“…Previous work disclosed a positive correlation between euglenophyte biomass and ammonium and total phosphorous concentrations (Grabowska et al, 2003). Our current and previous results (Wołowski and Grabowska, 2007) confirm that Trachelomonas species are the main component of the euglenophyte summer communities in the SDR, together with various taxa of cyanobacteria (e.g., Aphanizomenon spp., P. agardhii). With 23 taxa reported as new for the SDR, the number of Trachelomonas taxa reported from the reservoir is now 56.…”

-This paper reports data on a community of Trachelomonas species (Euglenophyta) occurring during Planktothrix agardhii bloom formation in a shallow, highly eutrophic dam reservoir. The results come from a long-term study of Siemiano´wka Dam Reservoir, located on the upper Narew River (NE Poland). From April to October 2007, 132 alga taxa were identified, including 32 Trachelomonas taxa, 23 of which are new for the reservoir; of those, three are first records for Poland: T. armata (Ehrenberg) Stein var. heterospina Swirenko, T. atomaria Skvortzov var. minor Hortobagi and T. minima Dreżepolski. One variety, T. curta var. pappilata Wołowski, is described as new for science. The ultrastructural details of Trachelomonas species are illustrated. The highest number of Trachelomonas taxa was recorded in August in the shore zone of the reservoir. At the end of summer 2007, the conspicuous development of P. agardhii (Gomont) Anagnostidis et Komarek, caused a rapid decrease of Trachelomonas biomass due to lower water transparency and the oxygen concentration. In addition, a decline in the Trachelomonas taxa and biomass was associated with a decrease of water temperature. The negative impact of extracellular microcystin on the Trachelomonas development requires further study.

“…Striations on the pellicle of some species of Euglena were covered by rows of small or large, alternating papilla, which are composed mainly of ferric and manganese hydroxides . High concentrations of Mn and Fe can also be related to the development of Trachelomonas species, which was observed in other water reservoirs of the polyhumic type . Some investigators have indicated the loricae of the euglenoids – Trachelomonas and Strombomonas ‐ were rich in Fe and Mn.…”

In this study, we present the effects of environmental factors on phytoplankton in two different oxbow lakes formed from the Vistula River. One of these lakes is under extreme anthropogenic pressure, i.e. impacted by industrial and municipal effluents and characterized by high water temperature and high concentrations of ions. The other oxbow lake is located in a natural forest with some its abiotic factors lower compared to the first oxbow lake. There were significant changes among environmental parameters, which influenced significant differences between the phytoplankton populations. The dominant algae of the impacted oxbow were small centric diatoms, which are able to rapidly absorb nutrients and have a rapid turnover. The results demonstrated that human impacted lake was a habitat, where species with a broad range of ecological requirements survive. However, these habitats are also more vulnerable for the entry and colonization of invasive algal species. In the forest oxbow lake, without human impact, heterogeneity of water quality parameters resulted in different specific habitats. Oxbow lakes are important as biodiversity hotspots for rare and/or endemic species.

“…The numerous presence of Peridinium (dinophytes) in the reference pond indicated a lack of organic contamination. Additionally, the numerous presence of Trachelomonas (euglenoids) confirmed its polyhumic character (Wołowski and Grabowska 2007), and indicated a high concentration of Mn (E. WilkWoźniak, unpublished observation).…”

This investigation focused on plankton inhabiting fishponds, which previously received mine waters from the lead-zinc mine 'Matylda', located in southern Poland (Upper Silesia). The purpose of the investigation was to study the effects of chronic and persistent contamination of fishpond bottom sediments with heavy metals originated from the lead and zinc mine. The phytoand zooplankton in the four fishponds were dominated by diatoms, green algae and rotifers. Plankton composition of the reference non-contaminated pond was different, since Chrysophytes dominated, and Copepoda were the most numerous among zooplankton. In the contaminated fishponds, we observed teratological forms, both for phyto-and zooplankton species, but only as individuals. Our results showed that planktonic communities had adapted to chronic and persistent heavy metal contamination.
