Nature Communications, 2022 “Ulvophyceae is a remarkably morphologically and ecologically diverse clade of green algae. Here, the authors reconstruct the Ulvophyceae phylogeny, showing that these algae originated earlier than expected and may have influenced biogeochemical cycles ...

Mitochondrial genomes and phylogenomic analysis of Ulva lactuca Linnaeus (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Two mitogenomes of Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, one from Florida, USA and another nearly complete mtDNA from Chile, had previously been sequenced. Here, the complete mitogenome of U. lactuca from Shantou, China was sequenced and compared with them.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Species belonging to Ulva (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) are one of the major members of invasive seaweeds. Ulva californica Wille 1899 was originally believed to be native to the Pacific coast of North America, while in recent years it has been reported as ...

Examining Short Temporal Changes in Intertidal Macroalgal Microbiomes at 'Ewa Beach, O'Ahu, Hawai'i: Some Hosts Varied While Others Remained Stable. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepWe examined microbiome variability in seven macroalgal species over 5 days at an intertidal bench in 'Ewa Beach, O'ahu, Hawai'i. Microbial communities of some red and brown algae fluctuated, whilst green algae remained stable. Temporal patterns varied by species and potentially by differences in intertidal positioning and exposure to environmental ...

Diversity, Community Assemblage, and Environmental Determinants of Phytoplankton in a Subtropical Transboundary Coastal River. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined spatial and seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton communities in the Dakatia River, identifying 37 genera across six major taxonomic classes, with Bacillariophyceae being the most dominant. Seasonal peaks in phytoplankton abundance and diversity indices indicated higher richness and evenness during winter, while multivariate analyses ...

RNAi reveals a unique set of kinesins mediating chloroplast motility in the giant cytoplasm of Bryopsis (Ulvophyceae), a coenocytic green alga. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for protein knockdown and is widely used in model animals and plants. Here, we implemented RNAi in Bryopsis, a green feather alga that develops a coenocytic thallus >10 cm in length without cytokinesis.

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.

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 organism.

Early skeletal colonization of the coral holobiont by the microboring Ulvophyceae Ostreobium sp. [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Ostreobium sp. (Bryopsidales, Ulvophyceae) is a major microboring alga involved in tropical reef dissolution, with a proposed symbiotic lifestyle in living corals.
