Four
Rhizosolenia
species of marine diatom were appeared at 30 sites in Korean coastal waters from September 2008 to February 2010. The cell shape, diameter, length of pervalvar axis, external process, segment and areolation characters of the species were examined. All four species were cylindrically shaped, but the external processes differed. Segment striations were regularly straight, and velum showed hexagonal, circular pore and narrow slit.
Rhizosolenia formosa
and
R. hyalina
were only occurred in September 2008 from the Yellow Sea,
R. bergonii
was appeared throughout the year from Korea Strait and Yangyang coasts, and
R. setigera
was abundantly showed in all seasons from all site.
R. formosa
is a newly recorded species in Korean coastal waters.
INTRODUCTION
Diatoms of the family Rhizosoleniaceae De Toni are an important group of marine phytoplankton, which are obtained from net and water samples from a variety of habitats. The genera
Rhizosolenia
Brightwell,
Neocalyptrella
Hernandez-Becerril and Meave,
Pseudosolenia
Sundstrom and Proboscia Sundstrom are very common marine diatom species that often dominate marine diatom assemblages (Sundstrom 1986, Hernandez-Becerril and Meave del Castillo 1996, 1997). The marine diatom genus
Rhizosolenia
was established over a century ago(Ehrenberg 1843) with
R. americana
as the type species.Subsequently, a detailed description and differential diagnosis of the genus was provided, based mainly on morphological traits common to four species (
R. styliformis,R. imbricata, R. setigera,
and
R. alata
) that included the following characteristics: filamentous, frustules sub-cylindrical, hugely elongated, silicious, marked by transverse lines, extremities calyptriform, pointed with a bristle and commonly single-celled (Brightwell 1858).
In coastal waters of Korea, Shim (1994) reported 26
Rhizosolenia
species and two related genera, and Lee(1995) listed up 19
Rhizosolenia
species and four related genera in an examination of data from the early 1930’s to the end of 1995. Since then, Korean studies have been done sporadic, and species identification, synonymies and the phylogenetic system of the family Rhizosoleniaceae remain insufficient.
The present study was undertaken to provide a detailed survey of the genus
Rhizosolenia
species from coastal waters of Korea. This survey includes morphological details revealed by light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a critical review of taxonomical and distributional data.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
- Sample collection
Rhizosolenia
species were collected from September 2008 to February 2010 at 30 sites in Korean coastal waters (
Table 1
,
Fig. 1
). Specimens were collected at a depth of about 10 m using a manufactured 20 ㎛ mesh-sized plankton net by oblique or vertical towing. Net samples were immediately fixed with 4% neutralized formalin, 2.5% glutaraldehyde and Lugol's solution.
- Specimen preparation
To remove cell organelles and organic matter, samples were prepared as previously described (Hasle and Fryxell 1970, Simonsen 1974) with some modifications. Briefly, each sample was extensively washed with distilled water using five cycles of centrifugation followed by decantation of as much water as possible, leaving the sample almost dry. An equal amount of saturated KMnO4 was added, and the sample was dispersed by agitation and left for 24 h. An equal volume of concentrated HCl was added, the sample was boiled gently, and rinsed / decanted repeatidly with distilled water as before.
- Light microscopy
LM observations of acid-cleaned natural samples were conducted using an Axioskop 40 light microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) equipped with a Axiocam MRc5 digital camera (Carl Zeiss). The cleaned materials were mounted to produce a permanent slide as previously described (Hasle and Fryxell 1970). Briefly, a drop of each cleaned sample was transferred to a cover slip that was then cleaned with 100% ethanol. The deposited material was dried over a gentle heat or left overnight until the resin became firm. Dehydrated sub-samples were immersed in Pleurax. The permanent slides were observed at a magnification of ×400 or ×1,000.
- Scanning electron microscopy
SEM was done using a model JSM-5600LV apparatus (Jeol, Tokyo, Japan). Acid-cleaned natural samples, or samples prepared as previously described (Hasle and Fryxell 1970) were attached to aluminum stubs and coated with cold-palladium. Other samples were prepared as described by Jung et al. (2010), where live cells were fixed with modified Parducz’s fixative (Parducz 1967) at 1 : 1 v/v for 10 min at room temperature. The fixative was a 2% solution of osmium tetroxide in filtered seawater and a saturated solution of mercuric chloride in distilled water mixed at a ratio of 5 : 1 v/v, respectively. Fixed cells were harvested by gravity filtration on a 2.0 ㎛ polycarbonate membrane (TTTP; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). To prevent the formation of NaCl crystals, any seawater remaining associated with the specimen was removed by washing for 2 min at room temperature with drops of distilled water followed by drops of 0.05 M C

buffer (pH 8.0). For dehydration, drops of diethyl ether (C

) were immediately dispensed on the membrane to complete the drying process.
- Taxonomic identification and terminology
Monographs of species belonging to family Rhizosoleniaceae were used for identification (Cupp 1943, Hendey 1964, Sundstrom 1986, Hasle and Syvertsen 1996). Terminology followed previously published general proposals (Ross et al. 1979, Sundstrom 1986, Round et al. 1990, Hernandez-Becerril 1995, Hasle and Syvertsen 1996).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Systematics and phylogenetics of members of the family Rhizosoleniaceae are suggested by Sundström (1986) as follows. The characters observed in the Rhizosolenia species presently-studied are summarized in
Table 2

The cells of
R. bergonii
are usually solitary, cylindrical, bilaterally symmetrical, and circular in cross-section. Specimens found in Korean coastal waters are 7.5-18.6 ㎛ in diameter, and cells are 211.7-313.3 ㎛ long. Valves are acute and conical. The ventral part of valve is longer than the dorsal. The valve areolae are elongated in the pervalvar axis direction. Areolae are 20-25 per 10 ㎛, arranged in converging striae towards the apex 15 per 10 ㎛, trapezoidal in outline. The process is thick, straight, clefted at the tip, 3.2-16.1 ㎛ long, internal structure of the process is visible by LM, with basal lumen spindle-shaped, abruptly narrowed in a tubular canal and expanded into a funnel-shaped aperture at the tip. Contiguous area is visible by SEM, slightly depressed, not delimited by marginal ridges. Claspers and otaria are absent. Girdle segments are in two dorsiventral columns or several columns, very variable in size and shape, rhomboidal to trapezoid in outline. Segment with horizontal axis and perpendicular axis are each other 7.5-18.6 ㎛ and 8.1-12.2 ㎛ in length. Segment areolae, 22 in 10 ㎛, are arranged in striae parallel to the pervalvar axis, 20-22 per 10 ㎛, with a secondary quincuncial pattern.

Distribution:
R. formosa
is probably circumglobal within oceanic waters and the warm water region. It was observed in the waters surrounding Ko Phuket, Thailand through at the year, but rarely abundant (Sundstrom 1986). In this study,
R. formosa
is a newly recorded species in September 2008 in oceanic waters of the Yellow Sea in Korea.
Remarks:
R. formosa
is a very large species and very weakly frustules in the genus
Rhizosolenia.
At LM observations,
R. formosa
is distinguished by the shape of the girdle segments and by its large size. According to Sundstrom (1986),
R. formosa
resembles
R. styliformis
and
R. formosa
in Thailand. But areola patterns and structure of both valve and segments are indistinguishable among the two species (Sundstrom 1986).

The cells of
R. hyalina
are usually solitary, chain forming, cylindrical, bilaterally symmetrical, and circular in cross-section. Specimens found in Korean coastal waters are 20-63.3 ㎛ in diameter. The sub-conical valves and cells are 225.7-300 ㎛ long. The ventral part of valve is longer than the dorsal. Valve outline is characteristically undulated. The valve areolae are elongated in pervalvar direction, 43-45 per 10 ㎛. The process is thin, straight or slightly curved, long, tapering needle-shaped at the apex, and 26.7-80 ㎛ long. Contiguous areas clearly visible only near the margin where the sister-cell’s processes begin, claspers are clearly founded. Otaria extend along the process, narrow, rounded at the tip, parallel to long axis of process. Girdle segment columns are 2n (n = 2, 3, … 8), cells with only two girdle segment columns were not found in the present study, rhomboidal to trapezoidal, with subrectangular to rounded areolae. Segment horizontal axis and perpendicular axis are 23.8-26.2 ㎛ and 10.5-14.3 ㎛ in length, respectively. Segment areolae, 24-36 per 10 ㎛, with a secondary quincuncial pattern.
Distribution:
R. hyalina
is a warm water species (Sundstrom 1986, Hasle and Syvertsen 1996). It was reported for the first time from the South Atlantic Ocean in 1982 from marine waters of Rio Grande do Sul by Rosa (1982) and subsequently quoted in several papers from other coastal waters of Brazil (Moreira Filho et al. 1999). During this study,
R. hyalina
was observed in September 2008 in the oceanic waters of the Yellow Sea.
Remarks:
R. hyalina
was clearly and concisely described by Ostenfeld (Ostenfeld and Schmidt 1901). This species shows the characteristics outlined above. There was very little variability observed. Only a few floristic studies include
R. hyalina
(Hustedt 1920, Gaarder 1951, Sourina 1968). It was probably contained within Allen and Cupp's (1935) description of
R. clevei
, which it resembles superficially. However,
R. clevei
apparently always contain the endobiotic cyanobacterium
Richelia intracellularis
(Sundstrom 1984), that
R. hyalina
never contains.

The cells are solitary or in pairs, cylindrical, bilaterally symmetrical, circular in cross-section, 3.3-16.7 ㎛ in diameter, and 125-350 ㎛ long. The valve is sharply sub-conical, elongated. Valve areolae are poroid;
Fig. 4
. areolae with slit-like pores, 20-50 per 10 ㎛, with a secondary orthostic pattern. Scattered pores are circular, irregularly distributed among areolae or taking the place of some areolae, distinguishable in external view. The process is very long needle shape, almost straight, wider at the base and gradually tapering along the apex, 33.3-130.7 ㎛ long. Contiguous area is observed, groove-shaped, deeper at the basal region than at the terminal region. Otaria are absent, claspers are poorly noticeable. Segment with horizontal axis and perpendicular axis are 23.8-26.2 ㎛ and 10.5-14.3 ㎛ in length respectively. Girdle segments are rhomboidal to trapezoidal and arranged in two dorsiventral columns. Segment areolae are rounded, 30-50 per 10 ㎛, arranged in striae oriented in pervalvar direction, with a secondary quincuncial pattern.
Distribution:
R. setigera
is a cosmopolitan taxon, probably absent from polar waters according to Hasle and Syvertsen (1996). This form has frequently been reported from Argentinian waters (Vouilloud 2003) as variety in some cases. The species was observed from September 2008 to September 2009 in the Korea Strait, around Jeju Island, Daecheon, Wolseung, Kanghwa Island, Geoje Island, Namhae, Sacheon and Tongyeang.
Remarks:
R. setigera
resembles
R. antennata
f. semispina
and
R. hebetata f. semispina
in morphology of valve and process. However, this species is distinguished from the latter two species by the lack of otaria. Additionally,
R. setigera
is a cosmopolitan taxon, the other species occur in cold water regions.
