The grouping of Chromalveolata, in which the ancestral branch is shown as a dashed line remains controversial in the literature. Not all strains of A. tamarense are toxic: both toxic and nontoxic strains have been reported in New England within the same red tide event (Yentsch et al., 1978). 2, C and D). Figure 2A shows the proportion of A. tamarense genes for which hits are found solely among other dinoflagellates, or between dinoflagellates and one other taxon. 2A), the proportion of hits that showed a dinoflagellate-Apicomplexa association generally increased; i.e., 206 (3%) 171 (7%) 106 (13%) 48 (13%). Other dinoflagellates have undergone tertiary endosymbiosis with different algae (Hackett et al. Paralytic Shellfish toxins (PST) are the primary cause of illness by A. tamarense. Chan CX, Beiko RG, Ragan MA. Each of these cells produces a neurotoxin that is highly toxic to inhabitants such as fish and shellfish, and can be passed through the food chain to other organisms such as marine mammals, birds, and humans.[1]. Biochem. 2010). Patterns of variation in levels of homoplasy. However, the contribution by E/HGT to reticulate genome evolution in photosynthetic lineages (or in taxa that have secondarily lost the plastid; Reyes-Prieto et al. 61 pp. 2005), and 90% (Mirkin et al. A. At x 2, the four most abundant foreign taxa that contain genes with hits exclusively to dinoflagellates are Apicomplexa (206 proteins), Haptophyta (197), stramenopiles (146), and Viridiplantae (86; Fig. (1997). These forces are particularly prominent in taxa that have undergone serial endosymbioses (Yoon et al. Assoc. RM2D58TY2 - The algae 'Alexandrium tamarense', which measures only 30 microns and enlarged 600 times, is displayed on the screen of an electron microscope at the laboratories of the IFREMER in Sete, southern France, November 6. Antarctic marine protists. Zhang H, Campbell DA, Sturm NR, Lin SJ. Bull. In: G.M. New York: Elsevier. Humans, other mammals, fish and birds can be affected. The majority of records of A. tamarense vegetative cells are included in a continuous band ranging from the southern tip of the Beagle Channel to 34S, and between the coast and the 100 m isobath (Carreto et al. 2010); e.g., in some analyses either or both the Cryptophyta and Haptophyta are sister to Plantae (Burki et al. Guiry, M.D. Chan CX, Yang EC, Banerjee T, Yoon HS, Martone PT, Estevez JM, Bhattacharya D. Red and green algal monophyly and extensive gene sharing found in a rich repertoire of red algal genes. Beiko RG, Harlow TJ, Ragan MA. These data included two classes of topologies that offer different insights into gene history. If the latter holds, then it is crucial to detect E/HGT on a genome-wide basis in microbial eukaryotes using a gene-by-gene approach that attempts to rise above biases introduced by taxon sampling or phylogenetic artifacts (Body et al. Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech View image in original size Alexandrium tamarense A = Cell with nucleus; B =1'-plate with ventral pore (=arrow); C = Sulcus and part of cingulum; D=Sulcus with fins; E =1' with pore and apical pore complex with pore (comma) and connecting pore (=arrowhead); F=A living cyst (BF) (courtesy of Anna Godhe). White and D.G. Bock R. The give-and-take of DNA: horizontal gene transfer in plants. Anderson, A.W. Taylor, F.J.R. Hurst 1978. 4. Anderson, A.W. The contribution of genes from lineages of the red and green algae is thought to be prominent in most chromalveolate (including dinoflagellates), whereas haptophyte-derived genes are known to be present in fucoxanthin-type dinoflagellates. This tree demonstrates a key point we wish to make, that vertical inheritance is a relative characteristic of eukaryote protein families. This species produces very potent PSP neurotoxins which can affect humans, other mammals, fish and birds (Larsen and Moestrup, 1989): GTX I, II, III, IV and V, neosaxitoxin and saxitoxin (Shimizu et al., 1975, Oshima et al., 1977).

Effects of toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense on the energy budgets and growth of two marine bivalves, Siu-ChungLi, Wen-Xiong Wang,and Dennis P. H. Hsieh, Department of Biology, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong, People's Republic of China Given this current state of understanding, the nuclear genomes of peridinin dinoflagellates are expected to show a history of EGT involving at least the canonical red algal endosymbiosis (Li et al. Here we analyze a comprehensive expressed sequence tag (EST) dataset from the ecologically and economically important, toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) E. Balech to assess the extent of gene sharing in microbial eukaryotes. To understand bloom development of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense, weekly sampling was carried out from March to May of 1996 and 1997 in 2 regions, reflecting different flow. (A) Schematic tree showing major endosymbiotic/horizontal gene transfer (E/HGT) events that have occurred as a result of plastid evolution. The gametes join laterally for sexual fusion, produce a planozygote which then encysts into a characteristic resting cyst (Figs. 109714 2009, Stiller 2011). Not. Palmitoleic acid (PA), an algicidal compound, is used against the toxin producing dinofagelate Alexandrium tamarense, however, its impact on the edible bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) is still unclear. In summary, among the 269 trees recovered using the most conservative bootstrap cut-off 90%, dinoflagellates were most often positioned as sister to chromalveolate lineages (223 trees); i.e., Alveolata (Apicomplexa and/or Ciliates; 183), stramenopiles (31), and Haptophyta (9). ,,,atcc,,,,,,dsmz,ccug,atcc,,,0574-87917803 Preliminary results suggest toxic Alexandrium may initiate programmed cell death in response to nutrient stress. Several species of dinoflagellate, such as Alexandrium tamarense (Prakash, 1967), Pyrodinium bahamense var. No more than five bacterial groupings (e.g., Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria, according to the NCBI Taxonomy) are represented in a gene set. Hallegraeff, G.M., C.J. In this study we present a new algicide against A. tamarense, which was isolated from the marine bacterium Vibrio sp. The functionality is limited to basic scrolling. The presence of a 13-desmethyl Spirolide C isomer (Iso-13-desm SPX C) is very common in some infaunal mollusks in Galicia contaminated with this toxin. ; Charleston, W.A.G. Harmful algal blooms (HABs) cause a variety of deleterious effects on aquatic ecosystems, especially the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense, which poses a serious threat to marine economic and human health based on releasing paralytic shellfish poison into the environment. To learn more about its affects head on over to Interactions! XV, 858 pp. The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom. 250 pp. A recent increase in harmful algal blooms produced by A. tamarense and similar species have caused concern for fisheries around the world. nov. Sarsia 70: 333-343. Examples of proteins that have an origin in dinoflagellates via E/HGT. In: Patterson DJ, Larsen J, editors. 2014 Other authors. (Eds) (2009 onwards). Some like Alexandrium tamarense are toxic, however, and have devastating effects on the environment and its inhabitants. 2010, Stiller 2011). 2010) has demonstrated that A. tamarense encodes ca. The putative eukaryote tree of life (TOL). Academic Press: San Diego, CA [etc.] This suggests that most A. tamarense genes are novel or alternatively, too divergent when compared to existing data to be identified based on sequence similarity. Buckley, M. Alam and Y. Shimizu 1977. 2007), which coincides with the area of influence of the Patagonian Current (Fig. To study effects of solvent-partitioned fractions of methanol extracts from Potamogeton crispus on the growth of the three species of microalgae (Karenia mikimitoi, Skeletonema costatum and Alexandrium tamarense), the extracts were extracted with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and distilled water by liquid-liquid fractionaction . The origin of this gene in the dinoflagellates remains unclear due to the patchy distribution of diverse taxa (except for Viridiplantae and Opisthokonta) within the tree, even though a strong haptophyte-dinoflagellate association is recovered. and K. Tangen 1996. The findings of a previous study based on the characteristics of genome sizes (Dagan & Martin 2007) suggest that all prokaryote genes have undergone HGT. Mar. Three new toxins from cultured Gonyaulax tamarensis cells, Mya arenaria and Saxidomus giganteus. Within the context of this study, we define a taxon as each individual terminal node of a phylogenetic tree, and a phylum as the group of such closely related taxa, such as dinoflagellates, apicomplexans, stramenopiles, Rhodophyta, and Viridiplantae. A comparative analysis of the physiology and toxin composition was performed on a suite of clonal cultures of the potentially toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense. Because the conserved 5' spliced leader sequence in dinoflagellates (Zhang et al. Moustafa A, Evans AN, Kulis DM, Hackett JD, Erdner DL, Anderson DM, Bhattacharya D. Transcriptome profiling of a toxic dinoflagellate reveals a gene-rich protist and a potential impact on gene expression due to bacterial presence. PCR amplification of the resulting double-stranded cDNA was performed with the Advantage 2 PCR kit (Clontech, USA) using 10 pmol PIIA PCR primer (5 AAG CAG TGG TAT CAA CGC AGA GT 3). While some organisms are unaffected by the toxins produced by A. tamarense, these toxins can accumulate to extremely high levels in the organisms and can be very dangerous to higher organisms that consume them. Yoon HS, Grant J, Tekle YI, Wu M, Chaon BC, Cole JC, Logsdon JM, Patterson DJ, Bhattacharya D, Katz LA. Soc. 92: 31-34. )Alex.tamarense5.TIF (Fig. Therefore, the dinoflagellates provide an interesting target for studying genome evolution in a system that may be considered a worst-case scenario in terms of the complexity of evolutionary history among microbial eukaryotes. 2005). Ge F, Wang LS, Kim J. Baden (eds), Toxic Dinoflagellates, Elsevier, New York: 165-170. Therefore, unlike most plants (Bock 2010) and animals, it is important to study genome data from microbial eukaryotes with the expectation of reticulate evolution for a subset of genes rather than attempting to fit a model of strict vertical gene ancestry, and non-complying data is excluded as noise. Improvement of phylogenies after removing divergent and ambiguously aligned blocks from protein sequence alignments. Dale et al., 1978 demonstrated that cysts were more than ten times as toxic as their motile stage counterparts. The unit of branch length is in the number of substitutions per site. Outcomes include: 1) assessment of the role of PCD in bloom decline contributing to better modeling of harmful blooms and enhancing HAB forecasting efforts; 2) data on the links betweennutrient conditions and bloom decline (or persistence) to help provide decision makers with the information needed to control and mitigate blooms; and 3) knowledge of cell death processes in toxic dinoflagellate to help facilitate bloom prevention through an advanced understanding of the conditions and processes that promote their formation, maintenance, and decline.

The local prefect has banned the havest and sales of oysters from the Etang de Thau for health reasons after a routine check found the presence of the potentially . A protein set that consists of only the dinoflagellates and one other phylum represents putative cases of exclusive gene sharing between the two phyla. During a red tide event reported in the Faroe Islands, Norway, in 1984, population levels of A. tamarense were estimated at 1 X 10^7 cells/L and completely dominated the plankton (Mortensen, 1985, Moestrup and Hansen, 1988).

Phylogenomics reveals a new megagroup including most photosynthetic eukaryotes. However, this species has been reported from warmer waters around the world: Australia, Venezuela and the Gulf of Thailand (Balech, 1995, Fukuyo et al., 1990, Hallegraeff, 1991, Steidinger and Tangen, 1996, Taylor et al., 1995). The deep sulcus, with lists, widens posteriorly (Fig. 2005, Price et al. A. tamarense is considered "armored" because it is surrounded by a layer of cellulose that form plates known as thecae. It consists of 144 chromosomes which are condensed in the nucleus until DNA replication. It produces toxins which although harmful to humans and other organisms, has a potential use in biotechnology for healing certain diseases. Paired cells may contain an anterior attachment pore (aap) and a posterior attachment pore (pap) (Figs. Whelan S, Goldman N. A general empirical model of protein evolution derived from multiple protein families using a maximum-likelihood approach. Sherkin Island Marine Station, Sherkin Island, Co. Cork, Ireland, 151. 1B; see also Table S2 in the supplementary material).

Some of the strains of Alexandrium tamarense are not toxic. Short communication: corrected . These sequences, when included in an alignment can introduce systematic biases (e.g., long-branch attraction, (Bergsten 2005) resulting in inaccuracies in phylogenetic inference. Wisecaver JH, Hackett JD. Nevertheless, our gene-by-gene approach did not consider other complicating factors that limit the ability to detect E/HGT, such as transfer of genetic fragments irrespective of gene boundaries (Chan et al. Anderson and A.D. Cembella (eds), Manual on Harmful Marine Microalgae, IOC Manuals and Guides No. However, Alexandrium species can also undergo a sexual cycle. In this study, a culture supernatant of the marine actinomycete BS01 exerted a strong algicidal effect on A. tamarense (ATGD98-006). The myth of bacterial species and speciation. In: D.M. Bolch, S.I. 40,000 unique cDNA signatures (i.e., determined using massively parallel signature sequencing, MPSS). We used a rich collection of ESTs from a microbial eukaryote (Hackett et al. Here we used the spliced leader sequence 5'-DCCGUAGCCAUUUUGGCUCAAG-3' as a query against the assembled unigenes and found that at the identify level of 21 nt, a total of 6,492 contigs contain this sequence. These taxa are either donors (e.g., red and green algae) or recipients (e.g., Cryptophyta, Haptophyta) of genes implicated in EGT. During sexual reproduction, gametes fuse producing a planozygote which then converts into a resting cyst until environmental conditions are sufficient for germination. However some fucoxanthin-containing dinoflagellates have undergone an additional (tertiary) endosymbiosis resulting in a haptophyte-derived plastid (Ishida & Green 2002). 8. Bicknell, W.J. 2009). At low concentrations of A. tamarense (30-120 cells ml -1) no swimming alterations were observed, but cellular lysis occurred after 48 hours.

For each of the unigenes, we used a simplified reciprocal BLAST approach (Chan et al. 33. 37: 2262-2265. and L.A. Loeblich 1979. 1A). While it is unclear whether toxins produced by A. tamarense provide any health benefits to humans, toxins created by similar dinoflagellates have already shown some benefits.

This species produces a ellipsoidal resting cyst that cannot be distinguished from the cyst produced by A. catenella. (http://www.whoi.edu/redtide/labweb/projects.html)[9], At the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, scientists tried to determine the effects of A. tamarense on energy budgets and growth of two marine bivalves, the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) and the green-lipped mussel (Perna viridis). Kl. Conf. It consists of 144 chromosomes which are condensed in the nucleus until DNA replication. This interpretation must however be tempered by the fact that public databases currently have a strong imbalance in data sampling among eukaryotes (i.e., Fungi- and plant-rich, protist-poor) and the observation that dinoflagellates are sister to, and not nested within, Fungi.

This is the phylogeny of a putative triose-phosphate isomerase, an enzyme that in plants is involved in multiple metabolic pathways including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the Calvin cycle. Phylum Myzozoa: dinoflagellates, perkinsids, ellobiopsids, sporozoans, in: Gordon, D.P. A. tamarense reproduces asexually by binary fission, however it can also reproduce sexually with anisogamous mating types. The failure to go beyond a select set of conserved gene trees (e.g., rDNA, heat shock proteins) to represent dinoflagellate evolution is problematic, and in some ways analogous to what has been found in comparisons of rDNA in phytoplankton, whereby significantly different genome structures and protein divergence are often masked by nearly identical rDNA sequences (Palenik et al. Homoplasy and clade support. Balech, E. 1985b. It is conceivable that a patchy distribution of genes impacted by E/HGT explains the inability to unambiguously resolve the interrelationships of algal phyla such as Rhodophyta, Viridiplantae (green algae and plants), Glaucophyta (together, the Plantae; Rodrguez-Ezpeleta et al.
