Abstract
Meringosphaera mediterranea is the type species of the genus. The species is widely distributed in the polar, temperate, and tropical marine waters. For many years the systematic position of this species was unclear (the most common opinion was that the species is xanthophyte or chrysophyte alga), and its affiliation to centrohelids was clarified quite recently. In this paper, we report on the finding of M. mediterranea in the East Siberian Sea and for the first time in the Laptev Sea and provide a description of this species accompanying by LM and SEM microphotographs. Also, we summarize all available published information on the global distribution of M. mediterranea.
期刊介绍:
The Journal is one of the scientific periodicals of the Komarov Botanical Institute (at present belonging to the Russian Academy of Sciences), founded as the garden of medicinal plants by Peter the Great in February 1714. The Journal under the name Novosti sistematiki nizshikh rastenii was founded in 1964 by the botanists of the Komarov Botanical Institute, St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad). It represents a continuation of Botanicheskie materialy Instituta Sporovykh Rastenii Glavnogo Botanicheskogo Sada RS FSR, Petrograd, vol. 1–4(7), 1922–1926; Botanicheskie materialy otdela sporovyh rastenii Botanicheskogo Instituta imeni V. L. Komarova Akademii Nauk SSSR, Moscow, Leningrad, vol. 5(4/6)–5(10/12), 1940–1945; vol. 6(7/12)–16, 1950–1963, preceded by Botanicheskie materialy Otdela sporvykh rastenii Botanicheskogo Instituta Akademii Nauk SSSR, Moscow, Leningrad vol. 6(1/6), 1949. The Journal publishes original papers on taxonomy, systematics and biodiversity of algae, fungi, lichens and bryophytes.
