Mitochondrial mRNA oligocitydylation occurs in Chlorophyceae and Ulvales but not Bryopsidales or Trebouxiophyceae. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Mitochondrial mRNAs in the green algal class Chlorophyceae have non‐template 3' oligo‐cytosine‐rich additions, also known as oligo(C), polycitydylation, or poly(C) “tails.” These oligonucleotide additions are believed to be unique to green algal mitochondria, as none have been observed in any other ...

Molecular phylogeny and comparative chloroplast genome analysis of the type species Crucigenia quadrata [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground The confused taxonomic classification of Crucigenia is mainly inferred through morphological evidence and few nuclear genes and chloroplast genomic fragments. The phylogenetic status of C.

Microsatellite Primers in the Lichen Symbiotic Alga Trebouxia decolorans (Trebouxiophyceae) [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2013 Premise of the study: Polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for the symbiotic green alga Trebouxia decolorans to study fine-scale population structure and clonal diversity.

Phylogenomics reveals the evolutionary origins of lichenization in chlorophyte algae [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsMutualistic symbioses have contributed to major transitions in the evolution of life. Here, we investigate the evolutionary history and the molecular innovations at the origin of lichens, which are a symbiosis established between fungi and green algae or

Broad Ecological Niche in Seashore Lichens Emerges From a Stable, Selective Association With Generalist Algal Symbionts. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn mutualistic symbioses, partner flexibility often broadens the host ecological niche. We found a stable association between littoral lichens and their algal symbionts along a natural salinity gradient, suggesting that the broad ecological niche can be facilitated by association with a single generalist symbiont.

Dynamic Evolution of the Chloroplast Genome in the Green Algal Classes Pedinophyceae and Trebouxiophyceae [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2015 Previous studies of trebouxiophycean chloroplast genomes revealed little information regarding the evolutionary dynamics of this genome because taxon sampling was too sparse and the relationships between the sampled taxa were unknown. We recently sequenced the chloroplast genomes of 27 trebouxiophycean and 2 pedinophycean green algae to resolve the ...

Micractinium tetrahymenae (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta), a New Endosymbiont Isolated from Ciliates [PDF]
Diversity, 2020 Endosymbiosis between coccoid green algae and ciliates are widely distributed and occur in various phylogenetic lineages among the Ciliophora. Most mixotrophic ciliates live in symbiosis with different species and genera of the so-called Chlorella clade (

A Minority of Desert Cyanobacteria and Algae Is Responsible for the Bulk of CO<sub>2</sub> Fixation. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Cyanobacteria and algae are the major photosynthetic organisms in deserts because they survive desiccation, high solar radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations better than other plants. Under favourable conditions, desert cyanobacteria and algae evidently photosynthesise.

The chromosome-level genome sequences of the freshwater sponge, Spongilla lacustris (Linnaeus, 1759) and the chlorophyte cobiont Choricystis sp., and the associated microbial metagenome sequences [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open ResearchWe present a genome assembly from an individual Spongilla lacustris (freshwater sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Spongillida; Spongillidae). The genome sequence is 248.7 megabases in span.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the photobiont microalga Trebouxia sp. 'A48' from the lichen Xanthoria parietina. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Lichens are symbiotic assemblies consisting of multiple organisms, chiefly a fungus and a photosynthetic microorganism, or photobiont. Among diverse photobionts, the most prevalent is the chlorophyte alga Trebouxia. We produced a chromosome‐level assembly of Trebouxia sp. ‘A48’, a photobiont of Xanthoria parietina. The genome was assembled into
