A new

fresh water habitat, Dam Lake in the middle Anatolian
region. This new taxon was first found on examination of
algal samples from Kesikkopru Dam Lake. Light microscopes
indicate a clear relationship with species in the genus
Trochiscia. Some of the characteristic features of the
new taxon include a spines and irregular cell wall. And this
taxon was under observation for two years.
