An Annotated Checklist of Algae from the Order Synurales (Chrysophyceae) of Viet Nam

Abstract

This paper presents an annotated list of the Mallomonas and Synura taxa (order Synurales, class Chrysophyceae) found in Viet Nam. This list is based on materials from long-term studies (from 2008 to 2020) of 371 freshwater localities in 18 provinces in the country. A total of 67 taxa (morphotypes) of the genus Mallomonas and 7 of the genus Synura were reported. For each species, the range of abiotic environmental parameters under which they were found is given, as well as comments on the distribution of these taxa within Viet Nam and the tropical region.
