Abstract

According to the data of scanning electron microscopy, in the plankton of the reservoirs, lakes, rivers of the mountain-forest zone of Southern Urals, 33 morphotypes of stomatocysts of Chrysophyceae, 8 of which were found for the first time in Russia, one morphotype was described as new to science. The description of each morphotype is accompanied by a SEM micrography, geographical location, and environmental characteristics. Unornamented stomatocysts with a spherical form are predominant in abundance in plankton. Ornamented stomatocysts with a spherical form are predominant in diversity in plankton. The maximum diversity of stomatocysts is observed in spring and in autumn. The revealed high diversity of stomatocysts indicates a significant diversity of golden algae in the South Ural region.
