褐藻纲海带目Laminaria属和Saccharina属基于三个分子标记的系统发育分析

In the past two decades, many studies have focused on the classification within genus Laminaria, ultimately trying to divide it into two subgroups or genera: Laminaria and Saccharina. A significant debate still surrounds the question of its division, as the conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses that have resulted from the classification studies are based on different taxon sampling, molecular markers, or analysis methods. It is aimed at elucidate the molecular phylogeny within Laminaria and Saccharina. The nine species of Laminariales are sampled from northern Asia and Europe, and 23 new sequences in the nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomes are determined to identify their taxonomic status. The phylogenetic analyses of 71 species are performed, including representatives from six of the seven families of the order Laminariales, based on three separate data sets. An evidence is provided to strongly support a clear split that maintains the two recognized genera, Laminaria and Saccharina, with Laminaria appearing to be the ancestor group. Further, analyses indicate that all taxa in Saccharina and Laminaria did not form a monophyletic lineage, instead Laminariaceae and Lessoniaceae grouped together interlacedly, and Costariaceae appeared as the sister taxon of the Lessoniaceae–Laminariaceae clade. In the phylogenetic analysis, mitochondrial c oxidase I(COI) sequences appeared to be the most credible molecular marker which was more befitting than nuclear encoded internal transcribed spacer(ITS) and plastid encoded rbcL for establishment of Laminariales systematics. It is the most comprehensive phylogeny of the order Laminariales, and contributes to an enhanced understanding and estimation of the phylogenetic relationships for the economically important seaweeds, Laminaria and Saccharina.

Analysis of symbiotic Symbiodinium in scleractinian corals off Northwestern Kish Island,Persian Gulf

The genus Symbiodinium plays an essential role in the resistance and survival of reef‐building corals during temperature anomalies. Coral colonies inhabiting the Persian Gulf (PG) experience extended periods of different stresses. Kish Island is located in the harsh environment of the Northern PG with previously reported bleaching episodes. Samples of six coral species from Northwestern Kish Island were analysed by internal transcribed spacer 2 of ribosomal DNA to identify in hospite Symbiodinium populations. The results showed that lineage D of Symbiodinium was the most prevalent clade among different coral colonies, while clade C was only detected in symbiosis with a single coral species. However, the detected Symbiodinium subclades belonged to two host generalists. The predominance of the stress tolerant Symbiodinium trenchii and subclade C3 could suggest an acclimatization strategy to cope with the hostile environment of the PG.     

长松藻ITS序列特征及其系统进化分析

采用PCR扩增的方法获得了第一个松藻目物种长松藻(Codium cylindricum)的ITS序列,长松藻ITS全长515bp,其中ITS1的长度为74bp,5.8S序列长163bp,ITS2的长度为278bp.与已知的绿藻门其它5个目8个属物种的ITS序列的系统发育分析结果表明,绿藻门物种分为三大支,其中团藻目藻类为一支,松藻目和刚毛藻目藻类为一支,石莼目、顶管藻目和丝藻目藻类构成一大支;长松藻与刚毛藻目的刚毛藻属和硬毛藻属物种同为多核藻体,在系统发生上表现出更近的亲缘关系;不同绿藻目海藻的聚类关系表明,其能够准确地反映出其在单核与多核、单细胞与多细胞等生物结构特性方面的差异与水平.     

First record of Biecheleria cincta (Dinophyceae) from Chinese coasts, with morphological and molecular characterization of the strains

The presence of Biecheleria cincta (=Woloszynskia cincta) in the Chinese coasts is reported for the first time. In scanning electron microscope, three to five series of vesicles and an elongated apical vesicle (EAV) were visible in the epicone, and both the hypocone and the cingulum had three series of vesicles each. Thin sections revealed that B. cincta possesses stalked pyrenoids and an unusual eyespot consisting of a stack of cisternae with brick-like materials (type E), thus supporting its transfer from Woloszynskia to Biecheleria. Spiny cysts formed spontaneously in culture, with an encystment rate of around 20%. Both large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA) and internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) sequences in 12 strains from the Chinese coasts were determined. Phylogenetic analyses based on LSU rDNA and ITS sequences using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood revealed two distinct ribotypes (referred to as ribotype A and B) in B. cincta. ITS region pairwise distances within B. cincta ranged from 0.024 to 0.072, suggesting the existence of a complex of cryptic species.     

象山港养殖大黄鱼寄生新贝尼登虫成虫形态学和28S rDNA,ITS1分子鉴定

贝尼登类单殖吸虫是象山港海水养殖鱼类中一类危害严重的寄生虫。应用PCR扩增及DNA序列分析的分子生物学手段,并结合对成虫的形态学分析,对象山港养殖大黄鱼体表寄生的贝尼登类单殖吸虫(记作XSp)进行了种类鉴定,结果表明XSp从形态特征上属于新贝尼登虫属,与梅氏新贝尼登虫高度相似。扩增得到XSp的28S rDNA和ITS1序列长度分别为393和427 bp,与梅氏新贝尼登虫和鱾新贝尼登虫的5个28S rDNA 序列、2个ITS1序列的比对分析显示相似性除1个为97.4%外其余均大于99%,提示XSp与这几个鱾新贝尼登虫和梅氏新贝尼登虫为种内关系,而XSp与贝尼登虫的3个28S rDNA 和1个ITS1序列相似性分别为84.3%~89.5%和60.2%。系统进化树显示该吸虫与梅氏新贝尼登虫和鱾新贝尼登虫形成一个紧密的簇,而与贝尼登虫亲缘关系较远。根据普通生物学和序列特征分析,将XSp定种为梅氏新贝尼登虫,并且支持Whittington和Horton (1996)提出的梅氏新贝尼登虫和鱾新贝尼登虫为同种异名的分类观点。     

海湾扇贝与紫扇贝生殖隔离研究

对海湾扇贝(Argopecten irradians)和秘鲁紫扇贝(Argopecten purpuratus)进行了跨种间的杂交尝试,结果显示两个物种之间正向和反向均可受精和正常发育,没有发现合子前隔离,并且通过internal transcribed spacer 1(ITS1)标记验证了杂交的成功.至杂交子一代性成熟时通过对杂合子成熟性腺进行H.E.染色石蜡切片观察发现,雄性性腺明显退化且不能产生有活力的精子,雌性性腺发达且能形成外观正常卵子,但是却不能与亲本进行回交,即表现为典型的合子后隔离:杂种不育.
