Abstract

In a previous report, we attempted to identify the species of green laver from the Kumagawa River based on the sequence of the rbcL gene on the plastid DNA, which turned out to be one of U. linza, U. prolifera, or U. procera. Since these three species form the U. linza-procera-prolifera (LPP) clade taxonomically and have completely identical rbcL sequences, it was necessary to determine the species by using other genetic markers. In this study, the 5S rDNA spacer regions on the chromosomal DNA were sequenced as a genetic marker to identify the species of green laver from the Kumagawa River. Our samples were confirmed as U. prolifera because of its highly homologous sequence with many U. prolifera sequences on database. Furthermore, the green laver grown in the Kumagawa River was identified as a group of U. prolifera mainly distributed along both the Pacific and Japan Sea Coasts in western Japan. This is consistent with its geographic relationship.
