A new Muelleria species (Bacillariophyta) from the Maritime Antarctic Region

Abstract: During a survey conducted on the soil diatom flora of newly exposed areas due to the retreat of the Ecology Glacier (King George Island, South Shetlands) an unknown Muelleria taxon was observed that could not be identified using the currently available literature. Based on detailed morphol...
