A new freshwater peniculid species, Frontonia apoelegans sp. nov., and two other peniculid species were isolated from a wetland in northern China. Their morphology, infraciliature, and gene sequences were described and compared, providing evidence for the validity of the new species. Phylogenetic analyses revealed insights into the evolution of Frontonia species.
In the present study, a new freshwater peniculid species, Frontonia apoelegans sp. nov., and two other peniculid species, Frontonia atra (Ehrenberg, 1833) Butschli, 1889 and Stokesia vernalis Wenrich, 1929, were isolated from Lake Weishan wetland, northern China. Their morphology and infraciliature are described based on live observations and silver staining methods. The SSU rRNA gene sequences are also provided. Frontonia apoelegans sp. nov. is recognized by the following combination of characteristics: two contractile vacuoles located right-dorsally, without collecting canals; peniculi 1 and 2 four-rowed, peniculus 3 three-rowed with leftmost row containing only one kinetosome; 62-76 somatic kineties; three ophryokineties; and four or five postoral kineties. We also provide improved diagnoses for Frontonia atra and Stokesia ver-nalis based on current and previous reports. Comparisons with sequences of morphologically similar species clearly support the validity of the new species. Phylogenetic analyses based on SSU rRNA gene sequence data reveal that Frontonia species with two contractile vacuoles cluster in a single clade, indicating these species may have a common origin. The family Fron-toniidae is non-monophyletic whereas the family Stokesiidae remains monophyletic according to our analyses. (C) 2022 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
