Notes
On microscopic slides exposed in the Danube River at God (Hungary) Suctoria species (Tokophrya lemnarum, Heliophrya rotunda, Podophrya fixa, Dendrosoma radians, Acineta flava, A. tuberosa) were dominant. They live under beta-alpha mesosaprobic conditions except P. fixa, which according to Liebmann (1962) is a polysaprobic indicator organism. The Sorensen index, modified by Whittaker & Fairbanks (1958) revealed that the observed association between pairs of species was not strong and most of them showed no association at all.
