Nucleotide sequences of the nuclear, small-subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNAs, as inferred from polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified products, are presented for Areschougia congesta (Turner) J. Agardh (Solieriaceae), Dasyphloea insignis Montagne (Dumontiaceae), Sarcothalia crassifolia (C. Agardh) Edyvane & Womersley (Gigartinaceae), Nizymenia australis Sonder (Nizymeniaceae), Phacelocarpus peperocarpos (Poiret) Wynne, Ardré & Silva (Phacelocarpaceae), Plocamiocolax pulvinata Setchell, Plocamium angustum (J. Agardh) J.D. Hooker, Plocamium cartilagineum (Linnaeus) Dixon (Plocamiaceae), Rhodymenia linearis J. Agardh (Rhodymeniaceae), and Sphaerococcus coronopifolius Stackhouse (Sphaerococcaceae). Phylogenetic analyses of the SSU sequences between the Plocamiaceae and members of the Sphaerococcaceae, Phacelocarpaceae, and Nizymeniaceae, with which the Plocamiaceae has been associated historically, show SSU differences of between 87 and 105 nucleotides and do not indicate a close relationship. A review of anatomical knowledge of the Plocamiaceae and Pseudoanemoniaceae and new information on vegetative and tetrasporangial development in Plocamium and Plocamiocolax are presented to buttress a case for the Plocamiales ord.nov. Representatives of the Nizymeniaceae and Phacelocarpaceae differ from one another by only nine nucleotides, suggesting that these two taxa are very closely related and perhaps not distinct at the family rank. Key words: Gigartinales, PCR, phylogeny, Plocamiales ord.nov., Pseudoanemoniaceae, Rhodophyta, small-subunit rRNA, systematics.

Nucleotide sequences of the nuclear, small-subunit ribosomal RNAs, as inferred from polymerase chain reaction amplified products, are introduced for representatives of the Dumontiaceae, Endocladiaceae, Halymeniaceae, and Kallymeniaceae of the order Cryptonemiales sensu Kylin, the Mychodeaceae, Phyllophoraceae, Schizymeniaceae, and Sebdeniaceae of the order Gigartinales sensu Kylin, and the Lomentariaceae and Rhodymeniaceae of the order Rhodymeniales. The new sequences are included in phylogenetic analyses incorporating previously published sequences from additional families of the orders Ahnfeltiales, Ceramiales, Gigartinales, Gracilariales, Palmariales, Plocamiales, and Rhodymeniales. We used the molecular data to test the validity of the taxonomic merger of the orders Gigartinales and Cryptonemiales that was proposed by G.T. Kraft and P.A. Robins in 1985. With only two exceptions (the families Halymeniaceae and Sebdeniaceae), phylogenetic analyses of the SSU data support a monophyletic origin for a combined Gigartinales–Cryptonemiales. We therefore propose the resurrection of a redefined Cryptonemiales to consist, at this time, of only the Halymeniaceae and Sebdeniaceae. Because virtually no elements of the original or recent definitions of the Cryptonemiales survive in the characterization of this taxon, we followed procedures allowed by the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature to designate it the Halymeniales ord.nov. Analysis of molecular data further indicates that the Rhodymeniales is a monophyletic assemblage distinct from both the Gigartinales and Halymeniales; it should not be merged with the Gigartinales as is occasionally suggested. Keywords: Cryptonemiales, Gigartinales, Halymeniaceae, Halymeniales, phylogeny, Rhodophyta, Sebdeniaceae, small-subunit rRNA, systematics.

Chain Reaction Test

A polymerase chain reaction test was developed to detect Brucella spp. directly in milk and cheese and optimized using primers for the BSCP-31 gene. A total of 46 cheese samples produced with sheep and goats milk were assayed, and Brucella spp. was detected in 46% of them, especially in cheese made from sheep milk. This method is of remarkable epidemiologic interest because it is an indirect test indicating the sanitary quality of milk used in dairy industries. The method showed good sensitivity and specificity. It is faster and less expensive than the conventional bacteriological assays.
