Abstract

Carolibrandtia nom. nov. as a replacement name for Brandtia Hoshina (Chlorellaceae,Trebouxiophyceae)

Recently, the genus name Brandtia Hoshina was given for a chlorellacean symbiotic alga residing in some ciliate species. However, it was found that Brandtia Hoshina 2017 is an illegitimate later homonym of Brandtia Kunth 1831. Therefore, a replacement name, Carolibrandtia nom. nov., for Brandtia Hoshina is here proposed.     

Angiopteris blackii van Cittert nom. nov.

The new species name Angiopteris blackii is established for those fossils that earlier were assigned to Angiopteris neglecta van Cittert 1966. This latter species name is illegitimate as it is a later homonym of A. neglecta Ching et Wang 1959.     

Barbula maxima,nom. nov., an endemic Irish species

Abstract

Rhizoidal tubers from field and cultured Ditrichum heteromallum are described and figured and differ in morphology from those of other mosses so far described. Protonemal gemmae are also produced in culture.     

Chlamydomonas neoplanoconvexa nom. nov. and its unique phylogenetic position within Volvocales (Chlorophyceae)

Chlamydomonas Ehrenb. is a unicellular volvocalean genus consisting of 400–600 species, most of which are known solely based on microscopy. In this study, a newly isolated strain of Chlamydomonas neoplanoconvexa (M. O. P. Iyengar) Nakada nom. nov. (≡Chlamydomonas planoconvexa M. O. P. Iyengar non J. W. G. Lund) was examined using light microscopy and combined 18S rRNA, rbcL and psaB gene phylogeny. The C. neoplanoconvexa strain was quite similar to Chlamydomonas perpusilla (Korshikov) Gerloff in terms of its small fusiform vegetative cells (～10 µm in length), parietal chloroplast containing a single pyrenoid, and nucleus posterior to the pyrenoid. However, C. neoplanoconvexa was distinguished from C. perpusilla based on the morphology of the papillae and pyrenoids. The two species belong to the clade Caudivolvoxa in the order Volvocales, but are distantly related to each other. Chlamydomonas perpusilla was shown to be sister to Chlorogonium Ehrenb. (clade Chlorogonia, within Caudivolvoxa), while C. neoplanoconvexa represented a second basal lineage within Caudivolvoxa, next to the clade Characiosiphonia. Although the morphology of C. neoplanoconvexa was not particularly outstanding, its unique phylogenetic position will encourage further investigation of this species and its uncultivated relatives.     

Marine star-shaped-aggregate-forming bacteria: Agrobacterium atlanticum sp. nov.; Agrobacterium meteori sp. nov.; Agrobacterium ferrugineum sp. nov., nom. rev.; Agrobacterium gelatinovorum sp. nov., nom. rev.; and Agrobacterium stellulatum sp. nov., nom. rev.

Two new species of aerobic, gram-negative, peritrichously flagellated or nonmotile marine bacteria usually forming star-shaped aggregates were isolated from northeastern Atlantic Ocean bottom sediments. These organisms resembled eight star-shaped-aggregate-forming bacterial species from the Baltic Sea originally ascribed to the genus Agrobacterium but not included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names because of their questionable relationships to true agrobacteria. These two sets of star-shaped-aggregate-forming bacteria were compared by means of phenotypic data, DNA base compositions, DNA-DNA relatedness, and one-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of low-molecular-weight RNAs (5S rRNA and tRNA). According to the results of genotyping, the northeastern Atlantic Ocean isolates and three of the Baltic Sea species formed a group of closely related bacteria that could not be excluded from the genus Agrobacterium with certainty. Until more genotypic data are available, these five marine species are regarded as a distinct subdivision of the genus Agrobacterium consisting of Agrobacterium atlanticum sp. nov. (type strain, 1480T = DSM 5823T), A. meteori sp. nov. (type strain, 1513T = DSM 5824T), A. ferrugineum sp. nov. nom. rev. emend. (type strain, ATCC 25652T), A. gelatinovorum sp. nov. nom. rev. emend. (type strain, ATCC 25655T), and A. stellulatum sp. nov. nom. rev. emend. (type strain, ATCC 15215T). "A. aggregatum" proved to be a later subjective synonym of A. stellulatum, which had priority. The remaining four Baltic Sea species, "A. agile," "A. kieliense," "A. luteum," and "A. sanguineum," could not be placed in the new subdivision of Agrobacterium.     

Bacillus thiaminolyticus sp. nov., nom. rev

The name "Bacillus thiaminolyticus" Kuno 1951 was not included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names and has lost standing in bacteriological nomenclature. The genetic homogeneity of "Bacillus thiaminolyticus" was assessed by determining guanine-plus-cytosine contents by the buoyant density method and by measuring DNA relatedness by using spectrophotometric reassociation procedures. Of the 26 strains which I studied, 24 had guanine-plus-cytosine contents in the range from 52 to 54 mol%. The consistently high DNA relatedness values of 60 to 100% of these 24 strains to the type strain indicated that the "B. thiaminolyticus" group is genetically homogeneous. Low DNA relatedness values of 20 to 31% showed that "B. thiaminolyticus" is genetically unrelated to Bacillus alvei, "Bacillus aneurinolyticus," "Bacillus apiarius," Bacillus larvae, Bacillus laterosporus, Bacillus macerans, and Bacillus stearothermophilus. In general, the "B. thiaminolyticus" group was highly homogeneous for 49 phenotypic characteristics and clearly distinguishable from B. alvei, with which it was allegedly synonymous. On the basis of these findings, revival of the name Bacillus thiaminolyticus is proposed.     

Globba unifolia andG. corneri stat. et nom. nov. (Zingiberaceae; Peninsular Malaysia)

Based on personal collections ofGlobba unifolia Ridl. andG. unifolia var.sessiliflora Holtt., the latter is recognized as a distinct species. As the nameG. sessiliflora is already occupied, the nomen novumG. corneri is proposed in honour of Prof. DrE. J. H. Corner, who was the first collector of the plant.Dedicated to Prof. DrE. J. H. Corner (Cambridge) on the occasion of his 85th birthday on January 12th, 1991.     

Systematische Stellung und Vorkommen einer Corallinoidee (Corallinaceae,Cryptonemiales, Rhodophyceae) aus der Karibischen See: Corallina panizzoi nom. nov. et stat. nov.

Corallina officinalis L. ß fastigata Kütz. aus der Karibischen See wird mit Thalli von Corallina officinalis L. (einschließlich C. mediterranea Aresch.) verschiedener Herkünfte verglichen. Wegen anatomischer (Länge und Verhältnis Länge: Breite der Markzellen der Glieder) und morphologischer Unterschiede (Stellung der Konzeptakeln, Durchmesser der Thallusglieder, Ausbildung von Hörnchen an endständigen Konzeptakeln) werden die karibischen Pflanzen als zu einer eigenständigen Art gehörig angesehen, für die der Name Corallina panizzoi vorgeschlagen wird. C. panizzoi tritt an der venezolanischen und kolumbianischen Küste nur in Gebieten auf, in denen es wenigstens während der Trockenzeit zur Auftriebwasserbildung kommt. Weitere Funde liegen von Costa Rica und Puerto Rico vor. Die nördliche Verbreitungsgrenze von C. panizzoi erreicht offenbar nicht das Verbreitungsgebiet von C. officinalis. In Kolumbien wächst C. panizzoi im Eulitoral und im oberen Sublitoral bis in 3 m Tiefe.
