“…All species from the Luticola genus, in the studied material were developed in the form of single valves -only L. obscura was more numerous, reaching a 2% share in the assemblage. The ecology of this species is still poorly known, it was described for the first time in Macedonia, from the mosses growing on halomorphic soils -where it co-occurred with L. pulchra (Levkov et al 2017). The present study confirms that this species prefers high electrolyte contents and aerophytic conditions.…”

“…The conducted research also showed the occurrence of five species new to Poland, belonging to the Luticola genus. These are mainly aerophytic species (L. obscura, L. pseudonivalis, L. pulchra, L. vanheurckii) found in periodically wet areas such as mosses or soils or in freshwater habitats, often characterized with high saproby (L. saprophila) (Levkov et al 2013(Levkov et al , 2017.

Specific conditions in urban areas favour large species richness, these are also places prone to the anthropogenic pressure. As a result, many studies on aquatic habitats in urban ecosystems have been carried out. The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of diatom assemblages developing in artificial environment in relation to water chemical parameters. The study was performed on a small water outflow in south-eastern Poland, which started in the storm sewage. The water at the studied sites was characterized by alkaline pH and low content of nutrients. The values of other chemical parameters were highly variable, depending on the research season. A total of 113 taxa were identified in five research seasons; most of them prefer circumneutral and fertile habitats, with a high content of biogens and are tolerant to water pollutions. Aerophytic and terrestrial taxa were observed in the analyzed materials in high diversity.

The ultrastructure of many populations determined as L. acidoclinata from different parts of Europe and USA (Levkov et al 2013(Levkov et al , 2017 show a clear difference in the shape of proximal raphe slits, which are doubly curved or clearly deflected (perpendicularly). Additionaly, differences can be found in the shape of distal raphe endings -in the form of question mark in L. acidoclinata, whereas the distal raphe endings in L. rojkoviensis sp.…”

“…Since then, populations identified as L. acidoclinata sensu Levkov et al (2013) have frequently been recorded in many other biotopes. One of the recent studies of the diatom flora of halomorphic soils identified populations of L. acidoclinata that were well adapted even to this extreme habitat (Levkov et al 2017). Afterwards, the dominant occurrence of L. acidoclinata on poplar bark representing the aerophytic environment was recorded by Rybak et al (2018).…”

Sampling of fungi in a grassland on a hill in Rojkov, Central Slovakia, revealed a new species of Luticola (Diadesmidaceae). Its terrestrial populations were found close to the basis of the fertile part of the geoglossoid fungi (Geoglossaceae) that were overgrown with filamentous cyanobacteria of the orders Oscillatoriales and Synechococcales. Luticola rojkoviensis sp. nov. is characterized by the valve outline and the structure of the external valve face: valves are weakly dorsiventrally asymmetrical, rhombic-lanceolate in larger cells to rhombic-elliptic and tri-undulate in smaller cells, with shortly protracted and broadly rounded valve apices. Valve face is minimally concave, as the axial area is lowered and the area around distal raphe elevated. The surface of the valve is mostly uneven due to many depressions, so the external shape of the areolae and the impression of irregular longitudinal rows depend on the extent of these valve ornamentations. Proximal raphe endings are unilaterally slightly deflected, expanded into small central pores. The shape of both the proximal and the distal raphe fissures is slightly asymmetrical. The morphological characteristics of Luticola rojkoviensis sp. nov. are remarkably similar to those of L. hustedtii Levkov, Metzeltin et A.Pavlov, L. ectorii Levkov, Metzeltin et A.Pavlov and L. acidoclinata Lange-Bertalot. The association of Luticola rojkoviensis sp. nov. with geoglossoid fungi and epiphytic cyanobacteria is discussed.
