In June 2008, news agencies worldwide reported a 'green tide'phenomenon that was threatening the upcoming Olympic sailing events in Qingdao, China. This was caused by the green macroalgal genus Ulva. Previous work showed that the species involved in this phenomenon belongs to a complex of tubular species called the LPP complex clade (i.e. including the species U. linza Linnaeus, U. prolifera O.F. Müller and U. procera (K. Ahlner) Hayden et al.). To understand the relationship between the bloom formed in open water and the attached populations of Ulva found on the shorelines surrounding Qingdao, we performed some phylogenetic analyses based on the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear rDNA, on a larger set of samples. Due to a lack of resolution of this marker at the intraspecific level, we performed some new analyses based on the spacer region between tandemly repeated 5S rDNA. Samples were divided into two groups: the U. linza group, which includes unbranched foliose thalli collected from marine environment; and the U. prolifera group, which includes unbranched folious and well-branched tubular thalli from both seas (including Qingdao samples) and rivers. The bloom samples and a part of the attached samples had identical sequences for the 5S rDNA spacer region. ML tree and statistical parsimony network (SPN) tree indicated that they were closely related with populations from the Sea of Japan. Other attached samples of the Qingdao area possessed identical sequence to samples widely distributed on the Pacific coast of Japan, from Okinawa to the Kanto area.
