ABSTRACT
The freshwater green microalga Scotinosphaera austriaca has been recorded from the brackish waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk (Baltic Sea). Morphological characters and genetic data were analyzed to confirm the taxonomic affiliation. This species bears features unusual in representatives of Ulvophyceae present in the Baltic Sea.
