The genus Umbraulva, which is a green alga within the Ulvaceae family, was proposed by Bae and Lee in 2001.[1] Three additional species, including U. kuaweuweu, which was subsequently transferred to another genus, have been added to the genus since it originally had the three species that were initially examined to form the genus.[2] Umbraulva species grow upon hard substrates, and inhabit deep subtidal areas.[1] Species within this genus are widely distributed, and have been identified in Asia, Europe, Hawaii, and New Zealand.[1][3][4][5][6] The morphological traits of Umbraulva vary among species, but commonly, Umbraulva are macroscopic with olive green blades containing the photosynthetic pigment siphonaxanthin.[1] The blades are flattened and ellipsoid in shape, or are narrow and oval shaped, with perforations and/or lobes present throughout the blade.[1] As Umbraulva often appear very similar in morphology to closely related groups, the main manner in which Umbraulva was differentiated from related groups was through the divergence of ITS and partial SSU rDNA sequences from those of other Ulva species.[1] Umbraulva is closely related to Ulva, which due to wide distributions, high carbohydrate levels, and a lack of lignin, is a good candidate for use in biofuel, bioremediation, carbon sequestration, and animal feed production.[7]
