To gain insights into the phylogenetic relationships of genus Staurastrum and Staurodesmus, we analyzed nuclearencoded small subunit rDNA of 82 strains, and chloroplast atpB gene sequences of 44 strains belonging to three genera (Staurastrum, Staurodesmus, Cosmarium). Excluding the Staurastrum muticum and S. orbiculare, forty five strains of genus Staurastrum formed a well supported clade. It was shown that with no cell wall sculpture and processes, these two species have a strong phylogenetic relationship with genus Staurodesmus. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to transfer Staurastrum without processes and cell wall sculpture into Staurodesmus. S. obsoletus is a taxa that is transferred from Cosmarium. But, from this study, it has shown a phylogenetic relationship with Cosmarium. Therefore, this species is strongly recommended to transfer back to Cosmarium instead of Staurodesmus. As it was studied before, genus Staurastrum has shown monophyletic. Since the genus taurodesmus groups with Cosmarium, they were shown to be polyphyletic.

The intergeneric relationship of Staurastrum complex including genus Arthrodesmus and Xanthidium was studied on the basis of mitochondrial coxⅢ sequence variation. Teiling's suggestion that Staurodesmus was an independent genus apart from genus Staurastrum, Arthrodesmus and Cosmarium was also reevaluated. The phylogeny inferred from coxⅢ gene was not consistent with morphological characteristics of Staurastrum complex. Genus Staurastrum was closely related to genus Xanthidium in the phylogenetic analysis of coxⅢ, but distant to genus Staurodesmus. The taxonomic treatment of genus Staurodesmus as an independent entity could not be determined, because Staurodesmus did not firm a monophyletic Glade. Therefore, genus Staurodesmus could not be treated as an independent genus as Prescott et al. (1982) claimed.

We analyzed chloroplast ATP synthetase beta subunit(atpB) sequences from 32 strains of the zygnemophycean green algae, Staurastrum, Staurodesmus, and a single species of Xanthidium. A total of 42 atpB sequences including previously published ones was aligned for phylogenetic analyses. The phylogenies were validated with bootstrap analysis and Kishino-Hasegawa test. Taxa of Staurastrum excluding S. muticum indicate that they can be characterized by taxa having the ornamented cell wall or the process of cells. However, the genus Staurodesmus was grouped with taxa having the smooth cell wall and the absence of process or arms. The results suggest that the genus Staurodesmus could be extended to include Staurastrum muticum, Desmidium, Onychonema and Xanthidium. Further taxon sampling of Staurodesmus and putative relatives is necessary for a solid classification of the genus.

팔장고말속 식물은 전세계적으로 1,000 분류군 이상이 보고되어 있으나 한국에서는 68종 42변종 9품종의 119분류군이 보고 되어있다. 본 연구에서는 2003년 2월부터11월에 걸쳐 전국의 15개의 호소 및 저수지로부터 23분류군의 한국산 팔장고말속을 채집하였다. 이중 Staurastrum affine을 포함한 12분류군은 한국산 미기록종으로 추가되었다. 따라서 현재까지 한국산 팔장고말속 식물은 77종 45변종 9품종의 총 131분류군으로 정리되었다. 본 연구에서 관찰된 많은 종들은 국외에서 이미 보고된 개체들의 형질과 일치하였으나, S. affine을 포함한 8분류군들은 이미 보고된 개체들에 비하여 세포의 크기가 작았다. 또한 S. ceratesa등 7분류군은 반세포의 형태와 세포벽의 장식 등에 있어서 차이를 나타냈다.

It has been considered that genus Cosmarium including Staurastrum had the problems in grouping by morphological characters. Sequence data for the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit III (coxIII) were employed to compare with taxa of two divisions of this genus, with sections in each, for evaluating the taxonomic stability of these morphological characters. The division and section systems were not coincided with the phylogeny inferred from coxIII sequences, as the previous reports from us using nuclear rDNA ITS and chloroplast rbcL sequence comparisons in this genus. Two taxa of Staurastrum were not placed within a same clade each other, and one taxon of these was grouped in Arthrodesmus clade. Two genera, Cosmarium and Staurastrum, cannot be regarded as monophyletic from this result. Mitochondrial coxIII gene was considered as a useful phylogenetic tool to evaluate evolutionary relationships of desmids as in the case of land plants.

The freshwater algae were collected at reservoirs and small ponds in Gyeonggi-do and Jeju-do on June 2016. Four species of Korean previously unrecorded algae were collected in domestic fresh waters: Coelastrum rugosum, Cosmarium baccatum, Cosmarium norimbergense and Staurastrum connatum var. pseudoamericanum. The morphological characteristics of the four taxa identified in this study were showed mostly similar to the characteristics of the previously reported characteristics. However, Cosmarium baccatum was larger than the previously recorded species and Staurastrum connatum var. pseudoamericanum was wider than the previously recorded species.

Forty-eight taxa of desmids belonging to Class Chlorophyceae (Order - Conjugales, Family - Desmidiaceae), collected from different aquatic habitats of Lalkuan, Kathgodam and Pantnagar areas of Uttaranchal state and Pilibheet district of Uttar Pradesh, which are regions of foothills of Western Himalaya, have been described. These taxa belongs to 5 genera viz. Closterium Nitzsch (6 spp., 5 var., and 2 forma), Euastrum Ehrenberg (1 var.), Staurastrum Meyen (2 spp., 1 var., 1 forma), Cosmarium Corda ex Ralfs (19 spp. and 10 var.), Pleurotaenium Naegeli (1 sp.). Staurastrum pseudopachyrhyncum Wolle (1884) is new record for desmid flora of India.

The present study summarizes the taxonomic notes and korean distribution of 29 taxa of the desmids (Chlorophyta) collected from several swamps, reservoirs, rivers, and high land wetlands in South Korea from 2009 to 2013. All of these consisting of 9 genera (Tetmemorus 1 taxon, Pleurotaenium 5 taxa, Triploceras 1 taxon, Euastrum 7 taxa, Cosmarium 6 taxa, Staurastrum 5 taxa, Xanthidium 1 taxon, Hyalotheca 2 taxa, and Desmidium 1 taxon) are newly described in Korean freshwater algal flora. In this study, light microscopy of all of these are presented and briefly discussed with regard to their taxonomy, distribution and ecology within South Korea.

2000년에 발생한 12호 태풍(Prapiroon)에 의한 성층 호수의 식물플랑크톤 군집 변화양상을 주암호의 복교지점에서 2000년 8월 30일부터 9월 29일 까지 조사하였다. 프라피룬은 복교지점에서 초속 40m의 강풍을 동반하였는데, 이 물리력은 성층으로 인해 불연속적 층을 형성하고 있던 수괴 전체를 혼합시켰다. 수체의 혼합은 격리로 인해 이질적 환경과 생물조성을 이루고 있던 층간의 혼합을 유도하여 식물플랑크톤의 우점 분류군, 종조성, 우점종을 교체시키는 요인으로 작용한 것으로 추측되었다. 식물플랑크톤의 우점 분류군은 태풍 이전의 규조류에서 녹조류로 교체되었고, 후에 남조류로 교체되었다. 우점종은 태풍 이전에는 Melosira granulata였으나 태풍 이후에는 Scenedesmus spp.와 Staurastrum sp.가 우점하는 것으로 나타났다. 개체수의 밀도는 태풍에 의한 변화가 크지 않았다. 태풍에 의해 파괴되었던 성층은 태풍 이후 재성층화 되기 시작하여 6일째엔 안정된 성층이 관찰되었다. Secchi depth는 태풍에 의해 많이 감소하였으나 수체가 안정화되면서 다시 증가하는 양상을 나타냈다. 결론적으로 태풍은 여름의 성층으로 분리된 수괴를 혼합시킬 수 있는 물리력을 가져 수서 생태계 내 생물의 동태에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있다.
