Abstract
The study of algological material, from tundra lakes adjacent to the territories in the Ust-Lena Reserve (Yakutia, Russia), using a scanning electron microscopy revealed a new diatom species to science, Humidophila davydovae sp. nov. The new species has morphological similarities with other species of the genus, H. schmassmannii, but differs in shape of the valve and the central field, leaf length, width, and the number of striae.
期刊介绍:
The algae are heterogeneous assemblage of phytosynthetic organisms, one of the most vast and diverse groups of ancient photoautotrophic pro- and eukaryotic organisms (about 30 000 known species). They are micro- and macroscopic, unicellular, colonial, or multicellular, mobile and immobile, attached and free-living. Algae are widespread in water and soil habitats, at different geographic latitudes, and on all continents. They occur in waters with different degrees of salinity, trophicity, organic matter, and hydrogen ions, and at various temperatures. They include planktonic, periphytonic and benthic organisms. Algae are unique model organisms in evolutionary biology and also are used in various genetic, physiological, biochemical, cytological, and other investigations.
