| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The microflora and microfauna of ponds in University of Tsukuba and Kasumigaura lake were clarified using light microscopy and molecular data. As a result, over 600 species of protists were confirmed in both stations. These protists include species that have not been reported in Japan and new taxa. This study makes possible to clarify the common protists (especially microalgae) in usual lakes and ponds in Japan at the species level. Common planktonic producers were diatoms, green algae, cryptophytes, euglenids, and common primary consumers were chrysophytes, bicosoides, kinetoplasts, ciliates, and Apsosoa (s.l.).
