The floristic survey ofUlvellaceae and Ctenocladaceae for Espirito Santo and Sao Paulo States seacoast were pefonned from material kept in culture and also, fixed in formaline. The material were collected along Espirito Santo's seacoast, in 1985 and from 2002 to 2004; in Rio Escuro and I1ha das Couves, Ubatuba, north seacost of Sao Paulo, in 2003. The outcomes brought out six species: Bo/boco/eon piliferum N. Pringsheim, Entocladia viridis Reinke, Pringsheimiella scutata (Reinke) Hohn. ex Marchewianka, Pseudendoclonium submarinum Wille, Stromatella monostrol11atica (P. Dangeard) Kommann & P.

The green tide in the Southern Yellow Sea which has been erupting continuously for 14 years. Dominant species of the free-floating Ulva in the early stage of macroalgae bloom were Ulva compressa, Ulva flexuosa, Ulva prolifera, and Ulva linza along the coast of Jiangsu Province. In the present study, we carried out comparative studies on complete mitochondrion genomes of four kinds of bloom-forming green algae, and provided standard morphological characteristic pictures of these Ulva species. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that U. linza is the closest sister species of U. prolifera. This study will be helpful in studying the genetic diversity and identification of Ulva species. 1 Introduction gradually [19].

  • 2004 University of Connecticut Storrs, CT
    Welcome Note and Information from the Co-Conveners We hope you will enjoy the NEAS 2004 meeting at the scenic Avery Point Campus of the University of Connecticut in Groton, CT. The last time that we assembled at The University of Connecticut was during the formative years of NEAS (12th Northeast Algal Symposium in 1973). Both NEAS and The University have come along way. These meetings will offer oral and poster presentations by students and faculty on a wide variety of phycological topics, as well as student poster and paper awards. We extend a warm welcome to all of our student members. The Executive Committee of NEAS has extended dormitory lodging at Project Oceanology gratis to all student members of the Society. We believe this shows NEAS members’ pride in and our commitment to our student members. This year we will be honoring Professor Arthur C. Mathieson as the Honorary Chair of the 43rd Northeast Algal Symposium. Art arrived with his wife, Myla, at the University of New Hampshire in 1965 from California. Art is a Professor of Botany and a Faculty in Residence at the Jackson Estuarine Laboratory of the University of New Hampshire. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master’s Degrees at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1965 he received his doctoral degree from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Over a 43-year career Art has supervised many undergraduate and graduate students studying the ecology, systematics and mariculture of benthic marine algae. He has been an aquanaut-scientist for the Tektite II and also for the FLARE submersible programs.

China Abstract: A new freshwater species of Ulvella, U. tongshanensis H. ZHU et G. LIU, is described from material collected from rocks under small waterfalls in Hubei Province, China. This unusual species differs from other species in the genus by the macroscopic and upright parenchymatous thalli, and by the particular habitat (most Ulvella species occur in marine environments). Phylogenetic analyses of plastid encoded rbcL and tufA, and nuclear 18S rDNA sequences, pointed towards the generic placement of U. tongshanensis and also showed a close relationship with two other freshwater species, Ulvella bullata (Jao) H. ZHU et G. LIU, comb. nov. and Ulvella prasina (Jao) H. ZHU et G. LIU, comb. nov. The latter two were previously placed in the genus Jaoa and are characterized by disc–shaped to vesicular morphology. Our study once again shows that traditionally used morphological characters are poor indicators for phylogenetic relatedness in morphologically simple algae like the Ulvellaceae.

  • DNA Barcoding of a New Record of Epi-Endophytic Green Algae Ulvella Leptochaete (Ulvellaceae, Chlorophyta) in India
    DNA barcoding of a new record of epi-endophytic green algae Ulvella leptochaete (Ulvellaceae, Chlorophyta) in India FELIX BAST* , SATEJ BHUSHAN and AIJAZ AHMAD JOHN Centre for Biosciences, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda 151 001, India *Corresponding author (Fax, +91 164 2430586; Email, [email protected]) Epi-endophytic green algae comprise one of the most diverse and phylogenetically primitive groups of green algae and are considered to be ubiquitous in the world’s oceans; however, no reports of these algae exist from India. Here we report the serendipitous discovery of Ulvella growing on intertidal green algae Cladophora glomerata and benthic red algae Laurencia obtusa collected from India. DNA barcodes at nuclear ribosomal DNA Internal Transcriber Spacer (nrDNA ITS) 1 and 2 regions for Indian isolates from the west and east coasts have been generated for the first time. Based on morphology and DNA barcoding, isolates were identified as Ulvella leptochaete. Phylogenetic reconstruction of concatenated dataset using Maximum Likelihood method differentiated Indian isolates from other accessions of this alga available in Genbank, albeit with low bootstrap support. Monophyly of Ulvella leptochaete was obvious in both of our phylogenetic analyses. With this first report of epi-endophytic algae from Indian territorial waters, the dire need to catalogue its cryptic diversity is highlighted and avenues of future research are discussed.

    PDF version Remove references Seaweeds of California (draft: Sun Nov 24 15:32:39 2019) This page provides current names for California seaweed species, including those whose names have changed since the publication of Marine Algae of California (Abbott & Hollenberg 1976). Both former names (1976) and current names are provided. This list is organized by group (green, brown, red algae); within each group are genera and species in alphabetical order. California seaweeds discovered or described since 1976 are indicated by an asterisk. This is a draft of an on-going project. If you have questions or comments, please contact Kathy Ann Miller, University Herbarium, University of California at Berkeley.
