Abstract

The first summary of soil and nonmotile aerophilic green microalgae (Chlorophyta) from 7 regions of investigation of Russian Antarctic expedition is presented. 48 species of 33 genera were found. The areas of Bellingshausen Station (25 species) and Novolazarevskaya Station (21 species) are richest in the number and diversity of taxa. The smallest species number was observed in the Pacific sector of the Antarctic nunataks — areas of Leningradskaya Station (2 species) and Russkaya Station (4 species). Only Pseudococcomyxa simplex occurs in all the areas. Three species (Coccomyxa curvata, Muriellopsis sphaerica and Schizochlamydella minutissima) are known to 5 areas.
