3.9 Ulva sp. NC 9

This species was represented in this study by a single cluster of blades that was collected at Carrot Island, near Beaufort, North Carolina ( Figure 8 View Figure 8 ). Ulva sp. NC 9 was resolved in a fully supported tufA species clade (BS 100; PP 1.0) and was resolved in a strongly to fully supported rbc L species clade (BS 99; PP 1.0). All the resolved species clades that included North Carolina specimens showed a wide global distribution and have samples from outside the United States, apart from that including Ulva sp. NC 9 for which there was only one sequence confirmed specimen from outside of the USA east coast. Ulva sp. NC 9 is here described as a new species.
