“…The morphological characterization of the VLKOV1 population matches previous descriptions and depictions of Saprodinium dentatum (Dragesco, 1960; Fernandes et al, 2018; Foissner et al, 1992; Jankowski, 1964b; Kahl, 1932b; Kreutz & Foissner, 2006; Lauterborn, 1901, 1908; Schrenk & Bardele, 1991; Sola et al, 1992; Wetzel, 1928). Although the newly determined 18S rRNA gene sequence differs in 29 nucleotide positions (i.e.…”

“…Lauterborn (1901) first described this species as Discomorpha dentata (genus replacement name Discomorphella Corliss, 1960) and later erected the genus Saprodinium (Lauterborn, 1908) with S. dentatum as its type and only species. Since its description, this large and easily recognized species has been well‐characterized from a morphologic and molecular standpoint (Dragesco, 1960; Fernandes et al, 2018; Foissner et al, 1992; Jankowski, 1964b; Schrenk & Bardele, 1991; Sola et al, 1992; Wetzel, 1928). At least six additional species have been erected within, or transferred to Saprodinium (i.e.…”

The diversity of the classes Odontostomatea and Muranotrichea, which contain solely obligate anaerobes, is poorly understood. We studied two populations of Mylestoma sp., one of Saprodinium dentatum (Odontostomatea), two of Muranothrix felix sp. nov., and one of Muranothrix sp. (Muranotrichea) employing live observation, protargol impregnation, scanning electron microscopy, and 18S rRNA gene sequencing. Conspecificity of Mylestoma sp., described here, with a previously described species of this genus cannot be excluded since no species have been studied with modern methods. Phylogenetically, the genus Mylestoma is closely related to the odontostomatid Discomorphella pedroeneasi, although the phylogenetic position of class Odontostomatea itself remains unresolved. The newly described muranotrichean species, Muranothrix felix sp. nov., is morphologically similar to M. gubernata but can be distinguished by its fewer macronuclear nodules and fewer adoral membranelles; moreover, it is clearly distinguished from M. gubernata by its 18S rRNA gene sequence. Another population, designated here as Muranothrix sp., most likely represents a separate species.
