Szabó, A.: A contribution to the Ciliata (Protozoa) fauna of chernozem soils

Results 45 Ciliata species belonging to 36 genera were found in the chernozem soils with a 1.32 species/genus ratio (Table 1). The majority of species are cosmopolitan, and can be found in surface waters as well. Species most frequently found in the samples are Colpoda cucullus, C. inflata, C. steinii, Spathidium muscicola, Amphisiella milnei, Gonostomum affine, Uroleptus halseyi, Tachisoma pellionella, Aspidisca cicada, Euplotes muscicola.
