Saccharina japonica is an economically important alga worldwide as a source of of alginate, mannitol and iodine etc. China contributes 60 % of S. japonica production volume and 90 % of its alginate globally. Like the land crops, S. japonica is also plagued by diseases initi- ated by causative bacteria, fungi or viruses. In this article, we review investigations over the last 50 years on microbial diseases in nursery and fi eld-cultivated S. japonica in China, including the etilology of two different sources of diseases occurring in S. japonica cultivation, the prev- alence of causative alginic acid-decomposing bacteria and the recent progress in the under- standing of innate immunity mechanisms of S. japonica. Meanwhile, we highlight the questions for future research and advocate that researchers from different disciplines apply traditional technologies and newly emerging ones to elucidate the S. japonica microbial diseases. The full understanding of interactions between S. japonica, causative bacteria and environmental fac- tors will help to develop management strategies for preventing and mitigating the disease out- breaks in S. japonica aquaculture in the long term.

The morphology, toxicity and partial sequences of beta and alpha subunits including the intergenic spacer (cpcBA-IGS) of the phycocyanin operon were studied in 21 strains of nonaxenic cyanobacterial cultures. The cultures were established from water samples collected in the Thuathien Hue province in Vietnam, 2004. Based on testing for the presence of the mcyA gene, microcystin-production of Microcystis aeruginosa, M. botrys and M. panniformis was confirmed. The presence of the mcyA gene in a strain of Microcystis flos-aquae and a strain of Planktothrix spiroides (HA308) revealed their toxic potential. The phylogeny of the Vietnamese cyanobacteria was inferred using sequences encoding the cpcBA genes. There was no correlation between toxic characters based on ELISA, HPLC and mcyA gene and the phylogeny based on partial cpcBA sequences. Although the resulting tree topology assisted in resolving the phylogeny of some strains of Anabaena, Dolichospermum and Planktothrix, taxonomical problems still exist at the species level for Lyngbya and Microcystis. Future morphological and molecular studies will have to solve these issues.
