Identification of the heterotrophic nanoflagellate Bilabrum latius in the southern Adriatic (Mediterranean Sea). | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Heterotrophic flagellates (HF) are a crucial protist group in marine ecosystems, but their identification is challenging using traditional light microscopy methods.
  • The use of molecular techniques, like barcoding, enhances the identification accuracy of these tiny organisms, especially similar-looking nanoflagellates.
  • A new genus called Bilabrum was identified, including the species B. latius, which was recently discovered in co-culture with diatom Chaetoceros affinis from the southern Adriatic, marking its first record outside its previously known habitat in the South-East Atlantic Ocean.

Article Abstract

Heterotrophic flagellates (HF) represent an important protist group in marine ecosystem functioning. Characterised by high taxonomic diversity, identification and classification of HF is often difficult using classical methods of light microscopy (LM). Complementing LM with molecular methods, such as barcoding, enables reliable taxonomic identification of even small size nanoflagellates that share similar or unnoticeable morphological features. The order Bicosoecida is a group of heterotrophic nanoflagellates that are important part of protist plankton and benthic communities of the world oceans. Recently, on the basis of high-resolution light microscopy and barcoding, a new bicosoecid genus, Bilabrum, was described with B. latius sp. as a type species. Our study reports on identification of B. latius from co-culture with the diatom species Chaetoceros affinis isolated from fresh plankton samples collected in the southern Adriatic. This detection of the Adriatic B.latius represents first record of this species outside itś up to now known and described habitat (deep-sea sediment of the South - East Atlantic Ocean) and in diatom co-culture.
