Mallomonas gemina comb. et stat. nov. (Synurales, Chrysophyceae)—a new combination based on molecular studies
Strains of Mallomonas favosa f. favosa and Mallomonas favosa f. gemina from Vietnam have been studied. Their phylogenetic position was revealed using the SSU rDNA + rbcL cpDNA dataset. The ultrastructure of the scales and bristles was studied using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. A new combination was proposed: Mallomonas gemina comb. et stat. nov. The morphological features of the species are discussed in this paper. Based on a revision of the published data, the distribution of Mallomonas gemina was clarified. Mallomonas gemina is recorded mainly in tropical and subtropical areas in Asia.
