ABSTRACTAnalysis of cyanobacterial diversity is an important step towards identifying new biological resources for production of bioactive compounds. In this study cyanobacterial surface coverage was assessed through satellite image analysis of Tehran drinking water reservoirs in late summer and early autumn of 2018. We also analysed freshwater cyanobacteria including seven local strains purified from surface water samples. Following a polyphasic taxonomic approach combining morphological and molecular methods the culturable strains were classified into Synechococcales and Oscillatoriales, representing at least three families and four genera. Similarity-based analysis of their partial 16S rRNA genes showed 93.4–97.0% sequence identity among the strains from different ecosystems. Considering 95–96% as the overall cut-off for discriminating bacterial species, strains UTMC6011 and UTMC6013 are likely to be new species. Physiological characterization of the new strains and nine others isolated previously by our group from another freshwater ecosystem led to identification of seven nitrogen-fixing, 11 sulphide-tolerant, three salt-tolerant and three heterotrophic strains. Further taxonomic analyses are needed to support investigation of their biotechnological potential.Highlights The biodiversity and physiology of cyanobacteria in the main drinking water reservoirs of the megacity, Tehran, were studied by remote sensing and sample analysis.Seven cyanobacterial strains were isolated from the two freshwater lakes.

摘要蓝藻多样性分析是寻找新的生物资源以生产生物活性化合物的重要一步。在本研究中,通过对2018年夏末秋初德黑兰饮用水水库的卫星图像分析,评估了蓝藻表面覆盖率。我们还分析了淡水蓝藻,包括从地表水样品中纯化的7种当地菌株。采用形态与分子相结合的多相分类学方法,将可培养菌株分为聚球菌科和振荡球菌科,至少隶属于3科4属。基于相似性分析的16S rRNA部分基因序列在不同生态系统菌株间的同源性为93.4 ~ 97.0%。考虑到95-96%的总体分界点是细菌种类的区分,菌株UTMC6011和UTMC6013很可能是新种。通过对新菌株和本课课组先前从另一个淡水生态系统中分离的9株菌株的生理特性分析,鉴定出7株固氮菌株、11株耐硫化物菌株、3株耐盐菌株和3株异养菌株。需要进一步的分类分析来支持对其生物技术潜力的调查。通过遥感和样本分析,对特大城市德黑兰主要饮用水水库中蓝藻的生物多样性和生理特征进行了研究。从两个淡水湖中分离出7株蓝藻菌株。对获得的16S rRNA基因序列进行相似性分析,与其他生态系统菌株的序列相似性为93.4 ~ 97.0%。这些淡水水库分离的蓝藻菌株包括7株固氮菌株、11株耐硫化物菌株、3株耐盐菌株和3株异养菌株。作者感谢Alexander V.

ABSTRACTSpecies identification in red algae poses significant challenges when relying solely on morphological characteristics. Consequently, the absence of molecular information often conceals misidentifications, cryptic diversity and introduced cryptic species. Within the genus Lophocladia, species have traditionally been delineated based on subtle morphological traits. Lophocladia trichoclados and Lophocladia lallemandii have been extensively documented in warm and temperate coastal regions, with the latter recognized as an invasive species in the Mediterranean. However, the molecular relationship between these species remains unexplored. To address this gap, a comprehensive taxonomic reevaluation of Lophocladia was conducted in the NE Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea. Through combined molecular and morphological analyses of 75 specimens, two distinct taxa of Lophocladia were identified within the study area. Sequences of the rbcL plastid gene unequivocally demonstrated that L. lallemandii and L. trichoclados are conspecific. Consequently, we propose the synonymization of L. lallemandii with L. trichoclados, which has nomenclatural priority. We report L. kuetzingii, a potentially introduced species from Australia, for the first time in the Macaronesian region of the North Atlantic. This finding underscores the importance of expanding red algal DNA datasets, as such efforts significantly enhance our ability to detect and discern introduced species. Additionally, this research highlights the existence of taxonomic uncertainties surrounding introduced species, even among those already classified as invasive.highlights Molecular tools reveal the synonymy of Lophocladia lallemandii with L. trichoclados.L. trichoclados is a widely distributed species in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Red Sea.L. kuetzingii is detected as a cryptic introduced species in the Macaronesian region.KEYWORDS: Algal bloomsCeramialescryptic introductionsinvasive speciesMacaronesiaMediterraneanrbcLRed Seataxonomy AcknowledgementsWe acknowledge L.

摘要单纯依靠形态特征对红藻进行物种鉴定具有重要的挑战性。因此,分子信息的缺失往往掩盖了错误的识别、隐性多样性和引入的隐性物种。在Lophocladia属内,物种传统上是根据细微的形态特征来划分的。trichoclados和Lophocladia lallemandii在温暖和温带沿海地区被广泛记录,后者被认为是地中海的入侵物种。然而,这些物种之间的分子关系仍未被探索。为了弥补这一空白,我们对东北大西洋、地中海和红海的Lophocladia进行了全面的分类重新评估。通过对75个标本的分子和形态分析,在研究区确定了两个不同的Lophocladia类群。rbcL质体基因序列明确表明lallmandii和L. trichoclados是同源的。因此,我们提出L. lallemandii与L. trichoclados同义,具有命名优先权。本文首次在北大西洋Macaronesian地区报道了一种可能来自澳大利亚的引种L. kuetzingii。这一发现强调了扩大红藻DNA数据集的重要性,因为这样的努力大大提高了我们检测和辨别引入物种的能力。此外,这项研究强调了引入物种的分类学不确定性,即使是那些已经被归类为入侵物种的物种。分子工具揭示了Lophocladia lallemandii与L. trichoclados.L.同义。三爪鱼广泛分布于大西洋、地中海和红海。kuetzingii是在马卡罗尼亚地区发现的一种隐种引种。关键词:海藻bloomsCeramialescryptic introductionsinvasive speciesMacaronesiaMediterraneanrbcLRed Seataxonomy AcknowledgementsWe承认l .

ABSTRACTTo decipher the dispersal range of the cosmopolitan green microalga Tetracystis vinatzeri, two airborne-collected strains were barcoded using the 18S ribosomal DNA gene (18S) and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I subunit (COI), and their survival capacities were investigated across a stepwise acidic to alkaline pH gradient. Genetic fingerprinting confirmed the identity of the strains as representing the same biological species. Investigations of the tolerance of T. vinatzeri to pH levels refined the delimitation of its ecological niche. T. vinatzeri showed optimal growth in freshwater habitats at pH 4.3–9.6 and strains could cope with exposure to slightly more acidic (down to 3.8) and alkaline (up to 10.4) conditions. However, organismal survival was drastically affected by exposure to pH < 3 and > 11. Morphological observations showed that T. vinatzeri could better cope with exposure to acidic pH, exhibiting less cell membrane damage. Genetic analysis showed that the two airborne strains shared the same haplotype, suggesting that they either originated from the same air mass or that the haplotype has a widespread distribution. Further phylogeographic and physiological investigations are required to define the spreading dynamic of T. vinatzeri.Highlights Tetracystis vinatzeri can grow at pH from 3.8–10.4.Strains from different habitats showed sexual compatibility.Low genetic diversity and cosmopolitan distribution suggest widespread dispersal.KEYWORDS: Chlorophyceaedispersalecologymicroalgaesurvival AcknowledgementsFlow cytometry was performed at the FACS Core Facility, Aarhus University, Denmark.

Further phylogeographic and physiological investigations are required to define the spreading dynamic of T. vinatzeri.Highlights Tetracystis vinatzeri can grow at pH from 3.8–10.4.Strains from different habitats showed sexual compatibility.Low genetic diversity and cosmopolitan distribution suggest widespread dispersal.KEYWORDS: Chlorophyceaedispersalecologymicroalgaesurvival AcknowledgementsFlow cytometry was performed at the FACS Core Facility, Aarhus University, Denmark.

ABSTRACTAlthough extraction of polysaccharides to convert reducing sugars (RS) from microalgae by acid or alkali pretreatments and enzymatic hydrolysis has been extensively studied, few reports exploring the use of high hydrostatic pressure processing (HHP) and ultrasonication (US) as emerging technologies for the extraction of sugars from microalgae biomass exist. Thus, the present study was conducted to determine the effects of mixotrophic growth and stress conditions (NaNO3 and CO2 concentration and light intensity) on RS and protein accumulation in the unicellular green alga Chlorella vulgaris in addition to optimization of the effectiveness of the sequential applications of HHP and US with dilute acid as well as simultaneous enzymatic saccharification on the production of RS from microalga cells. High light intensity, high CO2 concentration and limited nitrogen concentration promoted RS production. The maximum protein content (0.0683 mg g‒1) was achieved at 0.3 g l‒1 NaNO3 concentration, 7000 μmol photons m‒2 s‒1 and 6 l min‒1 CO2 concentration. The highest RS content of C. vulgaris after 48 h enzymatic saccharification (583.86 ± 13.23 mg g‒1) was obtained at 1% (w/w) acid concentration and 80% amplitude for 30 min with 79.4% RS yield. Combined US-assisted dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis were also found to be more effective than HHP assisted dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification. Therefore, microalgal biomass can be considered a suitable renewable feedstock used in fermentation.Highlights The cultivation period of Chlorella vulgaris was reduced from 25 days to 14 days using mixotrophic growing conditions.Mixotrophic conditions enhanced reducing sugar productivity.Novel extraction techniques enhanced the extraction of reducing sugar from microalgae.KEYWORDS: High hydrostatic pressure processinglight intensitymicroalgamixotrophic cultivationnitrogen starvationultrasonication AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the Innovative Food Technologies Development Application and Research Center (YENIGIDAM) of Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University (BAIBU) for HHP analyses, and I.

虽然通过酸或碱预处理和酶水解从微藻中提取多糖转化还原糖(RS)已经得到了广泛的研究,但利用高压流体静压处理(HHP)和超声波(US)作为从微藻生物质中提取糖的新兴技术的报道很少。因此,本研究旨在确定混合营养生长和胁迫条件(NaNO3、CO2浓度和光照强度)对单细胞绿藻小球藻RS和蛋白质积累的影响,并优化HHP和US与稀酸顺序施用以及同时酶糖化对微藻细胞RS生产的有效性。高光强、高CO2浓度和有限氮浓度促进了RS的生产。在0.3 g l - 1 NaNO3浓度、7000 μmol光子m-2 s-1和6 l min-1 CO2浓度下,蛋白质含量最高,为0.0683 mg g - 1。在1% (w/w)酸浓度、80%振幅条件下,发酵30 min,发酵48 h后粗糖含量最高(583.86±13.23 mg g-1),粗糖收率为79.4%。与HHP辅助的稀酸预处理和酶解相比,us辅助的稀酸预处理和酶解的效果更好。因此,微藻生物量可以被认为是一种适合用于发酵的可再生原料。在混合营养条件下,普通小球藻的培养周期由25天缩短为14天。混合营养条件提高了还原糖产量。新的提取技术提高了微藻中还原糖的提取效率。关键词:高压静水处理;光强;微藻异营养培养;;氮饥饿;披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。作者的贡献。Uzuner:进行研究和调查过程,具体进行实验,或数据/证据收集,形式分析(应用统计或数学技术分析或综合研究数据),撰写初稿(准备和/或创作已发表的作品,具体撰写初稿);G.A.

Oceanic phytoplankton species are generally composed of many strains, with intra-species diversity consisting of genetic and phenotypic variability. Despite its importance in ecological and biotechnological contexts, this intra-species diversity and variation among strains has been little studied. We investigated the intra-species diversity of the microalga Tisochrysis lutea, a haptophyte of the Isochrysidales order. Inter-strain diversity of T. lutea was studied because of the economic importance of the species as a feed in aquaculture and for antioxidant metabolite production, particularly fucoxanthin and other carotenoids, which have health benefits. We analysed Tara Ocean datasets which revealed that T. lutea was present in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans but not in the Arctic or Austral Oceans. We next made phenotypic and genotypic comparisons of 11 strains of T. lutea from worldwide algal collections. All strains were cultivated in the same controlled conditions for one week, and several phenotypic traits were measured, notably antioxidant content. In parallel, the genomes of each strain were sequenced, and genetic variants identified. At the genetic and phenotypic levels, the strains were distinct from each other and our analysis revealed natural trait variations of interest in relation to further exploitation in domestication programmes. A large number of genetic variations were identified among the strains, but no major differences in genome size were observed. Moreover, limited genetic structure was observed among these strains, which could be a consequence of the complex life history of species within the Isochrysidales. Our study provides new knowledge on the intra-species diversity that should be considered in future environmental studies and breeding programmes.
