Calcareous and siliceous microorganisms of the “Don Tomás” Lagoon, La Pampa Province, Argentina. Studies on diatoms, cysts and ostracods in shallow lakes are very scarce in the Province of La Pampa. The aim of this study is to collect new information on the diversity and abundance of microorganisms present in a hypertrophic body of water and their seasonal changes. The samplings were carried out seasonally in the period from January to October 2014. From the sediment analysis of the "Don Tomás" lagoon, 21 diatom taxa were identified, of which three correspond to the order Centrales and 18 to the order Pennales; four genera of ostracods and two morphotypes of chrysophyte cysts (ornamented and smooth) were also recorded. The data obtained from the study of current samples will allow us to interpret with a greater degree of certainty the Holocene deposits from lake environments of temperate climates.
Keywords: diatoms, chrysophyte cysts, ostracods, shallow lake.
RESUMO – Estudos sobre diatomáceas, cistos e ostracodes em lagos rasos são muito escassos na Província de La Pampa, portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi coletar informações sobre a diversidade e abundância dos microrganismos presentes em um corpo d’água hipertrófico e suas mudanças sazonais. As coletas foram realizadas sazonalmente no período de janeiro a outubro de 2014. A partir da análise de sedimentos da lagoa "Don Tomás", foram identificados 21 táxons de diatomáceas, dos quais três correspondem à ordem Centrales e 18 à ordem Pennales; quatro gêneros de ostracodes e dois morfotipos de cistos de Crysophyta (ornamentados e lisos) também foram registrados. Os dados obtidos no estudo das amostras atuais permitirão a interpretação dos depósitos holocênicos de ambientes lacustres em climas temperados com maior grau de confiabilidade.
