摘要

Abstract

The phylogeny of the oligotrich ciliates is currently a hot debate despite the availability of both morphological and molecular data. In the present paper

further small subunit rRNA (SS rRNA) genes were analyzed from the Genera Omegastrombidium and Novistrombidium

as well as from Strombidium

and combined with three new SS rRNA sequences from Strombidium basimorphum

S. sulcatum population QD-1

and Novistrombidium testaceum population GD. The phylogenetic positions of these organisms were inferred using Bayesian inference

Maximum Likelihood

and Maximum Parsimony methods. The main results are: (1) the SS rRNA gene sequence analyses match the recent findings about the molecular evolution of oligotrichs

indicating that the family Strombidiidae is paraphyletic; (2) the Genus Omegastrombidium is separated from the Genus Strombidium

as shown in recent cladistic analyses; (3) morphospecies in Genus Novistrombidium

based on similarity of somatic ciliature

are separated from each other in all topological trees

indicating that this genus could be a paraphyletic group; (4) the molecular data indicate a possibility of paraphyly for the genus Strombidium; and (5) the similarities of the SS rRNA gene of specimens identified as S. sulcatum and S. inclinatum are 99.8%–100%. However

present knowledge on the oligotrichs sensu stricto is still insufficient and further studies based on both molecular and other technologies are required.
