4.8 Ulva sp. NC 8 - Ulva lacinulata
Ulva lacinulata in North Carolina was positively identified by the tufA and rbc L sequences of the collected specimens being exact matches to those of the U. lacinulata lectotype. The plastid and mitochondrial genome analyses of Hughey et al. (2024) supported a basal position for U. lacinulata within the Ulva spp. clade that also includes U. ohnoi , and U. lactuca .
DNA sequences have confirmed the presence of U. lacinulata in the North Pacific and Eastern Atlantic Oceans, and Mediterranean Sea. The two North Carolina samples in this study, plus three samples from Virginia and North Carolina identified as U. rigida by Melton and Lopez-Bautista (2021) are the first verified records of U. lacinulata in the Western Atlantic. Based on morpho-anatomical characters, the two samples in this study would be identified as U. ’ curvata ’ and U. ‘ rotundata ’ sensu Kapraun (1984) and Schneider and Searles (1991).
