Characterization of the chloroplast genome of Symbiochlorum hainanensis (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) and its phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: Symbiochlorum hainandiae S.Q. Gong & Z.Y. Li, 2018 is a unicellular green alga belonging to Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta, and plays important roles in coral reef ecosystem. In this study, high-throughput sequencing technology is used to sequence and assemble the chloroplast genome of S. hainandiae. The complete chloroplast genome of S. hainandiae was 158, 96 bp with the GC content of 32.86%. A total of 126 genes were identified, including 98 protein-coding genes, 26 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes. The inverted repeat region was lost in the complete chloroplast genome of S. hainandiae. The phylogenetic analysis supports that S. hainandiae is a new sister lineage to the genus Ignatius within the class Ulvophyceae.

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the marine microalga Symbiochlorum hainanensis (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).

Project description:Symbiochlorum hainanensis Gong et al. (2018). is a unicellular green alga belonging to Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta, and considered as an important species in coral-algae symbiont areas. In this study, we revealed firstly the mitochondrial genome sequence of the S. hainanensis. This mitochondrial genome was a circular DNA molecule of 59,508 bp, including 24 transfer RNA genes, 3 ribosomal RNA genes, and 31 protein-coding genes. The GC content of the genome was 35.4%. The phylogenetic tree suggested that S. hainandiae was a sister to the OUU clade within the class Ulvophyceae. The mitochondrial genome structure and gene content of S. hainanensis supported that S. hainanensis was a new unidentified green alga in Ulvophyceae.

Complete chloroplast genome of green tide algae Ulva flexuosa (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) with comparative analysis.

Project description:Ulva flexuosa, one kind of green tide algae, has outbroken in the Yellow Sea of China during the past ten years. In the present study, we sequenced the chloroplast genome of U. flexuosa followed by annotation and comparative analysis. It indicated that the chloroplast genomes had high conservation among Ulva spp., and high rearrangement outside them. Though U. flexuosa was closer to U. linza than U. fasciata in phylogenetic tree, the average Ka/Ks between U. flexuosa and U. linza assessed by 67 protein-coding genes was higher than those between U. flexuosa and other species in Ulva spp., due to the variation of psbZ, psbM and ycf20. Our results laid the foundation for the future studies on the evolution of chloroplast genomes of Ulva, as well as the molecular identification of U. flexuosa varieties.

Complete chloroplast genome of an invasive marine macroalga Ulva californica (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).

Project description: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 exotic species, or new record, in Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia, and Oceania. However, the paths of global dispersal of U. californica are unclear. In addition, the species boundary between U. californica and a related species is somewhat disputed. Here, we reported that the complete chloroplast genome of U. californica is 92,126 bp in size, harboring 96 genes (GenBank accession no. MZ561475). The overall base composition was A (37.9%), T (37.4%), C (12.3%), and G (12.4%), similar to those from other Ulva species. The phylogenomic analysis showed that although U. californica was genetically closer to Ulva aragoënsis (Bliding) Maggs 2018 in [Krupnik N et al., 2018], they were clearly distinguishable, supporting the recent opinion that they should be separated into different species. The chloroplast genome data of U. californica would provide plenty resources for phylogeography analysis and monitor on bioinvasion.

Phylogenomic analysis of the chloroplast genome of the green-tide forming macroalga Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).

Project description:Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus 1753 (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) is a marine green macroalga that is distributed on coasts of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in China. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of U. intestinalis was constructed and analyzed comparatively. The chloroplast genome of U. intestinalis is a 99,041-bp circular molecule that harbors a total of 112 genes including 71 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 26 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), three ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), three free-standing open reading frames (orfs) and nine intronic orfs, and ten introns in seven genes (atpA, infA, psbB, psbC, petB, rrnL, and rrnS). The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenomic analysis shows that U. intestinalis firstly groups with Ulva compressa, and then these two species together with the Ulva australis-Ulva fenestrata-Ulva rotundata subclade form a monophyletic clade, Ulva lineage II. U. intestinalis chloroplast genome is the only one in Ulva lineage II where the reversal of a collinear block of two genes (psbD-psbC) did not occur, and its genome structure is consistent with that of most chloroplast genomes in Ulva lineage I, indicating that the similarity of genome structure is not completely related to the genetic relationship of Ulva species. Our genomic data will facilitate the development of specific high-resolution chloroplast molecular markers for rapid identification of U. intestinalis, and help us understand its population diversity and genetic characteristics on a global scale.

Novel insights into chloroplast genome evolution in the green macroalgal genus Ulva (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).

Project description:To understand the evolutionary driving forces of chloroplast (or plastid) genomes (plastomes) in the green macroalgal genus Ulva (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta), in this study, we sequenced and constructed seven complete chloroplast genomes from five Ulva species, and conducted comparative genomic analysis of Ulva plastomes in Ulvophyceae. Ulva plastome evolution reflects the strong selection pressure driving the compactness of genome organization and the decrease of overall GC composition. The overall plastome sequences including canonical genes, introns, derived foreign sequences and non-coding regions show a synergetic decrease in GC content at varying degrees. Fast degeneration of plastome sequences including non-core genes (minD and trnR3), derived foreign sequences, and noncoding spacer regions was accompanied by the marked decrease of their GC composition. Plastome introns preferentially resided in conserved housekeeping genes with high GC content and long length, as might be related to high GC content of target site sequences recognized by intron-encoded proteins (IEPs), and to more target sites contained by long GC-rich genes. Many foreign DNA sequences integrated into different intergenic regions contain some homologous specific orfs with high similarity, indicating that they could have been derived from the same origin. The invasion of foreign sequences seems to be an important driving force for plastome rearrangement in these IR-lacking Ulva cpDNAs. Gene partitioning pattern has changed and distribution range of gene clusters has expanded after the loss of IR, indicating that genome rearrangement was more extensive and more frequent in Ulva plastomes, which was markedly different from that in IR-containing ulvophycean plastomes. These new insights greatly enhance our understanding of plastome evolution in ecologically important Ulva seaweeds.

The complete chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of the green macroalga Ulva sp. UNA00071828 (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).

Project description:Sequencing mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes has become an integral part in understanding the genomic machinery and the phylogenetic histories of green algae. Previously, only three chloroplast genomes (Oltmannsiellopsis viridis, Pseudendoclonium akinetum, and Bryopsis hypnoides) and two mitochondrial genomes (O. viridis and P. akinetum) from the class Ulvophyceae have been published. Here, we present the first chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes from the ecologically and economically important marine, green algal genus Ulva. The chloroplast genome of Ulva sp. was 99,983 bp in a circular-mapping molecule that lacked inverted repeats, and thus far, was the smallest ulvophycean plastid genome. This cpDNA was a highly compact, AT-rich genome that contained a total of 102 identified genes (71 protein-coding genes, 28 tRNA genes, and three ribosomal RNA genes). Additionally, five introns were annotated in four genes: atpA (1), petB (1), psbB (2), and rrl (1). The circular-mapping mitochondrial genome of Ulva sp. was 73,493 bp and follows the expanded pattern also seen in other ulvophyceans and trebouxiophyceans. The Ulva sp. mtDNA contained 29 protein-coding genes, 25 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes for a total of 56 identifiable genes. Ten introns were annotated in this mtDNA: cox1 (4), atp1 (1), nad3 (1), nad5 (1), and rrs (3). Double-cut-and-join (DCJ) values showed that organellar genomes across Chlorophyta are highly rearranged, in contrast to the highly conserved organellar genomes of the red algae (Rhodophyta). A phylogenomic investigation of 51 plastid protein-coding genes showed that Ulvophyceae is not monophyletic, and also placed Oltmannsiellopsis (Oltmannsiellopsidales) and Tetraselmis (Chlorodendrophyceae) closely to Ulva (Ulvales) and Pseudendoclonium (Ulothrichales).

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Caulerpa cupressoides (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta).

Project description:Caulerpa cupressoides (Vahl) C. Agardh is a widely distributed tropical green algae. The circular chloroplast genome was 130,895 bp in length, with a GC content of 34%. In total, 99 genes were identified and they were consisted of 63 coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 6 rRNA genes. This chloroplast genome did not show an obvious quadripartite structure. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. cupressoides, C. racemosa, and Tydemania expeditionis were close relatives, with high bootstrap values. The characterized complete chloroplast genome of C. cupressoides will provide essential date for further studies of Bryopsidales.

The first complete chloroplast genome in Engelhardia sensu stricto, Engelhardia hainanensis Chen: genome characterization and its phylogenetic relationships within the family Juglandaceae.

Project description:Trees of Engelhardia are important components of subtropical and tropical forests in South-eastern Asia with great ecological and economic values. However, phylogenetic relationships within Engelhardioideae (Juglandaceae) remains obscure. In this study, we report the first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Engelhardia sensu stricto, Engelhardia hainanensis Chen, a rare species endemic in southern China. Its complete chloroplast genome is 161,574 bp in length, with a typical quadripartite structure that includes a large single-copy region of 91,158 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,790 bp, and its GC content is 35.8%. A total of 128 genes were identified, including 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Furthermore, a phylogenetic tree of Juglandaceae was constructed based the complete chloroplast genome sequence, which strongly support the three-subfamily classification system in Juglandaceae, and E. hainanensis was resolved sister to two Alfaropsis species. This study provides valuable genomic information for the species identification and phylogenetic study of Juglandaceae.

The chloroplast genome of Cerasus humilis: Genomic characterization and phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:Cerasus humilis is endemic to China and is a new fruit tree species with economic and environmental benefits, with potential developmental and utilization applications. We report the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. humilis. Its genome is 158,084 bp in size, and the overall GC content is 36.8%. An inverted repeats (IR) of 52,672 bp in size is separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,374 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,038 bp. The chloroplast genome of C. humilis contains 131 genes including 90 protein-coding genes, 33 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The genome has a total 510 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Of these, 306, 149, and 55 were found in the LSC, IR, and SSC regions, respectively. In addition, a comparison of the boundaries of the LSC, SSC, and IR regions of ten other Prunus species exhibited an overall high degree of sequence similarity, with slight variations in the IR boundary region which included gene deletions, insertions, expansions, and contractions. C. humilis lost the ycf1 gene at the IRA/SSC border and it has the largest ycf1 gene at the IRB/SSC border among these Prunus species, whereas the rps19 gene was inserted at the IRB/LSC junction. Furthermore, phylogenetic reconstruction using 61 conserved coding-protein genes clustered C. humilis with Prunus tomentosa. Thus, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. humilis provides a rich source of genetic information for studies on Prunus taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolution, as well as lays the foundation for further development and utilization of C. humilis.
