Their diminutive size conceals surprising levels of genetic diversity and defies classical species’ descriptions. We present a detailed analysis within the genus Ostreococcus and show that morphological characteristics cannot be used to describe diversity within this group. Karyotypic analyses of the best-characterized species O. tauri show it to carry two chromosomes that vary in size between individual clonal lines, probably an evolutionarily ancient feature that emerged before species’ divergences within the Mamiellales.

Nearly all algae enhance their carbon assimilation by operating a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) built around an organelle called the pyrenoid, whose protein composition is largely unknown. Here, we developed tools in the model alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to determine the localizations of 135 candidate CCM proteins, and physical interactors of 38 of these proteins. Our data reveal the identity of 89 pyrenoid proteins, including Rubisco-interacting proteins, photosystem I assembly factor candidates and inorganic carbon flux components. We identify three previously un- described protein layers of the pyrenoid: a plate-like layer, a mesh layer and a punctate layer.

    The ISME Journal (2016) 10, 2767–2772 © 2016 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/16 www.nature.com/ismej SHORT COMMUNICATION Is chloroplastic class IIA aldolase a marine enzyme? Hitoshi Miyasaka1, Takeru Ogata1, Satoshi Tanaka2, Takeshi Ohama3, Sanae Kano4, Fujiwara Kazuhiro4,7, Shuhei Hayashi1, Shinjiro Yamamoto1, Hiro Takahashi5, Hideyuki Matsuura6 and Kazumasa Hirata6 1Department of Applied Life Science, Sojo University, Kumamoto, Japan; 2The Kansai Electric Power Co., Environmental Research Center, Keihanna-Plaza, Kyoto, Japan; 3School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Kochi University of Technology, Kochi, Japan; 4Chugai Technos Corporation, Hiroshima, Japan; 5Graduate School of Horticulture, Faculty of Horticulture, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan and 6Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan Expressed sequence tag analyses revealed that two marine Chlorophyceae green algae, Chlamydo- monas sp. W80 and Chlamydomonas sp. HS5, contain genes coding for chloroplastic class IIA aldolase (fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase: FBA). These genes show robust monophyly with those of the marine Prasinophyceae algae genera Micromonas, Ostreococcus and Bathycoccus, indicating that the acquisition of this gene through horizontal gene transfer by an ancestor of the green algal lineage occurred prior to the divergence of the core chlorophytes (Chlorophyceae and Treboux- iophyceae) and the prasinophytes. The absence of this gene in some freshwater chlorophytes, such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Volvox carteri, Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella variabilis and Coccomyxa subellipsoidea, can therefore be explained by the loss of this gene somewhere in the evolutionary process. Our survey on the distribution of this gene in genomic and transcriptome databases suggests that this gene occurs almost exclusively in marine algae, with a few exceptions, and as such, we propose that chloroplastic class IIA FBA is a marine environment-adapted enzyme.

Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Chlamydomonas (Volvocales, Chlorophyceae) is a large polyphyletic genus that includes numerous species that should be classified into independent genera. The present study aimed to examine the authentic strain of Chlamydomonas meslinii and related strains based on morphological and molecular data. All the strains possessed an asteroid chloroplast with a central pyrenoid and hemispherical papilla; however, they were different based on cell and stigmata shapes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on 18S rDNA, atpB, and psaB indicated that the strains represented a distinct subclade in the clade Chloromonadinia. The secondary structure of ITS-2 supported the separation of the strains into four species.

Niyogi, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California, Berkeley, CA, and approved August 16, 2017 (received for review April 28, 2017) Some microalgae are adapted to extremely acidic environments in pumps that biotransform arsenic and archaeal ATPases, which which toxic metals are present at high levels. However, little is known probably contribute to the algal heat tolerance (8). In addition, the about how acidophilic algae evolved from their respective neutrophilic reduction in the number of genes encoding voltage-gated ion ancestors by adapting to particular acidic environments. To gain channels and the expansion of chloride channel and chloride car- insights into this issue, we determined the draft genome sequence rier/channel families in the genome has probably contributed to the of the acidophilic green alga Chlamydomonas eustigma and per- algal acid tolerance (8).

Previous studies have typically reconstructed the phylogenetic relationship between colonial volvocine algae based on chloroplast or nuclear genes. Here, we explore the validity of phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial protein-coding genes. Wefound phylogenetic incongruence of the genera Yamagishiella and Colemanosphaera. In Yamagishiella, the stochastic error and linkage group formed by the mitochondrial protein-coding genes prevent phylogenetic analyses from reflecting the true relationship. In Colemanosphaera, a different reconstruction approach revealed a different phylogenetic relationship. This incongruence may be because of the influence of biological factors, such as incomplete lineage sorting or horizontal gene transfer. We also analyzed the substitution rates in the mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes between colonial volvocine algae.
