ABSTRACT
This study presents a chemotaxonomic investigation of the genus Bostrychia through the quantitation of the major mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). The presence of some cryptic species had been suggested in the B. moritziana/B. radicans complex and MAA-profiling in respective samples revealed different chemotypes within this species complex. Another possibly polyphyletic species is Bostrychia simpliciuscula; previous molecular phylogenetic analyses showed four genetic lineages within this species, one of which was recently distinguished as a new species. Phytochemical profiling of those samples used for DNA analyses revealed four different chemotypes, corresponding to the above four lineages and it supports the re-circumscription of the other three B. simpliciuscula lineages. Therefore, mycosporine-like amino acids are considered as suitable chemotaxonomic markers for the reassessment of the classification of B. simpliciuscula. The determination of the MAA patterns in these algae was possible after developing and validating a suitable high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method.
