Woloszynskia sp.

( Figures 29 and 30 View Figures 2–31 )

Cells were small in comparison to other isolated species, averaging 9–10 µm long and 7–8 µm wide, and gymnodinioid in shape ( Figures 29 and 30 View Figures 2–31 ). Cells were orange/ brown in colour. Eyespots were visible in the centre of cells ( Figure 29 View Figures 2–31 ) as has been reported in other Woloszynskia species ( Siano et al. 2009). Cells swam fast with a distinctive whip-like movement. Cysts were ovoid in shape, brown in colour and ca. 9 µm long and 7–8 µm wide. Two isolates were obtained from the Caspian and one from the Black Sea and all three were successfully sequenced being placed in the phylogenetic tree alongside other Woloszynskia species ( Figure 32 View Figure 32 ).
