strain) and marine waters (two strains) has been considered. The morphology of these strains is relatively similar. The anterior flagellum lies inside the hollow proboscis. The posterior flagellum goes along the ventral groove. Two heterodynamic flagella are smooth and have not been covered by any structures. The transitional zone of the flagella do not contain additional elements and are ofthe usual structure. The microtubule band and anterior rootlet are inserted from the kinetosome of the anterior flagellum, the microtubule right and left rootlets and single rootlet are inserted from the kinetosome of the posterior flagellum. The kinerosomes are located at obtuse angle or antiparallel and connected by the three fibrils and cross-striated structure. The rhizoplast has not been found. The thickened cell coverings consist of plasmalemma and epiplasm. The margins of the coverings form the folds, the ventral groove goes between them and is bounded only by the plasmalemma. The vesicular nucleus and Golgi apparatus are of the usual structure. The mitochondria contain tubular cristae. The pseudopodia inserting from ventral groove serve to capture bacteria. Front cytoplasmic outgrowth have been found for the first time. The resemblance and differences ofgiven species with other apusomonads have been shown. This study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grant nos. 14-04-00500, 14-04-00554, 15-29-02518).
THE ULTRASTRUCTURE OF AMOEBOID FLAGELLATE THAUMATOMONAS COLO-NIENSIS WYLEZICH ET AL. 2007 (CERCO-ZOA, RHIZARIA) Mylnikov A.P., Prokina K.I. Papanin Institute for Biology of Inland Waters, Russian Academy of Sciences, Borok, Russia [email protected]
The ultrathin structure of amoeboid flagellate Th. coloniensis has been considered. The cell is surrounded by somatic scales which forming on the surface of the mitochondria. The heterodynamic flagella emerge from the small flagellar pocket. Both flagella are covered by the cone—shaped scales and thin twisted mastigonemes. The kinetosomes lie parallel to each other. The transitional zone of the flagella contains the thin—walled cylinder. The transversal plate of the flagella is located above cell surface. The flagellar root system consists of 3 microtubular bands and fibrillar rhizoplast. The vesicular nucleus and Golgi apparatus are of the usual structure. The mitochondria contain the tubular cristae. The extrusive organelles (kineto-cysts) which contain the amorphous material and capsule have been found in cytoplasm. The capsule
consists of the muff and cylinder. Osmiophilic bodies of various shapes contain crystalloid inclusions. The pseudopodia capturing the bacteria are inserted ventrally. The groove is armored by the two longitudinal groups of closely situated microtubules. Microbodies and symbiotic bacteria have not been observed. Th. coloniensis differs from other Thaumatomonas species by the presence of osmiophlic bodies and absence ofmicrobodies.

The species composition, abundance, biomass and distribution of planktonic ciliates across the Sheksna Reservoir consisting of three parts have been studied. Fifteen species of ciliates, belonging to four classes: Spirotrichea - 6, Litostomatea - 4, Prostomatea - 4, Oligohymenophorea - 1 were recorded during the observation period in the pelagic zone. The maximal number of species (11) was registered in Beloye Lake, minimal one (6) - in Kovzhinsk part. The following species: Tintinnidium fluviatile, Codonella cratera, Limnostrombidium viride, L. pelagica and Rimostrombidium velox were dominants in the most part of sampling points. Paradileptus conicus, Monodinium balbiani, Enchelis pupa and Prorodon ovum were registered less frequently and in small quantities , and has been recorded for the first time on this site. The maximal average abundance (2502 * 103 ind./m3) and biomass (141 mg/m3) were registered in Beloye Lake. The maximal density (27 50-4 150 * 103 ind./ m3 and 156-352 mg/m3) observed in shallow waters of the western coast, in sampling points Mandoma, Kustovo, Kium-Mandoma and Belozersk. Lower density (1150-1250 * 103 ind./m3 and 62-90 mg/ m3) observed in sampling points near the center of the lake, and Sudovoy Khod station. The average values of abundance and biomass of Sheksna Reservoir accounted 1875000 ind./m3 and 123 mg/ m3, respectively. The trophic status of the Sheksna Reservoir during the study period can be described as mesosaprobic.
