Tetrahymena, Fitotelmas, Filogenia molecularResumen
En este trabajo se realizó la caracterización morfométrica y la filogenia molecular (SSU rDNA y COI) de Lambornella trichoglossa Foissner, 2003, encontrada en ambientes de fitotelmata en el sureste de Brasil. El estudio morfológico realizado con técnicas de impregnación de plata demostró parámetros similares a los registrados en la población tipo y también se obtuvo nueva información adicional, incluyendo el proceso de conjugación y la presencia de especímenes con un mayor número de cilios caudales. Las reconstrucciones filogenéticas basadas en ambos marcadores sugieren la inclusión de L. trichoglossa en el género Tetrahymena Furgason, 1940. La secuencia COI obtenida en este trabajo es la primera de tipo mitocondrial del género Lambornella depositada en GenBank y publicada en un artículo científico.
