Kurzfassung

Folgende heterotrophe Protozoen sind mit Erfolg in Kultur genommen worden:Tintinnopsis beroidea (Tintinnida),Cryptothecodinium cohnii undNoctiluca scintillans (Dinoflagellata),Diaphanoeca grandis undAcanthoecopsis sp. (Choanoflagellata). Angaben über Isolierung, Kulturtechnik und Ernährung sowie einige diese Arten betreffende biologische Daten werden mitgeteilt.

Summary

1. Five species of heterotrophic Protozoa are presently under investigation in this laboratory. They are: the tintinnid,Tintinnopsis beroidea, 2 species of dinoflagellate,Cryptothecodinium cohnii andNoctiluca scintillans, and the choanoflagellatesDiaphanoeca grandis andAcanthoecopsis sp.

2. Their nutritional status and some potential applications are discussed, along with some observations on other tintinnids previously cultured.
