Abstract
The green macroalgal genus Ulva (incl. Enteromorpha) is the most common, ubiquitous, and environmentally important genus. Certain taxa serve as experimental organisms for fundamental research such as algal genetics. We established three lines of Ulva compressa from the coasts of Japan, named Ehime, Nagasaki and Iwate lines which consist of two strains of different mating types. For further genetic research of U. compressa, genetic markers are imperative. Here we report nine polymorphic microsatellite markers developed from enriched genomic libraries. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 7 to 19. These markers will be applicable for investigations of population structure.
