Global Distribution and Diversity of Marine Parmales.
Parmales (Bolidophyceae) is a minor eukaryotic phytoplankton group, sister to diatoms, which exists as two distinct forms of unicellular organisms: silicified cells and naked flagellates. Since their discovery, many field studies on Parmales have been performed; however, their global distribution has not yet been examined in detail. We herein compiled more than 3,000 marine DNA metabarcoding datasets targeting the V4 region of the 18S rRNA gene from the EukBank database. By linking this large dataset with the latest morphological and genetic information, we provide updated estimates on the diversity and distribution of Parmales in the global ocean at a fine taxonomic resolution. Parmalean amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were detected in nearly 90% of the samples analyzed. However, the relative abundance of parmaleans in the eukaryotic community was less than 0.2% on average, and the estimated true richness of parmalean ASVs was approximately 316 ASVs, confirming their low abundance and diversity. A phylogenetic ana-lysis divided these algae into four clades, and three known morphotypes of silicified cells were classified into three different clades. The abundance of Parmales is generally high in the poles and decreases towards the tropics, and individual clades/subclades show further distinctions in their distribution. Collectively, the present results suggest clade/subclade-specific adaptation to different ecological niches.
