An unknown species of marine sea lettuce was observed forming green tides consecutive years from 2014 to 2016 in Seaside, California. This sp. was similar in thallus size and shape to . To confirm this identification, whole genome sequencing was performed on the bloom-forming species of and the holotype specimen of . The complete green tide mitogenome is 64,143 bp in length, contains 65 genes, and displays high gene synteny with Kjellman. The mitogenome was incomplete for the holotype of , but the analysis yielded the mitoexome, plastid, and nuclear genetic markers. These data verify that the native is responsible for the blooms in central California.
2014年至2016年期间，在加利福尼亚州海边连续多年观察到一种未知的海生菜物种形成绿潮。该物种在叶状体大小和形状上与相似。为了确认这一鉴定结果，对形成绿潮的物种和的模式标本进行了全基因组测序。完整的绿潮线粒体基因组长度为64,143 bp，包含65个基因，并且与Kjellman显示出高度的基因同线性。的模式标本的线粒体基因组不完整，但分析得到了线粒体外显子、质体和核遗传标记。这些数据证实，本地物种是加利福尼亚中部绿潮的成因。
