Abstract
|
|
|
|
Heterotrophic flagellates occurring in the marine sediments of Inchon and Ganghwa Island are reported. Fifty?six species from 38 genera were encountered in this survey and two new taxa were recorded: Cyranomonas australis sp. nov. and Gweamonas unicus sp. nov. There was little evidence for endemism because all flagellates including the two new taxa described here have been found from other habitats in Australia which are geographically remote from Korea. This study supports the model that free?living heterotrophic flagellates have a world?wide distribution.
