Three New Records from Euglenozoa In Acarlar Floodplain Lake For Turkish Freshwater Algal Flora

Acarlar Lake is a freshwater floodplain lake that consists of swamps and forests growing up on inorganic soils and exposing to seasonal floods. During the studies carried out in Acarlar Lake Floodplain (Sakarya) between February 2011 and May 2011, three new records were identified for the freshwater algae of Turkey from the samples obtained from Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Typha sp. L. plants. These species are Phacus gigas Cunha, Phacus undulatus var. major (Prescott) Huber-Pestalozzi, and Trachelomonas sydneyensis Playfair belonging to Euglenozoa.
