Chelonemonas sp. ( Figs 2e View Fig , 3e View Fig )
Cells are 5–7 µm long, dorso-ventrally flattened and flexible. A laterally directed sleeve like protrusion extending anteriorly is 2–3 µm long and anterior fla- gellum emerges from the tip of the sleeve and beats in a small angle. The posterior flagellum is slightly longer than the cell length, lying in a groove along the margin of the cell, trailing under the cell and on occasion protruding behind the cell. Cytoplasmic extension like strand occurs posteriorly which may be drawn out behind the cell. The nucleus is located at the anterior left of the cell. Description based on observations of 4 cells. Occurance: July to October at Acı Lake, temperature 18–23.5 °C, salinity 37–54 psu, dissolved oxygen 3.75– 5.3 mg /L.
Remarks: The genus Chelonemonas was created by Heiss et al. (2015) and consists of 2 nominal species ( C. geobuk , C. masanensis ) (see Heiss et al. 2015 for more details). These two species can not be distinguished by light microscopy, alone.
