Morphology, cytology and taxonomic remarks of four species of Stigeoclonium (Chaetophorales, Chlorophyceae) from Argentina

Four species of Stigeoclonium from Argentina were studied by means of transmission electron microscopy and light microscopy. For species identification, we collected data related to the prostrate system and zoospore germination. We also determined the chromosome number for each species. Stigeoclonium aestivale showed a more developed erect system than the prostrate one, zoospore germination was predominantly of erect type and the chromosome number was 8. Stigeoclonium tenue presented well developed, erect and prostrate systems, zoospore germination was initially of the prostrate type and the chromosome number was 5. In Stigeoclonium variabile the prostrate system predominated over the erect one, zoospore germination was strictly of the prostrate type and the chromosome number was 3. Stigeoclonium farctum presented a more developed prostrate system than the erect one, zoospore germination was strictly of the prostrate type and the chromosome number was 8. The ontogeny of the zoospore germination was related to the final relative development of the prostrate and erect portions of adult thalli.     

Microhabitat and morphometric variation of two Chaetophoracean (Chaetophorales, Chlorophyta) species in tropical streams of southeastern Brazil

Two populations of Chaetophora elegans (Roth) C. Agardh and two of Stigeoclonium helveticum Vischer were investigated for microhabitat characteristics and morphological variation in streams of São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. Different patterns of microhabitat distribution were found between species investigated. Populations of C, elegans were distributed under relatively narrow microhabitat conditions (high irradiance, low depth, moderate to high current velocity, rocky substrata and lower values of niche width) and showing little morphometric variation (colony diameter, main axis cell size, and apical branch number), Stigeoclonium helveticum occurred under more diverse microhabitat conditions, revealed by lack of significant difference between sampling units with and without the alga and wider niche width, but also exhibited relatively narrow morphometric variation (plant length, main axis cell and ateral branch cell sizes). The narrow microhabitat conditions and smaller niche width of C. elegans can explain its low abundance (percentage cover) in streams from the area studied as well as in other regions of São Paulo State, In contrast, the wider variation of microhabitat conditions and the higher niche widths of S. helveticum suggest that this green alga is able to grow in a high number of stream ecosystems in the region investigated, ranging from undisturbed to highly disturbed habitats. Thus. the results suggest that S. helveticum is a generalist species.     

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE LIFE CYCLE OF A SOUTH AMERICAN POPULATION OF STIGEOCLONIUM TENUE (CHAETOPHORALES,CHLOROPHYTA)1

The diplobiontic–haplodiplontic life cycle with alternating isomorphic generations in Stigeoclonium tenue (C. Agardh) Kütz. is described for the first time. Sporophytes (2n = 10) arise from tetraflagellate zoospores that are produced by meiosis. Sporic meiosis might be inferred from the cruciform divisions formed during zoosporogenesis and is confirmed through observations of prophase I substages. Zoospores do not germinate directly but produce a haploid cyst that germinates to give rise to a gametophyte (n = 5). Gametophytes produce biflagellate isogametes, which fuse to produce zygotes that germinate by mitosis into the sporophytic stage. Gametophytes and sporophytes reproduce asexually both via mitotic tetraflagellate zoospores and by thallus fragmentation. Results from this study indicate that both the cosmopolitan distribution and dominance of S. tenue in many periphytic communities might be due to its multiple reproductive strategies.
