Abstract

Optical and electron microscopy has been used to identify six species of choanoflagellates from two Antarctic lakes. Diaphanoeca grandis, Stephanoeca complexa and the aloricate Monosiga sp. have been found in the land-locked Clear Lake, which has a salinity of 10 g. kg-1. Burton Lake, a meromictic lake the epilimnion of which exchanges with the sea during summer contains Diaphanoeca grandis, Diaphanoeca sphaerica, a new record from Antarctica, Saepicula leadbeateri and Spiraloecion didymocostatum gen. et sp. nov. This is the first report of choanoflagellates from Antarctic lakes.
