This study contributes new information from thc Marmara Lake to knowledge of the Turkish freshwater algal flora. Eleven taxa, recorded for the first time for the freshwater algae of Turkey, were identified based on their taxonomic and morphological characteristics and ecological preferences in this study. These taxa arc respectively; Gomphosphaeria natans Komarek & Hindak, Planktothrix clathrata (Skuja) Anagnostidis & Komarek, Jaaginema pro-ficndunt (Schroter & Kirchner) Anagnostidis & Komarek, Cronhergia paucicellularis Komarek, Zapomelova & Hindak. Sphaeraypermopsis reni-formis (Lemmerinann) Zapomelova, Jezberova. Hrouzek, Hisem, Rehakova & Komarkova,Dolicho-spermum tnucosum (Komarkova-Legnerova & Elor-anta) Wacklin, L.Hoffmann & Komarek, Trachelo-tnonas tnanginii Deflandre, Cymbella neolanceolata W.Silva, Amphora hemicycla Stoermer & J.J.Yang, Fragilaria saxoplanctonica Lange-Bertalot & S.U1-rich, Cosmarium hutnile var. substriatum (Nordstedt) Schmidle. Also, the morphology and taxonomy of these taxa are briefly described in the manuscript with their original light microscopy photographs.
