Parachloroidium gen. nov. (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta), a novel genus of coccoid green algae from subaerial corticolous biofilms
The Watanabea clade of the Trebouxiophyceae included mostly unicellular coccoid microalgae that thrived in various terrestrial microhabitats. The diversity of these morphologically uniform microalgae was little known, and several new genus-level lineages had recently been described on the basis of molecular data. In this study, we provided a taxonomic description of a new trebouxiophycean genus...
متن کاملXylochloris irregularis gen. et sp. nov. (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta), a novel subaerial coccoid green alga
The phylogenetic diversity of subaerial coccoid green algae remains still poorly explored. We characterised in detail two unicellular green algae found on tropical trees in Singapore. Light microscopy revealed morphological identity of these two strains. Depending on the age of cultures, the cells were spherical to cylindrical, and ranged in size from 13.5 to 20.5 mm. Each cell contained a pyre...
متن کاملPhyllosiphon duini sp. nov. (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta), a species isolated from a corticolous phototrophic biofilm
The Watanabea clade of the Trebouxiophyceae includes unicellular coccoid green microalgae that mostly thrive in subaerial microhabitats. Recently, a number of new genera and species were described on the basis of the DNA sequence data and morphological observations. The peculiar genus Phyllosiphon, which forms a monophyletic clade within the Watanabea clade, is characterized by forming siphonou...
متن کاملDNA-Based Taxonomy in Ecologically Versatile Microalgae: A Re-Evaluation of the Species Concept within the Coccoid Green Algal Genus Coccomyxa (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta)
Coccomyxa is a genus of unicellular green algae of the class Trebouxiophyceae, well known for its cosmopolitan distribution and great ecological amplitude. The taxonomy of this genus has long been problematic, due to reliance on badly-defined and environmentally variable morphological characters. In this study, based on the discovery of a new species from an extreme habitat, we reassess species...
متن کاملUnraveling the Photoprotective Response of Lichenized and Free-Living Green Algae (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) to Photochilling Stress
Lichens and free-living terrestrial algae are widespread across many habitats and develop successfully in ecosystems where a cold winter limits survival. With the goal of comparing photoprotective responses in free-living and lichenized algae, the physiological responses to chilling and photochilling conditions were studied in three lichens and their isolated algal photobionts together as well ...
