Exogenous sources of antioxidants are also necessary to cope with high levels of free radicals. Microalgae are rich sources of diverse metabolites with high antioxidant potential. In this study, metabolites of Hindakia tetrachotoma ME03, a green microalga previously isolated from thermal springs in Türkiye, were chemically fractionated using four solvents (ethanol-water, ethyl acetate, hexane and water). The extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant capacities, total phenolics, flavonoids and carotenoids. The highest antioxidant capacity, phenolic and carotenoid contents were obtained in the ethanol-water extracts. The antioxidant capacity in the ethanol-water extracts was measured as 12.42 ± 1.21 μmol Trolox g–1 DW and 67.98 ± 3.45 μmol Trolox g–1 DW by DPPH and FRAP assays, respectively. Twelve different phenolic compounds in the ethanol-water and ethyl acetate extracts were quantified by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. Quercetin and rutin were the most abundant phenolics in the ethanol-water extracts, whereas the ethyl acetate extract was rich in phenolic precursor, benzoic acid. Finally, the cytoprotective effect of ethanol-water extracts of H. tetrachotoma ME03 against H2O2-induced oxidative damage was investigated using an in vitro cell line model of human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7). Hindakia tetrachotoma ME03 extracts significantly decreased the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and the percentage of apoptotic and necrotic cells in MCF7 cells. These findings suggest the strong cytoprotective activity of H. tetrachotoma ME03 extracts, which may be conferred by its antioxidative properties.","PeriodicalId":20140,"journal":{"name":"Phycologia","volume":"62 1","pages":"293 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44072308","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}

Here, the nutrient (NO3– and PO4–3) uptake physiologies of two branched macroalgae, Actinotrichia fragilis (Nemaliophycidae) and Amphiroa fragilissima (Corallinophycidae), and the non-geniculate rhodolith Sporolithon sp. (Corallinophycidae) were examined. Sporolithon sp. had the lowest uptake rate through time and the three calcified macroalgae had a surge in NO3– and PO4–3 uptake that occurred between 3 and 20 min, with a maximum uptake at 3 min, after which the nutrient uptake rates declined. The NO3– uptake of the three calcified macroalgae followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. For NO3– uptake, Sporolithon sp. had the lowest Km (2.72 ± 0.97 µM), Vmax (0.08 ± 0.01 µmol gDW–1 h–1), Vmax/Km (0.05 ± 0.03 µmol gDW–1 h–1 µM−1) and α (0.01 ± 0.00 µmol gDW–1 h–1 µM−1), while A. fragilis had the highest Km (12.35 ± 0.71 µM) and Vmax (6.41 ± 0.23 µmol gDW–1 h–1), and A. fragilissima had the highest Vmax/Km (1.52 ± 0.26 µmol gDW–1 h–1 µM−1) and α (0.37 ± 0.01 µmol gDW–1 h–1 µM−1). Moreover, the PO4–3 uptake rate of the three species was faster at higher PO4–3 levels. These differences in species-specific nutrient uptake traits are likely caused by differences in morphology. These traits are important for survival and proliferation of this group of marine organisms, particularly in a nutrient-variable environment.","PeriodicalId":20140,"journal":{"name":"Phycologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45000568","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}

There are currently 71 recognized Cryptomonas species but these can be difficult to identify by cellular morphology alone. This makes estimation of Cryptomonas diversity from environmental samples challenging as it requires culturing of strains followed by sequencing of genetic markers for clear identifications. In this paper we describe the isolation and culture of Cryptomonas pyrenoidifera from a small ephemeral pool in Southwestern Virginia, USA, with an annual recurrent population of this genus. Genomic resources from this isolate, including complete chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes, and nuclear and nucleomorph rRNA regions, were completed and archived. Metabarcoding, using lineage-directed primers designed to amplify the ITS2 region of Cryptomonas, was used to estimate an intra-specific variation of 99.3% for the C. pyrenoidifera ITS2 barcode from this natural environment. Metabarcoding also revealed that at least twelve phylogenetic species were present in this body of water. Our results provide new genomic resources for C. pyrenoidifera and suggest that metabarcoding with the ITS2 marker is a feasible approach to estimating Cryptomonas diversity and identification.","PeriodicalId":20140,"journal":{"name":"Phycologia","volume":"62 1","pages":"280 - 291"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44392993","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}

However, the only freshwater alga for which this approach has been applied on a Eurasian scale is the endangered green alga Aegagropila linnaei, which is thought to be a poor disperser. Previous phylogeographic results were explained by stepwise dispersal across the Holarctic from an ancestral area in Japan, with further survival in European ice-dammed glacial lakes and extinction in continental Siberia, which lacks such refugia. To clarify the biogeography of A. linnaei in Eurasia we supplemented the published data on its ribotype (internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA) distribution with data from previously unexplored East Europe, Mongolia and the Russian Far East. We have found two new ribotypes, one scattered across temperate Europe and another confined to one locality in the north-eastern Russian Far East. We also expanded the distribution of a ribotype previously reported from Scotland and continental West Europe to include East Europe, Iceland and Central Mongolia. Phylogeogeographic approach based on enhanced sampling allowed us to refine the biogeography of A. linnaei. We discuss reasons for underestimation of A. linnaei dispersal potential. A focused inventory of A. linnaei will likely reveal new localities of the species enabling a further improvement in biogeographical reconstructions. Area-wide studies of other freshwater algae in Eurasia need to be performed to test the generality of the revealed biogeographical patterns.","PeriodicalId":20140,"journal":{"name":"Phycologia","volume":"62 1","pages":"277 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44040403","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 epitheca is smaller than the hypotheca and the cingulum is ascending, about 3× its width. The thecal plate pattern is unusual and interpreted as APC, 4ʹ, 3a, 7ʹʹ, 5c, 4s, 6ʹʹʹ, 2ʹʹʹʹ. The APC comprises a narrow Po plate with a slit opening, located on the right-dorsal side, and it is covered by a projection of the first apical plate. Morphologically, the plate pattern has some affinities with Amphidiniella sedentaria, a sand-dwelling dinoflagellate species of roughly the same size and gross outline. However, the two taxa differ from each other in shape, size of epitheca and organization of the APC. They possess the same number of apical, precingular, postcingular and antapical plates but their relative sizes, shapes and especially the arrangement differs. Molecular phylogeny inferred from concatenated ribosomal genes reveals that C. sabulosa forms a well supported clade in the core dinoflagellates, but it is not related to any other existing taxa and diverges widely from A. sedentaria.
