A comparative analysis of COI, LSU and UPA marker data for the Hawaiian florideophyte Rhodophyta: implications for DNA barcoding of red algae
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 290 florideophyte samples from the Hawaiian Rhodophyta Biodiversity Survey, spanning 17 orders of red algae, were sequenced for the mitochondrial COI DNA barcode, partial nuclear LSU rRNA gene, and plastid UPA rRNA marker. COI was A-T rich (> 60% overall) in comparison to the two rRNA markers, and was also the least conserved, with the third codon position showing the most substitution. Saturation was reached at F84 distances of approximately 0.11 for COI and 0.30 for LSU, but not at all for UPA, and some differences were found when orders or groups of families were individually examined. Rates of sequencing success for the three markers ranged from 46.8% for COI to 64.7% for UPA and 79.6% for LSU, indicating substantial differences in ease of data acquisition. Concatenation of marker sequences starting with the least saturated marker (UPA), and adding in order of degree of saturation (UPA+LSU, followed by UPA+LSU+COI) resulted in a strong increase in bootstrap support with neighbor-joining analysis, indicating that some phylogenetic utility can be gained from barcode-like sequences that are obtained for biodiversity surveys. COI / diversity / DNA barcode / Hawaii / LSU / Rhodophyta / UPA Résumé – Le code-barres mitochondrial ADN COI, un segment partiel du gène rARN LSU et le marqueur plastidial rARN UPA, ont été séquencés sur un total de 290 échantillons de Florideophytes (représentant 17 ordres) issus du projet “Hawaiian Rhodophyta Biodiversity Survey”. Le marqueur COI est globalement plus riche en A-T (> 60 %) comparé aux deux autres marqueurs rARN, mais aussi le moins conservé, avec la troisième position des codons présentant une forte substitution. Sur la base d’un modèle F84, la saturation est atteinte à une distance d’environ 0,11 pour COI and 0,30 pour LSU, mais absente pour UPA, et certaines différences existent quand les ordres ou groupes de familles sont examinés individuellement. Le taux de réussite du séquençage pour les trois marqueurs varient de 46,8 % pour COI, 64,7 % pour UPA et 79,6 % pour LSU, indiquant des différences substantielles pour l’obtention de données. La concaténation successive des marqueurs, en démarrant du moins saturé (UPA), et en ajoutant LSU et COI par ordre de saturation (UPA + LSU, puis UPA + LSU + COI) conduit à une augmentation forte du soutien bootstrap par la méthode d’analyse du neighbor-joining, indiquant l’utilité phylogénétique de séquences courtes d’ADN (“barcode-like”) obtenues dans le cadre de projets d’exploration de la biodiversité.

Divergence time estimates and the evolution of major lineages in the florideophyte red algae
The Florideophyceae is the most abundant and taxonomically diverse class of red algae (Rhodophyta). However, many aspects of the systematics and divergence times of the group remain unresolved. Using a seven-gene concatenated dataset (nuclear EF2, LSU and SSU rRNAs, mitochondrial cox1, and plastid rbcL, psaA and psbA genes), we generated a robust phylogeny of red algae to provide an evolutionar...

DNA barcoding has been a major advancement in the field of taxonomy, seeing much effort put into the barcoding of wide taxa of organisms, macro and microalgae included. The mitochondrial-encoded cox1 and plastid-encoded rbcL has been proposed as potential DNA barcodes for rhodophytes, but are yet to be tested on the commercially important carrageenophytes Kappaphycus and Eucheuma. This study ga...

Coralline red algae are highly abunadant and well diversified in the well exposed carbonate deposits of the Lower Pliocene Shagra Formation at Wadi Wizer, Red Sea coast, Egypt. Lithostratigraphically, the Shagra Formation unconformably overlies the Late Miocene Marsa Alam Formation and underlies the Quaternary deposits. This carbonate facies is dominated by different assemblage of coralline red...
