Resumen

En el marco de un programa de monitoreo de fitoplancton y biotoxinas implementado desde 2008 en aguas marinas costeras de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina), ha sido aislada la cepa LPCc022 de un dinoflagelado woloszynskioide, nanoplanctónico, de paredes delgadas. La filogenia basada en LSU rDNA mostró que la cepa aislada pertenecía a un clado molecular correspondiente a Biecheleria brevisulcata. B. brevisulcata puede ser diferenciada mediante microscopía óptica de las especies B. baltica, B. halophila, B. cincta y B. tirezensis sobre la base de la ubicación del núcleo en la célula, el rango de tamaño de las células y los ambientes que habitan. Este es el primer reporte del género Biecheleria y la especie B. brevisulcata en Argentina y en general en aguas del Atlántico sudoccidental.
