Spatial Distribution of Ciliates (Protista, Ciliophora) in the River Bityza (Dnieper Basin)
The investigations of the spatial distribution of ciliated protozoa were performed on the River Bityza and on the attendant bodies. Samples were taken from the water column and from the natural substrates (sand, clay, sapropel, submerged vegetation). A total of 140 ciliate taxa were identified. A hi...

Samples were taken from the water column and from the natural substrates (sand, clay, sapropel, submerged vegetation). A total of 140 ciliate taxa were identified. A highest species number was found on the surfaces of macrophytes. Three types of ciliate assemblages were recorded: 1) the sapropelic assemblage, 2) the epiphytic assemblage, 3) the assemblage which combines the ciliates from oxygenated bottom sediments and from water column. |
