Szabó, A.: Ciliata (Protozoa, Ciliphora) species in alkaline biotopes of the Hortobágy National Park new to Hungary
Qualitative (faunistical) analysis of samples Water samples were condensed by double filtering. First they were poured into a plankton net of 60 m mesh size, and the water flowing through this one was held for by a 10 m Nytrell, UGB type net. Effectiveness of filtering was supported by the added colloid granules. Both parts of the samples were carefully analysed. For the qualitative analysis of soils samples cultures were set up in every case. 50 g of the air-dry soil sample was put into a crystallizing cup of 10 cm diameter in a step-like pattern. This "stair" was fixed by a mount in order to avoid slipping or collapse. To wet the soil samples Protozoa-free, 1:5 soil extractum was used. In this way it became possible to analyse a clear culture consisting of Protozoa of soils. By the slight pressing of the wet soils Ciliata living among soil granules got to a transparent liquid. For faunistical studies 5x1-2 ml culture liquid was used. Results 163 Ciliata species, belonging to 93 genera, were found in the astatic and semistatic, small water bodies of the different areas of the HNP (Szabó 1999a). Based on the analysis of the available literature 17 of them proved to be new to the Hungarian fauna. Their biotopes (small weüands) and the in main ecological factors are described in Table 1.
