Morphological, molecular, toxicological, and ecological characterization of Lingulaulax djiboutiensis sp. nov. from the Gulf of Aden (Djibouti) and the Gulf of California (Mexico)
As part of an exploration program aimed at studying the diversity of potentially toxic dinoflagellates in the coastal waters of Djibouti, located in the Gulf of Tadjoura (GT) at the junction between the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, a new species of the genus Lingulaulax (formerly known as Lingulodinium) was identified. This new species, designated Lingulaulax djiboutiensis sp. nov., is supported by morphological and molecular data. The plate formula, APC (Po, X, cp), 3ʹ, 3a*, 6ʹʹ, 6c, 6 s, 6ʹʹʹʹ, 2ʹʹʹʹʹʹ, is characteristic of the genus Lingulaulax. L. djiboutiensis sp. nov. can be distinguished morphologically from L. polyedra: (i) individuals of L. djiboutiensis sp. nov. (L: 34.8 ± 1.9 μm, W: 34.7 ± 1.9 μm, L:W ratio of 1.06 ± 0.9) are slightly smaller and more compressed than those of L. polyedra; (ii) in L. djiboutiensis sp. nov., plate 1a contacts the apical pore complex (APC); (iii) the cingulum of L. djiboutiensis sp. nov. (ranging from 2.4 to 3.9 µm) is wider than that of L. polyedra (ranging from 1.8 to 2.8 µm); and (iv) the diameter of the trichocyst pores of L. djiboutiensis sp. nov. (ranging from 0.55 to 1.05 µm) is smaller than that observed in L. polyedra (ranging from 0.94 to 1.33 µm). Phylogenetic analyses based on LSU and ITS ribosomal DNA sequences revealed that L. djiboutiensis sp. nov., belongs to a distinct clade, sister to and separate from L. polyedra, supported by high bootstrap values and Bayesian inferences (BI = 1.00 and ML = 100). The intra-species evolutionary divergence between the two strains of L. djiboutiensis from the Gulf of California (Mexico) and the Gulf of Aden (GA) is remarkably low, with a rate of 0 % in the LSU region and 0.03 % in the ITS region. In contrast, the evolutionary divergence between L. djiboutiensis and L. polyedra is more pronounced, reaching 0.05 % for the LSU region and 0.15 % for the ITS region, thereby highlighting a significant phylogenetic separation between these two species. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that L. djiboutiensis is non-toxic. Additionally, spatiotemporal studies in the GT have shown that this species is present throughout the year, peaking in abundance at the end of summer.
