Abstract

In this paper we present data about enlargement of the original description of Chromulina nevadensis. This study has been carried out on an oligotrophic high mountain lake (La Caldera) close to the lake where it was described (Aguas Verdes). Also we make some consideration about the mixotrophy, a nutritional behavior previously knew for other chrysophyceae taza. Finally we study, by the first time, the morfology of its statospores with SEM.
