Rhinomonas nottbeckin. sp. (Cryptomonadales) and Molecular Phylogeny of the Family Pyrenomonadaceae

Abstract

The strains CCAP978/6A, CCAP 979/8, CCAP979/14, and CCAP979/15 were mixed up in the Culture collection of algae and protozoa (CCAP) and these cultures are all the same culture, presumably CCAP 978/6A. These strains were obtained from CCAP after the mix up happened, but before they were removed from the catalog. As a consequence, the following modifications to the article are needed: Page 480, Abstract, lines 16-19: "The analyses suggest that the genus Storeatula is an alternating morphotype of the genera Rhinomonas and Rhodomonas and that the family Pyrenomonadaceae includes some species that were described multiple times, as well as novel species." should read "The analyses suggest that the genus Storeatula is an alternating morphotype of the genera Rhinomonas and Rhodomonas."

Dimorphism in cryptophytes—The case of Teleaulax amphioxeia / Plagioselmis prolonga and its ecological implications

“…Genera with plates include Cryptomonas, Rhodomonas, Rhinomonas, Chroomonas, Komma, Falcomonas, and Hemiselmis. Judging from pigmentation, the haploid stage of Storeatula may belong to Rhinomonas, as suggested by Majaneva et al (15), as it resembles Rhinomonas in pigmentation and lack of a furrow. The haploid stage of Geminigera could perhaps be another species of Plagioselmis, since both have three thylakoid lamellae in the chloroplasts.…”

“…On the basis of similarities in DNA sequences, it has been suggested that dimorphism could be a common trait among the cryptophytes (10) and that each species has a form with plated periplast and an alternate form with sheet-like periplast. Therefore, dimorphism provides a potential explanation for the incongruence of the periplast structure of cryptophytes in molecular phylogenies found in and among different studies (15). A description of life cycle stages should hence involve investigations of ploidy and a careful taxonomical review in addition to the comparison of DNA sequences, especially when two formerly distinct genera are involved.…”

Microscopy Image Browser: A Platform for Segmentation and Analysis of Multidimensional Datasets

“…At present, MIB has been utilized in more than ten different scientific projects, ranging from studies at the cellular level to those dealing with whole organisms; examples include projects on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytoskeletal filaments in cultured cells [ 10 , 11 ], the organ of Corti in mouse inner ear [ 12 , 13 ], the development of the sieve element in Arabidopsis thaliana root [ 14 , 15 ], and the characterization of cryptomonad Rhinomonas nottbecki n. sp. [ 16 ]. Although MIB was originally designed for the processing of relatively large EM datasets, it can be used for analysis of LM and any other microscopy datasets.…”

Phenology of cryptomonads and the CRY1 lineage in a coastal brackish lagoon (Vistula Lagoon, Baltic Sea)

“…Yet, lists of phytoplankton species often include cryptomonads (and other nanoplanktonic algae), although they can be easily misidentified. For instance, the list of the Baltic Sea phytoplankton species did not include genus Rhinomonas (Hallfors 2004), but a new species from this genus has been recently isolated and characterized based on morphological and genetic features, including 18S rRNA gene phylogeny (Majaneva et al 2014).…”
