Autotrophic microorganisms in river outfalls of Lake Elton

For the first time, communities of autotrophic microorganisms in outfalls of seven meso- and hypersaline rivers located in the Eltonsky Natural Park were studied. As a result, 132 species, variants, and forms from six divisions were found. The specific composition of taxa in every watercourse was no...

Description
Summary:For the first time, communities of autotrophic microorganisms in outfalls of seven meso- and hypersaline rivers located in the Eltonsky Natural Park were studied. As a result, 132 species, variants, and forms from six divisions were found. The specific composition of taxa in every watercourse was noted. A correlation between species diversity and salinity levels was not revealed.
