Stenocincta are frequently observed in marine phytoplankton. To study species diversity within the section Stenocincta, monoclonal strains were established from Chinese coastal waters and Norwegian Sea. Following detailed morphological observations and molecular evidence inferred from nucleus-encoded large subunit ribosomal DNA, the descriptions of C. affinis and C. willei are emended based on isolates from their respective type localities. Additionally, three new species are described. Chaetoceros donghaiensis sp. nov. is characterized by short straight chains, with thin setae only, and terminal setae that tend to cross distally. Chaetoceros forceps sp. nov. is unique by its thick terminal setae, each with an inflation near the end, with each pair forming a V-shape, resembling forceps. Chaetoceros lepidus sp. nov. is characterized by short, straight chains, narrowly elliptical valve faces, setae all located in the apical plane, and arched intercalary setae in opposite directions to the chain axis in broad girdle views. Three other distinct clades, which may also represent new species, were discerned in the LSU rDNA phylogeny, but more morphological characters are needed before formal proposals can be made. These species/clades formed a well-supported monophyletic lineage, supporting the current circumscription of section Stenocincta. This section is characterized by colonies in straight chains, cells with one chloroplast only, narrow lanceolate apertures, and terminal setae generally thicker than intercalary ones or both similar and thin. However, in C. diversus the terminal setae are thin and distinctly thicker pairs of intercalary setae are usual.KEYWORDS: MorphologyLSU rDNAChaetoceros affinisChaetoceros willeiChaetoceros donghaiensisChaetoceros forcepsChaetoceros lepidus DISCLOSURE STATEMENTNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Nature Science Foundation of China [32170206]; Joint Fund of National Science Foundation of China and Chinese Shandong Province [U2106205]; National Key Research and Development Program of China [2022YFC3105201].","PeriodicalId":20140,"journal":{"name":"Phycologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134949347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The taxonomy of Ulva is problematic due to its simple morphology. The study of the diversity of this genus has undergone great advances using molecular data, leading to changes in the taxonomic status of species, and the recognition of species complexes and cryptic species. Here we reassessed Ulva species from southeastern Brazil using molecular data. We recognized 10 taxa, among which only three previously reported species were confirmed by molecular data: U. compressa, U. lactuca and U. ohnoi, the latter recently recorded from insular waters in Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, northeastern Brazil. Our phylogenetic analyses and species delimitation methods strongly supported the establishment of Ulva kanagawae sp. nov. The species traditionally cited for southeastern Brazil, U. flexuosa, U. linza, U. rigida and U. paradoxa, proved to be misapplied names of U. tepida, U. aragoënsis, U. ohnoi/U. lactuca and U. torta, respectively. One taxon, Ulva sp., remains unnamed and needs further studies. Ulva chaugulei and U. tanneri, both considered here as cryptogenic species, are new occurrences for Brazil expanding their geographic distribution to the Atlantic Ocean and western Atlantic Ocean, respectively. In addition, our analysis of sequences from type materials revealed that U. pseudo-ohnoi is a heterotypic synonym of U. conglobata. This first systematic molecular study of Ulva species in Brazil points out that more extensive sampling is needed to reveal the true diversity of the genus in Brazilian waters.KEYWORDS: PhylogenyrbcLtaxonomytufA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe thank Joel Campos De-Paula, Renan Oliveira, Érico Atílio Teles, Mutue Toyota Fujii, Cristina Aparecida Nassar, Mateus Henrique Oliveira Pinto, Luanda Soares, Fábio Nauer, Maria Irisvalda L.

Six type specimens amplified for the rbcL gene and were Sanger sequenced yielding sequences ranging in length from 118 to 280 base pairs (bp). One, S. australasicum, failed to amplify and another, S. howei, was amplified for the psbA gene yielding a sequence 544 bp in length. The 118 bp long rbcL sequence of the lectotype of S. crassiramosum showed that it is a later, heterotypic synonym of S. molle. The rbcL sequences of type specimens of S. episoredion, S. schmidtii, S. sibogae and S. timorense ranged from 118 to 228 bp, and each is a distinct species. The 544 bp long psbA sequence of S. howei is also unique. The 280 bp long rbcL sequence of the lectotype of S. durum did not match any sequence with that name in any public repository, including the previously published complete plastome and mitogenome sequences. However, it was identical in sequence to a specimen in GenBank from the southern coast of Western Australia as well as several other sequences generated from field-collected specimens from the states of South Australia and Western Australia. The rhodolith specimens from New Zealand previously called S. durum are S. nodosum sp. nov. The species is endemic to New Zealand. The epilithic specimens from New Zealand previously called S. durum are S. immotum sp. nov., which is also found along the southeastern coast of Australia. Sporolithon crypticum sp. nov. is described from the southern coast of Western Australia. RAxML and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of Sporolithon psbA and rbcL sequences are congruent between the two plastid encoded genes.

Five strains representing three morphological variants of T. allenii, from three locations in the Sea of Japan, were investigated. The D8–D10 domain of LSU rDNA and rbcL of T. allenii were sequenced for the first time. Three morphological forms of T. allenii showed completely identical rbcL sequences and distinctly different nuclear rDNA sequences. The genetic differences between morphotypes were determined by the number of allelic variants of LSU rDNA, one of which was common to all studied strains. Two different types of the D1–D3 domain and three different types of the D8–D10 divergent domain were detected in the cultured strains of T. allenii. The three morphotypes are described in detail and compared. One allele of D1–D3 and one allele of D8–D10 were identified in the strains of T. allenii from two stations in Ussuri Bay. Two and three alleles of the D8–D10 domain were identified in the strains with an ambiguous morphotype and in T. allenii var. striata, respectively, from one station in Amur Bay. Subdivision of T. allenii into morphotypes based on morphology matched that based on molecular-genetic analyses using D8–D10 LSU rDNA. Caution is recommended in using LSU rDNA sequences and rbcL divergence as the principal criterion for delimiting and metabarcoding T. allenii varieties/morphotypes. The lack of genetic differentiation in rbcL, and the presence of clear intra-specific genetic differentiation among morphotypes in two regions of LSU rDNA suggest a link between morphological differences and the nuclear genome. The D8–D10 domain of LSU rDNA appears more suitable for discriminating morphotypes within T. allenii. The rbcL is an effective marker for recognizing T. allenii at species level, but not at infraspecific level.","PeriodicalId":20140,"journal":{"name":"Phycologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41668365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
