Despite a large body of work on the serpentine-substrate effect on vascular plants, little work has been undertaken to describe algal communities found on serpentine soils derived from peridotite and other ultramafic rocks. We report a preliminary study describing the occurrence of algae and cyanoprokaryotes on mafic and ultramafic substrates from South Africa. Results suggest that slope and aspect play a key role in species diversity and community composition and, although low pH, nutrients and metal content do not reduce species richness, these edaphic features also influence species composition. Further, typical soil genera such as Leptolyngbya, Microcoleus, Phormidium, Chlamydomonas, Chlorococcum and Hantzschia were found at most sites. Chroococcus sp., Scytonema ocellatum, Nostoc linckia, Chlorotetraedron sp., Hormotilopsis gelatinosa, Klebsormidium flaccidium, Pleurococcus sp. and Tetracystis elliptica were unique to one serpentine site. The preliminary survey provides directions for future research on the serpentine- substrate effect on algal and cyanoprokaryote diversity in South Africa.

Pešić: 9 February 2019 │ Published online 10 February 2019. Abstract The biodiversity of the entrance zones of the Montenegro caves is barely studied, therefore the purpose of this study was to assess the biodiversity of several caves in Montenegro. The samples of phototrophs were taken from various substrates of the entrance zone of 7 caves in July 2017. A total of 87 species of phototrophs were identified, including 64 species of algae and Cyanobacteria, and 21 species of Bryophyta. Comparison of biodiversity was carried out using Jacquard and Shorygin indices. The prevalence of cyanobacteria in the algal flora and the dominance of green algae were revealed. The composition of the phototrophic communities was influenced mainly by the morphology of the entrance zones, not by the spatial proximity of the studied caves. Key words: karst caves, entrance zone, ecotone, algae, cyanobacteria, bryophyte, Montenegro. Introduction The subterranean karst forms represent habitats that considered more climatically stable than the surface.

China 3State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Nephrocytium Nägeli is a common member of phytoplankton communities that has a distinctive morphology. Its taxonomic position is traditionally considered to be within the family Oocystaceae (Trebouxiophyceae). However, research on its ultrastructure is rare, and the phylogenetic position has not yet been determined. In this study, two strains of Nephro- cytium, N. agardhianum Nägeli and N. limneticum (G.M.Smith) G.M.Smith, were identified and successfully cultured in the laboratory. Morphological inspection by light and electron microscopy and molecular phylogenetic analyses were performed to explore the taxonomic position. Ultrastructure implied a likely irregular network of dense and fine ribs on the surface of the daughter cell wall that resembled that of the genus Chromochloris Kol & Chodat (Chromochloridaceae). Phylogenetic analyses revealed that Nephrocytium formed an independent lineage in the order Sphaeropleales (Chlorophyceae) with high support values and a close phylogenetic relationship with Chromochloris. Based on combined morphological, ultrastructural and phylogenetic data, we propose a re-classification of Nephrocytium into Sphaeropleales, sharing a close relationship with Chromochloris.

Ph.D. Thesis Series, No. 20. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 239 pp. Annotation Aim of the review part is to summarize a current situation in the systematics of the green coccal algae, which were traditionally assembled in only one order: Chlorococcales. Their distribution into the lower taxonomical unites (suborders, families, subfamilies, genera) was based on the classic morphological criteria as shape of the cell and characteristics of the colony. Introduction of molecular methods caused radical changes in our insight to the system of green (not only coccal) algae and green coccal algae were redistributed in two of newly described classes: Chlorophyceae a Trebouxiophyceae. Representatives of individual morphologically delimited families, subfamilies and even genera and species were commonly split in several lineages, often in both of mentioned classes. For the practical part, was chosen two problematical groups of green coccal algae: family Oocystaceae and family Scenedesmaceae - specifically its subfamily Crucigenioideae, which were revised using polyphasic approach. Based on the molecular phylogeny, relevance of some old traditional morphological traits was reevaluated and replaced by newly defined significant characteristics.
