Abstract
ABSTRACT Synedropsis abuflosensis sp. nov. is the third species of the genus recorded from a sub-tropical brackish water habitat as opposed to a polar distribution. This species is differentiated from others in the genus by having a different number of slits in the apical slit field at opposite ends of the valve (i.e., 4 at the end possessing a rimoportula versus 5 at the end lacking a rimoportula), an apically oriented rimoportula and 3-4 non-porous cingular bands. Its habitat is different than that of all known Synedropsis Hasle, Medlin & Syvertsen species as it is either benthic or epiphytic in algal mats rather than planktonic or associated with sea ice. The new species was found in waters with a conductivity of 7.1 µS cm-1 (salinity 3.3 psu) and a temperature of 33 °C. Morphological characters of the new species are described based on light and scanning electron microscopy observations. A comparison of S. abuflosensis sp. nov. with morphologically similar species is provided.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
