Araphid diatoms of the genus Ulnaria are the dominant species in many freshwater ecosystems of Eurasia. Diatom populations are genetically heterogeneous and represent a combination of different genotypes. Genetic diversity is a necessary factor for adaptation to different environmental conditions and successful dispersal of species. We were analyzed the genetic diversity of the species Ulnaria danica and Ulnaria ulna using the example of monoclonal strains isolated from geographically distant wa
