Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 To gain more insights into the evolution of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes or mtDNAs) in the green macroalgal genus Ulva (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta), we sequenced seven Ulva mitogenomes from six species as well as one Percursaria mitogenome as ...

Evolution and Cytological Diversification of the Green Seaweeds (Ulvophyceae) [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2010 The Ulvophyceae, one of the four classes of the Chlorophyta, is of particular evolutionary interest because it features an unrivaled morphological and cytological diversity. Morphological types range from unicells and simple multicellular filaments to sheet-like and complex corticated thalli.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

A comparative test of the gamete dynamics theory for the evolution of anisogamy in Bryopsidales green algae [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Gamete dynamics theory proposes that anisogamy arises by disruptive selection for gamete numbers versus gamete size and predicts that female/male gamete size (anisogamy ratio) increases with adult size and complexity.

Distribution of pharmaceuticals in marine surface sediment and macroalgae (ulvophyceae) around Mombasa peri-urban creeks and Gazi Bay, Kenya. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res IntPollution in marine creeks has been increasing due to anthropogenic activities and has been a global concern. Limited research has been conducted on pharmaceuticals in marine sediment and macroalgae in African countries.
