Abstract
SUMMARYThe siphonous, yellow–green alga Vaucheria piloboloides (Vaucheriales, Xanthophyceae) is the type species of the section Piloboloideae and is widely reported worldwide. Despite its taxonomic importance and broad range distribution, its detailed life cycle and molecular phylogenetic position are unknown. In the present study, we established culture strains of V. piloboloides collected from Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, and examined its morphology, life cycle and phylogenetic position based on rbcL sequences. The morphology of the gametangia and aplanosporangia (asexual sporangia) of our samples, along with their monoecious nature, resembled that of V. piloboloides from the Atlantic coast, including the type locality. The rbcL phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that our sample formed a clade with other Piloboloideae species, supporting the current sectional scheme of Vaucheria. Under culture conditions, our samples exhibited a monophasic life cycle. Development of gametangia was observed in any culture conditions, whereas development of aplanosporangia could be induced by low salinity (salinity = 24).
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
