The Presence and Distribution of Protostelid Group Organisms in Bursa - Uludağ University Campus Area, Turkey

Abstract

This study is the first report of protostelids in Turkey. The listed 11 species, all of them new to Turkey, have been prepared in the laboratory cultures that contain samples of aerial plant parts and leaves, litter, woody twigs. The taxon of protostelids representing 3 families were recorded. These taxon are as follows; Cavostelium apophysatum Olive, Ceratiomyxella tahitiensis Olive and Stoian., Echinosteliopsis oligospora Reinhardt and Olive, Echinostelium bisporum (Olive and Stoian.) Whitney and Olive, Nematostelium ovatum (Olive and Stoian.) Olive and Stoian., Protosporangium bisporum Olive and Stoian., Protostelium mycophagum Olive and Stoian., Schizoplasmodiopsis amoeboidea Olive and Whitney, Schizoplasmodiopsis pseudoendospora Olive, Martin and Stoian., Schizoplasmodiopsis vulgaris Olive and Stoian., and Soliformovum irregulare (Olive and Stoian.) Spiegel.
