “gums” or colloidal agents for industrial and food applications. Two extremely important phycocolloids are agar (and the derivative agarose) and carrageenan. The Rhodophyta are the only algae which have “pit plugs” between cells in multicellular thalli. Though their true function is debated, pit plugs are thought to provide stability to the thallus. Also, the red algae are unique in that they have no flagellated stages, which enhance reproduction in other algae. Instead, red algae has a complex life cycle, with three distinct stages.

(1991): “This filamentous red alga native to the Atlantic Coast was observed in Lake Erie in 1964 (Lin and Blum 1977). After this sighting, records for Lake Ontario (Damann 1979), Lake Michigan (Weik 1977), Lake Simcoe (Jackson 1985) and Lake Huron (Sheath 1987) were reported. It has become a major species of the littoral flora of these lakes, generally occupying the littoral zone with Cladophora and Ulothrix (Blum 1982). Earliest records of this algae in the basin, however, go back to the 1940s when Smith and Moyle (1944) found the alga in Lake Superior tributaries. Matthews (1932) found the alga in Quaker Run in the Allegheny drainage basin. Smith and 1 Moyle’s records must have not resulted in spreading populations since the alga was not known in Lake Superior as of 1987. Kishler and Taft (1970) were the most recent workers to refer to the records of Smith and Moyle (1944) and Matthews (1932).” From NOAA and USGS (2016): “Established where recorded except in Lake Superior. The distribution in Lake Simcoe is limited (Jackson 1985).” From Kipp et al. (2017): “Bangia atropurpurea was first recorded from Lake Erie in 1964. During the 1960s–1980s, it was recorded from Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Ontario, and Lake Simcoe (part of the Lake Ontario drainage).

These species have a carotenoid profile dominated by xanthophylls, mostly lutein and zeaxanthin, which have relevant benefits for human health. The effects of different abiotic factors on xanthophyll synthesis in these species have been scarcely studied, despite their health benefits. The objectives of this study were (i) to identify the abiotic factors that enhance the synthesis of xanthophylls in Porphyra/Pyropia species by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of the xanthophyll content found in the literature, and (ii) to recommend a culture method that would allow a significant accumulation of Citation: Piña, F.; Contreras-Porcia, these compounds in the biomass of these species.

It is distinguished from other Pyropia species by the foliose and lanceolate gametophyte, a monoecious thallus and the zygotosporangia in packets of 2x2x4. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the two Pacific Mexican samples, from Caletilla and Carrizalillo (Michoacán), were almost identical and formed a distinctive and well supported clade segregated from other species of Pyropia from Brazil, USA and Mexico. The Mexican entity is morphologically and genetically distinct from other Pyropia species, suggesting that this species should be assigned to a new taxon.

  • Polyploid Lineages in the Genus Porphyra Elena Varela-Álvarez 1, João Loureiro2, Cristina Paulino1 & Ester A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Polyploid lineages in the genus Porphyra Elena Varela-Álvarez 1, João Loureiro2, Cristina Paulino1 & Ester A. Serrão1 Whole genome duplication is now accepted as an important evolutionary force, but the genetic factors Received: 27 January 2017 and the life history implications afecting the existence and abundance of polyploid lineages within Accepted: 18 May 2018 species are still poorly known. Polyploidy has been mainly studied in plant model species in which the Published: xx xx xxxx sporophyte is the dominant phase in their life history. In this study, we address such questions in a novel system (Porphyra, red algae) where the gametophyte is the dominant phase in the life history. Three Porphyra species (P. dioica, P. umbilicalis, and P. linearis) were used in comparisons of ploidy levels, genome sizes and genetic diferentiation using fow cytometry and 11 microsatellite markers among putative polyploid lineages. Multiple ploidy levels and genome sizes were found in Porphyra species, representing diferent cell lines and comprising several cytotype combinations among the same and diferent individuals. In P. linearis, genetic diferentiation was found among three polyploid lineages: triploid, tetraploid and mixoploids, representing diferent evolutionary units. We conclude that the gametophytic phase (n) in Porphyra species is not haploid, contradicting previous theories. New hypotheses for the life histories of Porphyra species are discussed. Polyploidy, the increase in genome size by the acquisition of more than one set of chromosomes has been a key factor in eukaryote evolution. In fact, most fowering plants and vertebrates descend from polyploid ancestors1. In angiosperms, many species have been suggested to have polyploid ancestry2.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date G /W;\ DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Porphyra yezoensis has been cultivated for centuries in Asia. Ocean-based operations, where the blade phase is grown attached to synthetic nets, and placed in the ocean for grow-out, are the norm. There are many problems associated with this type of cultivation, many of which could potentially be overcome by using land-based tanks for grow-out of blades. However before land-based mariculture can begin, research is needed into techniques for the production of blade suspension cultures, as well as into the nutritional requirements of free-floating blades.

[email protected] Abstract A new species of bladed Bangiales, Pyropia orbicularis sp. nov., has been described for the first time from the central coast of Chile based on morphology and molecular analyses. The new species was incorrectly known previously as Porphyra columbina (now Pyropia columbina), and it can be distinguished from other species of Pyropia through a range of morphological characteristics, including the shape, texture and colour of the thallus, and the arrangement of the reproductive structures on the foliose thalli. Molecular phylogenies based on both the mitochondrial COI and plastid rbcL gene regions enable this species to be distinguished from other species within Pyropia.
