The complete mitochondrial genome of a Green macroalgae species: Ulva meridionalis (Ulvales: Ulvaceae).

ABSTRACT: Ulva meridionalis, a green macroalgae, is one of the causal species for green tides in Japan and spread into the coast of China. During this research, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of U. meridionalis. The mitogenome is 62,887 bp in length, including 28 encoding genes and 29 tRNA genes. Compared with the Ulva species from mitogenome, the gene order and organization of this mitogenome are similar to most of other determined Ulva mitogenomes, with the nucleotide base composition of A 33.6%, T 32.2%, C 16.2%, and G 18.0%. Phylogenetic analysis shows U. meridionalis is closely related to Ulva flexuosa.

Tandem integration of circular plasmid contributes significantly to the expanded mitochondrial genomes of the green-tide forming alga Ulva meridionalis (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).

Project description:Comparative mitogenomics of Ulva species have revealed remarkable variations in genome size due to the integration of exogenous DNA fragments, the proliferation of group I/II introns, and the change of repeat sequences. The genus Ulva is a species-rich taxonomic group, containing a variety of green-tide forming algae. In this study, five complete mitogenomes of the green-tide forming macroalga, Ulva meridionalis R. Horimoto and S. Shimada, were assembled and compared with the available ulvophyceae mtDNAs. The main circular mitogenomes of U. meridionalis ranged from 82.94 to 111.49 kb in size, and its 111.49-kb mitogenome was the largest Ulva mitogenome sequenced so far. The expansion of U. meridionalis mitogenomes is mainly due to the tandem integration of a 5.36-kb mitochondrial circular plasmid (pUme), as well as the proliferation of introns. An intact DNA-directed RNA polymerase gene (rpo) was present in pUme of U. meridionalis and was then detected in two putative plasmids (pUmu1 and pUmu2) found in Ulva mutabilis. The observed integration of the circular plasmid into U. meridionalis mitogenomes seems to occur via homologous recombination, and is a more recent evolutionary event. Many highly homologous sequences of these three putative plasmids can be detected in the other Ulva mtDNAs sequenced thus far, indicating the integration of different mitochondrial plasmid DNA into the mitogenomes is a common phenomenon in the evolution of Ulva mitogenomes. The random incidence of destruction of plasmid-derived rpos and open reading frames (orfs) suggests that their existence is not the original characteristic of Ulva mitogenomes and there is no selective pressure to maintain their integrity. The frequent integration and rapid divergence of plasmid-derived sequences is one of the most important evolutionary forces to shape the diversity of Ulva mitogenomes.

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).

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.

Green Synthesis of CuO Nanoparticles from Macroalgae Ulva lactuca and Gracilaria verrucosa.

Project description:Macroalgae seaweeds such as Ulva lactuca and Gracilaria verrucosa cause problems on the northern coast of the Italian Adriatic Sea because their overabundance hinders the growth of cultivated clams, Rudatapes philippinarum. This study focused on the green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles from U. lactuca and G. verrucosa. The biosynthesized CuO NPs were successfully characterized using FTIR, XRD, HRTEM/EDX, and zeta potential. Nanoparticles from the two different algae species are essentially identical, with the same physical characteristics and almost the same antimicrobial activities. We have not investigated the cause of this identity, but it seems likely to arise from the reaction of Cu with the same algae metabolites in both species. The study demonstrates that it is possible to obtain useful products from these macroalgae through a green synthesis approach and that they should be considered as not just a cause of environmental and economic damage but also as a potential source of income.
