The study uses data from surveys of the attached green algae on the Porphyra yezoensis aquaculture rafts and data regarding the environmental factors from October 2010 to April 2011 in the Subei Shoal. The attached green algae on the rafts included Ulva prolifera, Capsosiphon groenlandicus, U. linza, U. intestinalis, U. clathrata, and U. cornpressa. The biomass changes of the attached green algae exhibited an inverted parabola: the biomass was the highest (14 898 t) in April, and was the second highest (2 034 t) in November; it was lowest in February (only 729 t) and increased sharply from March to April. The species diversity differed significantly among the seasons. In September and October, when the P. yezoensis aquaculture rafts were initially set up, the attached green algae had a high biodiversity, while from December to the next February, a variety of green algae species coexisted on the rafts, although the biomass was low, and from March to April, as the biomass increased sharply, the species diversity dropped to the minimum. During this time, C. groenlandicus was apparently dominant with the maximum biomass proportion up to 80%, while the U. prolifera proportion increased exponentially to 20% to 40%. The water temperature had a direct regulating effect on the biomass and the species succession of the attached green algae. The estimation of the community dynamics and the biomass of the green algae provided the evidence needed to track the origin of the large-scale green tide in the southern Yellow Sea.展开更多

In this study, the flanking sequences of beta-tubulin gene from P. yezoensis were amplified and two transient expression vectors were con-structed to determine their transcription promoting feasibility for foreign gene gusA. The testing vector pATubGUS was constructed by inserting 5’- and 3’-flanking regions (Tub5’ and Tub3’) up- and down-stream of β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene (gusA), respectively, into pA, a derivative of pCAT?3-enhancer vector. The control construct, pAGUSTub3, contains only gusA and Tub3’. These con-structs were electroporated into P. yezoensis protoplasts and the GUS activities were quantitatively analyzed by spectrometry. The results demonstrated that gusA gene was efficiently expressed in P. yezoensis protoplasts under the regulation of 5’-flanking sequence of the beta-tubulin gene. More interestingly, the pATubGUS produced stronger GUS activity in P. yezoensis protoplasts when com-pared to the result from pBI221, in which the gusA gene was directed by a constitutive CaMV 35 S promoter. The data suggest that the integration of P. yezoensis protoplast and its endogenous beta-tubulin flanking sequences is a potential novel system for foreign gene expression.展开更多

The AFLP data showed that the closest genetic distance was 0 - 180 between two Kagoshima samples, and the farthest one was 0.397 between Kagoshima No. 1 and Nantong No - 9 line. The genetic distance showed that the variation was within the inner species scope. Neighbor-joining cluster and UPGMA cluster indicated that samples from Kagoshima and Qingdao were with high similarity and either with the samples of Nantong, Putuo and Nanji Islands. P. yezoensis in China shared high genetic diversity, and the genetic distance showed positive correlation with the geographic distance.展开更多

Us ing SDS - Proteinase K as extraction solution, total DNA was isolated from the somatic cells. The crude extracts of total DNA were purified with glassmilk, and the resulting DNA was of sufficient quality for digestion of restriction endonuclease. DNA bands were clearly observed in the restriction patterns of EcoRI, PstI and HaeIII respectively. The presence of DNA hands in the restriction pattern of total DNA indicated that the genome of Porphyra yezoensis may be small. Unexpectedly, using guanidinium isoth iocyanate and sarcosyl as extraction solution, a plasmid-like DNA band (2.3 Kb) was directly found in the isolated total DNA of Porphyra yezoensis. A very simple and convenient method for plasmid-like DNA isolation has been established.展开更多
