Abstract:With a ubiquitous presence in marine ecosystems, Labyrinthulomycetes protists (LP) play critical ecological roles in oceanic habitats. Recently, some LP strains have been suggested to survive in low-salinity environments, but their distribution in freshwaters was largely unknown. This study investigated LP abundance and diversity dynamics along a fresh-saltwater gradient in 2 seasons. LP were detected in all samples. Although LP abundance in freshwaters (typically 104 to 105 copies l-1) was significantly lower… Show more
