Diatom samples were collected during July 2010 at 15 localities from
different types of substrate (stone surfaces, sand, mud, filamentous
algae and submerged mosses) from the Dojkinci River. During the research
period, 124 taxa were determined within 43 genera. Among numerous common
diatoms we recorded three taxa for the first time in Serbia: Brachysira
intermedia (Ost.) Lange-Bertalot, Chamaepinnularia mediocris (Krass.)
Lange-Bertalot and Navicula tridentula Krass. Also, we observed 21 taxa
which are rarely recorded taxa for Serbia. The most interesting was
Diatomella balfouriana Grevill. that was previously known only from the
River Tisa near Titel. In the studied material, it was identified only
in samples collected from the surface of boulders with mosses at the
third locality. Their morphology, distribution and ecology are presented
in this paper.
