A total of 42 species and seven forms not identified to species level of heterotrophic flagellates were found in studied locations in Kirgizia. The following species were found most frequently: Ancyromonas sigmoides, Bodo saltans, Neobodo designis and Petalomonas poosilla. Distribution of species across locations is not uniform: maximum and minimum numbers of species were encountered in two bays of Lake Issyk-Kul. The similarity of studied biotopes by species composition was very low.

INTRODUCTION
Free-living heterotrophic flagellates are a polyphyletic group of single-cell eukaryotes that have one or more flagella during at least one of the stages of the life cycle [Patterson, Larsen, 1991]. These organisms are ubiquitous in waterbodies of different types. Having a number of important ecological functions they are an integral unit of microbial food web [Arndt et al., 2000]. The majority of heterotrophic flagellates consume bacteria facilitating recirculation and remineralization of biogenic elements as well as participating in the processes of purification of waterbodies from organic matter [Umorin, 1976; Zhukov, Mylnikov, 1983].
MATERIALS The northeastern part of Kyrgyzstan (Lake Issyk-Kul and its environs) was investigated: four small bays of Issyk-Kul Lake (sampling sites 2, 4, 5, 9), three mouths of watercourses flowing into Issyk-Kul Lake (sampling sites 1, 3, 7), two separate waterbodies (sampling sites 6, 8) and green moss in the Aksu valley (sampling site 10). In each of these locations, 1-3 samples were taken, which were subsequently summarized. Salinity in the Issyk-Kul Lake - 6.22%o [Isanova et al., 2017]. Detailed data on sampling sites is presented in the table and in figure 1.

Biogeography and ecology of heterotrophic flagellates are currently being actively studied, which is facilitated by the large amount of new data on the species composition and distribution of species [Mazei, Tikhonenkov, 2005; Lee, Patterson, 1998; Azovsky et al., 2016 etc.]. However, many regions remain unstudied. Also, we did not find data on the species composition of hetero-trophic flagellates on the territory of Kyrgyzstan.
Aim of the study - to determine the species composition and distribution patterns of hetero-trophic flagellates in the northeastern part of Kyr-gyzstan (Lake Issyk-Kul area) using methods of light microscopy.
AND METHODS
The samples were collected by B.A. Levin within the joint expedition of the Papanin Institute for Biology of Inland Waters of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Biological-Soil Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic from July 23 to July 27, 2016. Water samples with a portion of the bottom soil from waterbodies were placed in plastic 15 ml tubes, moss particles were placed in plastic 50 milliliter tubes and filled with sterile water. Non-fixated samples were delivered to the laboratory at 4 ° C in the dark. In the chamber conditions, the samples were placed in Petri dishes, enriched with a suspension of Pseudomonas fluorescens Migula bacteria (0.15 ml of bacteria suspension per 5 ml of sample) and kept in a thermostat at 22 °C in the dark. Live flagellates were viewed for 10 days to identify hidden species diversity according to generally accepted methods [V0rs, 1992]. An AxioScope A1 light microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) with phase-contrast and DIC devices and water immersion objectives (total magnification * 1120) was used for the observations. Recording flagellates on video produced analog video demo AVT HORN MC1009/S, followed by digitization.
The method of single addition based on the calculation of the Bray-Curtis faunal similarity coefficient in the PAST program [Hammer et al., 2001] was used to build a dendrogram of species composition similarity of waterbodies.
Sampling sites for heterotrophic flagellates in Kyrgyzstan
A number of publications were used to identify species [Zhukov, Mylnikov, 1983; Larsen, Patterson, 1990; V0rs, 1992; Ekebom et al., 1995; Al-Quassab et al., 2002; Schroeckh et al., 2003; Howe et al., 2011].

The maximum species richness is recorded in Excavata - 23 species, and SAR (a group comprising 3 large taxa - Stramenopiles, Alveolata, Rhizaria) - 14 species. The minimal number of species is found in Opisthokonta (3 species), and Amoebozoa (1 species). The flagellates of uncertain systematic position include 8 species. The most common species in the samples were: Neobodo designis (6 locations), Bodo saltans (5), Ancyromonas sigmoides and Petalomonas poosilla (4 locations each). The same species are most common in other freshwater habitats we studied [Prokina, Philippov, 2017 (Prokina, Philippov, 2017); Prokina et al., 2017a, 2017b; Prokina, Mylnikov, 2018]. The most rare (found in only one sampling site) - 33 species.
All of the identified species are probably new to the country, since we did not find data on the species composition of heterotrophic flagellates of Kyrgyzstan.
The maximum (site 4 - 24 species) and minimum (site 2 - 1 species) species diversity is recorded in the bays of Lake Issyk-Kul. In other cases, the total species richness of the studied bio-topes is 3-16 species. The average number of species per location is 8.2, the distribution of species is non-uniform (see table).
In Lake Issyk-Kul (sites 2, 4, 5, 9), 29 species of heterotrophic flagellates were found. Among them are unique (found only here) -18 species (62.1%): Allantion tachyploon, Allapsa sp., Amastigomonas caudata, A. griebensis, A. marina, Bordnamonas tropicana,
Cercomonas sp. 1, Entosiphon sulcatum, Heteronema hexagonum, Histiona aroides, Hyperamoeba flagellata, Microcometes paludosa, Notosolenus apocamptus, P. tricarinata, Ploeotia obliqua, Sandona sp., Teretomonas rotunda, Tremula vibrans. The average number of species in each location is 8.25.
In the streams flowing into the Lake Issyk-Kul (sites 1, 3, 7), 15 species were recorded. Of these, 4 species (26.7%) are unique: Amastigomonas muscula, Caecitellus parvula, Neobodo curvifilus, Petalomonas ornata. The average number of species in each location is 6.
In two separate waterbodies located in close proximity to the Lake Issyk-Kul (sites 6 and 8), 21 species were found. Of these, 9 species (42.9%) are unique: Helkesimastix faecicola, Heteronema globulifera, Massisteria marina, Monosiga ovata, Percolomonas similis, Petalomonas labrum, Petalomonas sp. 1, Petalomonas sp. 2, Salpingoeca amphoridium.
The average number of species in each location is 12.
Seven species of heterotrophic flagellates were associated with green moss (site 10). Of these, 3 soecies (42.9%) are unique: Cercomonas sp. 2, Parabodo caudatus, Reclinomonas americana.
Thus, the maximum number of species, as well as the largest number of unique species, was identified in Issyk-Kul Lake (29 species in total, of which 62.1% are unique). However, more samples were studied in this lake than in other bio-topes; therefore, we also compared the average number of species for each location within a certain type of biotope, and the maximum value was found in watercourses flowing into Lake Issyk-Kul (12 species on average in each site).
When comparing the species composition of heterotrophic flagellates of Lake Issyk-Kul and the neighboring waterbodies, no regularity was found: 7-8 common species were recorded between these types of water bodies. Only one species - Bodo saltans was found in all 4 types of biotopes.
Fig. 2. Dendrogram of the similarities (%) of types of biotopes by species composition. Abbreviations: w.b -water bodies; w.c - water courses.
The dendrogram of species composition similarity also shows minimal similarity between individual samples (in all cases clusters with a similarity of less than 50%), and between individual types of biotopes (only waterbodies and streams are grouped into a cluster with a similarity of 50%) (Fig. 2, 3).
CONCLUSION
Forty-nine species of heterotrophic flagellates have been found in the investigated locations of Kyrgyzstan, all of them are new to the country. The distribution of species over locations is extremely uneven: the maximum and minimum
number of species are recorded in two bays of Lake Issyk-Kul. The studied locations are characterized by extremely low species composition similarity.

Изучен видовой состав (113 видов) и распределение свободноживущих инфузорий глубоководной зоны водохранилищ Камского каскада в летнюю межень 2014 и 2016 гг. Показано незначительное снижение видового разнообразия сверху вниз по течению р. Камы; проведено его сравнение с показателями видового разнообразия в водохранилищах Волжского каскада. Проанализирован состав структурообразующих видов (из отр. Tintinnida, отр. Choreotrichida и п/кл. Scuticociliatia), их распределение по акватории отдельных водохранилищ и вдоль продольной оси каскада. Численность инфузорий на участке от пос. Пыскор до Атабаево варьировала в пределах 119-4892 тыс. экз./м3, биомасса - от 1.4 до 186 мг/ м3 продукция - от 1.1 до 134 мг/ м3. Максимальные показатели отмечались в районе устья р. Белой, минимальные - на глубоководных станциях с дефицитом кислорода в придонных слоях. Рассмотрено пространственное распределение количественных показателей сообщества инфузорий по морфологическим районам водохранилищ. Формирование резких градиентов абиотических факторов (в частности, содержания кислорода) приводит к синхронизации параметров сообщества инфузорий и их высокой вариабельности (амплитуде колебаний). Дана сапробиологическая оценка водохранилищ по инфузориям-индикаторам сапробности среды: вода в водохранилищах относится к ß-a-мезосапробной зоне. Наибольшие индексы сапробности характерны станций в районе сброса сточных вод и станции с большими глубинами в приплотинных участках водохранилищ.
Ключевые слова: инфузории, планктон, Камский каскад водохранилищ, видовой состав, пространственное распределение.

В основе любых масштабных мероприятий по сохранению природных ресурсов бассейна Волги (федеральной целевой программы «Возрождение Волги» [Постановление правительства..., 1998 (Postanovlenie Pravitel'stva ..., 1998)] или приоритетного проекта «Оздоровление Волги» [Паспорт приоритетного..., 2017 (Pasport prioritetnogo ., 2017)]) лежат знания о "незначительных" с точки зрения глобальности поставленных проблем элементах биоты -простейших. В то время как роль последних в трансформации вещества и энергии в экосистемах давно доказана [Мордухай-Болтовская, Сорокин, 1965 (Morduhaj-Boltovskaya, Sorokin, 1965); Мамаева, Копылов, 1978 (Mamaeva, Kopylov, 1978); Мамаева, 1986 (Mamaeva, 1986); Оболкина, 2015 (Obolkina, 2015); Berninger et al., 1986; Porter et al., 1986; Beaver, Crisman, 1989; Berninger et al., 1991; Foissner et al., 1999 и др.], бесспорным остается и то, что инфузории остаются наименее изученными по сравнению с ихтиофауной, зоо- и фитопланктоном. Особенно это касается главного притока Волги - р. Камы. Все исследования инфузорий Волжского бассейна сводились, в основном, к исследованиям в волжских водохранилищах [Волга и ее жизнь, 1978 (Volga i ee zhizn', 1978); Мамаева, 1979 (Mamaeva, 1979), Жариков, Ротарь, 1994 (Zharikov Rotar, 1994)]. Наиболее изученной считается фауна Рыбинского (Верхняя Волга) [Экологические про-
блемы..., 2001 (Ehkologicheskie-problemy..., 2001)] и Куйбышевского водохранилищ (Средняя Волга) [Жариков, Ротарь, 1992 (Zharikov, Rotar, 1992); Ротарь, 1995 (Rotar, 1995)]. Можно считать, что первые сведения о простейших р. Камы были получены в результате обследования р. Исеть, Чусовского залива и Камской ветви Куйбышевского водохранилища [Белихов, 1964 (Belihov, 1964)]. Позже З.М. Мыльникова [1990 (Mylnikova, 1990)] выявила восемь массовых видов свободноживу-щих инфузорий в Воткинском и Нижнекамском водохранилищах. В 2003 г. были опубликованы сведения Т.А. Кондратьевой [2003 (Kondratieva, 2003)] о составе инфузорий р. Меши - притока Камы, впадающего в Камский плес Куйбышевского водохранилища. Новый этап в изучении фауны и особенностей развития инфузорий в водохранилищах Камского каскада начался с 2009 г., когда сотрудниками лаборатории экологии простейших и микроорганизмов ИЭВБ РАН были организованы исследования в прибрежной зоне р. Камы, начиная от пос. Чепец на незарегулиро-ванном участке реки вплоть до ее устья [Жариков, Быкова, 2012 (Zharikov, Bykova, 2012); Быкова, 2013 (Bykova, 2013); Быкова, Жариков, 2014 (Bykova, Zharikov, 2014)]. Кроме того, в 2014 г. силами Пермского отделения ГосНИОРХа [Мелехин, 2016 (Melekhin, 2016)] проведено исследование инфузорий русловой
