The present study was carried
out on ciliated protozoans obtained from 4 stations in Bostaniçi Pond, Van,
during the years of 2001−2003. Morphological and morphometrical characteristics
of obtained ciliates were determined by using various morphological and
cytological techniques. During the study period, 42 ciliate species belonging
to 17 orders, 31 families and 34 genera belonging to classes of Heterotrichea,
Spirotrichea, Litostomatea, Phyllopharyngea, Nassophorea, Colpodea, Prostomatea
and Oligohymenophorea were identified. From these
species, Climacostomum virens, Stentor roeseli, Euplotes moebiusi, Codonella
cratera, Pelagostrombidium mirabile, Phialina minima, Ovalorhabdos sapropelicus,
Monilicaryon monilatum, Pseudochilodonopsis algivora, P. fluviatilis,
Trithigmostoma srameki, T. steini, Zosterodasys transversa, Bursaria
truncatella, Holophrya teres, Urotricha platystoma, Lembadion bullinum,
Homalogastra setosa, Calyptotricha lanuginosa, Tetrahymena setosa and
Ophryoglena atra are new record
for the ciliate fauna of Turkey. Ciliate density and species diversity of pond were
found relatively poor because of low primer production related to absence of
macrofit components and turbidity of water. It was concluded that, Holophrya sp., Ophryoglena sp. and Paranophrys
sp., which we could not placed within any known species, should be
reconsidered by morphological and morphometric methods supported by molecular
techniques.

Bu çalışma, 2001−2003 yılları arasında Van,
Bostaniçi Göleti’nde belirlenen 4 istasyonda siliyat protozoonlar üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Belirlenen siliyatların ayrıntılı sitolojik yapıları çeşitli tekniklerle
incelenerek, morfolojik ve morfometrik karakterleri belirlenmiştir. Amaca uygun
olanların görüntüleri alınmış ve çizimleri yapılmıştır. Araştırma sırasında
Bostaniçi Göleti’nde Heterotrichea, Spirotrichea, Litostomatea,
Phyllopharyngea, Nassophorea, Colpodea, Prostomatea ve Oligohymenophorea sınıfları içerisinde dağılım
gösteren 17 takım, 31 familya ve 34 cinse ait 42 siliyat türü belirlenmiştir.
Bu türlerden Climacostomum virens, Stentor roeseli, Euplotes moebiusi,
Codonella cratera, Pelagostrombidium mirabile, Phialina minima, Ovalorhabdos
sapropelicus, Monilicaryon monilatum, Pseudochilodonopsis algivora, P.
fluviatilis, Trithigmostoma srameki, T. steini, Zosterodasys transversa,
Bursaria truncatella, Holophrya teres, Urotricha platystoma, Lembadion
bullinum, Homalogastra setosa, Calyptotricha lanuginosa, Tetrahymena setosa ve
Ophryoglena atra Türkiye siliyat
faunası için yeni kayıttır. Gölet, siliyat yoğunluğu ve tür çeşitliliği
bakımından nispeten fakir bulunmuştur. Bu durum göletin bulanık olması ve
makrofit içermemesine bağlı olarak primer üretimin düşük olmasından ileri
gelebilir. Mevcut literatür bilgisine göre bilinen herhangi bir türe dahil
edilemeyen Holophrya sp., Ophryoglena sp. ve Paranophrys sp.’nin moleküler çalışmalar ile desteklenen morfolojik
ve morfometrik olarak yeniden ele alınması gerektiğine karar verilmiştir.
