Abstract

Gelingüllü Dam Lake is located at south of Yozgat Province, in Central Anatolia Region. It is constructed on Deliceýrmak stream which is a tributary of Kızılırmak River. The impoundment period began after November 1993 and the riverine ecosystems started to chance into lotic system. The following study, part of a more complex research, is a preliminary work on hypotrich ciliates found at the flooded zone of the dam lake. Collected samples were analysed with the non-flooded petri method which bases on reactivating ciliates from air dried samples. The species were identified by evaluation of morphometric measurements and counts, in vivo and after protargol impregnation technique. Illustration of the specimens were by free-hand sketchs and micrographs. Measurements were performed digitally by IM50 image manager system and Q-Win measurement program. Totally 15 hypotrich species belonging to 10 genera were identified additionally descriptions and original drawings of the identified species are given.
