چکیده
The presence of P. primaurelia, P. biaurelia, P. triaurelia, and P. novaurelia of the P. aurelia complex was revealed in the studied region of Russia. RAPD-PCR fingerprints (band patterns) of newly identified P. novaurelia strains from Russia were compared to those characteristic for the other chosen European strains of the species. The strains revealed intraspecific polymorphism as several groups of genotypes confirming the existence of polymorphism within P. novaurelia.

First European record of Paramecium septaurelia and the discovery of new European habitats of P. pentaurelia and P. sexaurelia in Russia (Astrakhan and Volgograd regions).
The presence of several species of the P. aurelia complex was revealed in the studied regions. In the Volgograd region P. primaurelia, P. biaurelia, P. triaurelia, and P. novaurelia were recorded. In the Astrakhan Nature Reserve P. primaurelia, P. pentaurelia, P. sexaurelia, and P. septaurelia were identified. Among these species, P. septaurelia was recorded for the first time in Europe, known ...
متن کاملDistribution of species of the Paramecium aurelia complex in Spain.
At present 15 species of the Paramecium aurelia complex are known world-wide (Sonneborn 1975, Aufderheide et al. 1983). Some species are cosmopolitan (P. primaurelia, P. biaurelia, P. tetraurelia, and P. sexaurelia), while others have been found only in single localities (e.g., P. quadecaurelia). Studies concerning their distribution, however, were carried out unevenly in different areas. For i...
متن کاملNew stands of species of the Paramecium aurelia complex (Ciliophora, Protozoa) in Europe and South America (Ecuador).
The occurrence of species of the P. aurelia complex has been studied at a large scale in Europe and the majority of known species of the complex have been found there. However, a different number of habitats were studied in particular zones of Europe, the greatest number in the central zone. Herein new stands of several species of the Paramecium aurelia complex are presented from Europe includi...
متن کاملRare Freshwater Ciliate Paramecium chlorelligerum Kahl, 1935 and Its Macronuclear Symbiotic Bacterium “Candidatus Holospora parva”
Ciliated protists often form symbioses with many diverse microorganisms. In particular, symbiotic associations between ciliates and green algae, as well as between ciliates and intracellular bacteria, are rather wide-spread in nature. In this study, we describe the complex symbiotic system between a very rare ciliate, Paramecium chlorelligerum, unicellular algae inhabiting its cytoplasm, and no...
متن کاملFirst American stand of Paramecium novaurelia and intra-specific differentiation of the species.
A stand of Paramecium novaurelia was found in Boston Massachusetts, USA, the first on this continent. Molecular studies (RAPD and sequencing ofrRNA [3'SSUrRNA-ITS1, 5' LSU rRNA] and COI mtDNA fragments) of P. novaurelia strains show intra-specific polymorphism within the species as strain clusters characterized by variable relationships.
