| Title: | Main Title: Preliminary studies on the diversity of protists in extreme hypersaline environments |
| Description: | Abstract: Recent studies suggested that the diversity of microbial organisms is widely underestimated and that many species still need to be discovered and described. Microbial organisms, such as flagellate protozoa are globally present in various environments, but one of the major factors for their distribution is the level of salinity. Some specifically to high salinity concentrations adapted organisms draw special attention for their possible role in understanding early life on Earth or the prerequisite for life on Mars. In this study we examined samples from two lakes from the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, the Salar de Llamará and the Salar de Atacama, which features environmental traits comparable to the conditions on Mars. Further this lakes are athalassohaline lakes where ions as sulphate in contrast to chlorides and calcium or magnesium instead of sodium are dominating. Our goal was to find out whether the number of heterotrophic organisms, which are adapted to hypersaline environments, is much higher than previously assumed. In this study we also discovered and described a new stramenopile species, Allegra atacamiensis sp. nov.. Furthermore, we classified ths species in a phylogenetic tree and extend the class of Placidides |
