“…In order to accurately identify the harvested species, several studies have reviewed the taxonomy of corallid corals by molecular information coupled with morphological characters. Based on the results, a three-genera scheme of classification proposed by Gray (1867) was resurrected and redescribed (Ardila et al 2012;Figueroa & Baco 2014;Tu et al 2015b). Furthermore, the results revealed the existence of potential new species from New Caledonia.…”

“…Furthermore, the results revealed the existence of potential new species from New Caledonia. In the mitochondrial gene-based phylogenetic trees, three clades in Pleurocorallium were inferred as monophyletic or singletons, and independent from the valid species (Tu et al 2015b, figure 1). Although the three clades have been regarded as independently evolved lineages by molecular information, their morphological characters have not been compared with described species.…”

“…Current evidence has revealed that due to the recent diversification times and low mitochondrial DNA divergence, the widely used mitochondrial gene cannot delimit species in Hemicorallium (Ardila et al 2012;Figueroa & Baco 2014;Tu et al 2015b). The molecular resolution is inconsistent with morphological characters in Hemicorallium (Ardila et al 2012).…”

“…Two monophylies from New Caledonia and the Hawaiian Archipelago, respectively, are morphologically distinct from the other valid Hemicorallium. Thus, they were regarded as new species and are described here in order to fully accomplish the revision initiated by Tu et al (2015b). Furthermore, morphometrics will be introduced to statistically test for differences among Hemicorallium species.…”

The systematics of Coralliidae has been revised based on molecular phylogenetic analysis and detailed morphological studies. This revision has also revealed the existence of new species. In order to fully accomplish this revision, five new species including Hemicorallium aurantiacum sp. nov., Pleurocorallium bonsaiarborum sp. nov., P. clavatum sp. nov., and P. norfolkicum sp. nov. from New Caledonia, and H. guttatum sp. nov. from the Hawaiian Archipelago are described by integrating the phylogenetic inference and morphological comparisons. Moreover, the type specimens of Corallium tortuosum, H. reginae, H. halmaheirense, P. porcellanum and P. kishinouyei as well as non-type specimens of C. stylasteroides are redescribed. The sclerites of H. reginae, H. halmaheirense, P. porcellanum and C. stylasteroides were first depicted by scanning electron microcopy. A thorough comparison between P. porcellanum and P. kishinouyei indicated that they should be regarded as one species and the former was adopted as the senior synonym. The two new species of Hemicorallium can be separated by morphological features based on the result of multiple factor analysis. A key is proposed for the identification of all existing species of Coralliidae.

Arginine Kinases from the Precious Corals Corallium rubrum and Paracorallium japonicum: Presence of Two Distinct Arginine Kinase Gene Lineages in Cnidarians

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The cDNA sequence of arginine kinase (AK) from the precious coral Corallium rubrum was assembled from transcriptome sequence data, and the deduced amino acid sequence of 364 residues was shown to conserve the structural features characteristic of AK. Based on the amino acid sequence, the DNA coding C. rubrum AK was synthesized by overlap extension PCR to prepare the recombinant enzyme. The following kinetic parameters were determined for the C. rubrum enzyme: K (0.10 mM), K (0.79 mM), K (0.23 mM), K (2.16 mM), and k (74.3 s). These are comparable with the kinetic parameters of other AKs. However, phylogenetic analysis suggested that the C. rubrum AK sequence has a distinct origin from that of other known cnidarian AKs with unusual two-domain structure. Using oligomers designed from the sequence of C. rubrum AK, the coding region of genomic DNA of another coral Paracorallium japonicum AK was successfully amplified. Although the nucleotide sequences differed between the two AKs at 14 positions in the coding region, all involved synonymous substitutions, giving the identical amino acid sequence. The P. japonicum AK gene contained one intron at a unique position compared with other cnidarian AK genes. Together with the observations from phylogenetic analysis, the comparison of exon/intron organization supports the idea that two distinct AK gene lineages are present in cnidarians. The difference in the nucleotide sequence between the coding regions of C. rubrum and P. japonicum AKs was 1.28%, which is twice that (0.54%) of mitochondrial DNA, is consistent with the general observation that the mitochondrial genome evolves slower than the nuclear one in cnidarians.
