Cocconeis churalis: a new marine diatom (Bacillariophyta, Cocconeidaceae) from Japan
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new species of Cocconeis, C. churalis, was found on a red seaweed collected from the Southwest Islands of Japan. Its morphology was examined with both light and scanning electron microscopy and the details are described here. This small diatom is characterized by the concave raphid valve with a slightly sigmoid raphe and uniseriate striae consists of circular areolae occluded by hymenes with perforations arranged in centric array type, the convex araphid valve with uniseriate striae consists of several alveoli occluded hymenes with perforations arranged in a parallel array type, and the cingulum consists of four non-fimbriated girdle bands including a valvocopula.

The diatom composition on some Charophyceae taxa was investigated in different freshwater ecosystems in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro during 2007. A total of 91 taxa belonging to 37 genera were identified. The genus Gomphonema with 9 taxa was the most diverse, followed by Navicula (7), Nitzschia, Pinnularia and Gyrosigma (5). The number of taxa at the localities varied from nin...

Cocconeis diminuta, a marine benthic diatom, metabolizes acetate and lactate-(14)C. In the light, the major product was lipid, whereas in the dark, CO(2) was the major product. Analysis of proteins synthesized in the presence of acetate or lactate showed that radioactivity was incorporated predominantly into the glutamate family of amino acids and those amino acids related directly to the subst...

Diatom assemblages were analysed to clarify the changes in sedimentary environments caused by the Holocene sea level changes, and the results were cross-checked with information from the field observations of sedimentary facies. Diatoms were grouped into three ecological categories; marine, brackish and freshwater. Based on the ecological spectrum of the diatoms, the sediments were divided into...
