Rare and new for Ukraine algae from the soils of reserves of the Mountain Crimea
ABSTRACT
Results of the study of five species of Cyanophyta (Hormoscilla pringsheimii Anagn. et Kom.) and Chlorophyta (Klebsormidium montanum (Skuja) Watanabe, Fottea stichococcoides Hind., Chlorella miniata (Näg.) Oltm., Chlorosarcinopsis bastropiensis Groov. et Bold) new for the Mountain Crimea are presented. Unialgal cultures of these species were isolated from the soil samples collected in Crimean Nature Reserve and Cape Martyan Reserve in 1996−1997. Four of them are new for the flora of Ukraine. Original diagnoses of the species found are supplemented with new data on morphology, ecology, biology, and geographic distribution. Their taxonomic status is discussed and updated. Descriptions of the local populations, original drawings and microphotographs of the retrieved species are provided.
