The lamb rumen walls were rapidly colonized by an abundant bacterial population after birth. This colonization was examined by electron microscopy in neonatal conventional lambs. The sequence of establishment of the epimural species during the 3 weeks following birth, and the distribution of bacteria on the different sacs of the rumen, were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The population was very dense and consisted of a limited number of morphological types by 2 days after birth. Three types of rods were dominant at that time. The microflora was more complex 2 weeks later. Observations by transmission electron microscopy of desquamated epithelial cells revealed the presence of adherent bacteria that are surrounded by fibrous carbohydrate coats and sometimes partially enclosed by invaginations of the epithelial cell. Key words: rumen, lamb, microflora, scanning electron microscopy, adherence.

A rare species Sellaphora hustedtii, which is also new for the flora of Russia, has been found in waterbodies of the Messoyakha River basin (south-western part of the Gydan Peninsula, Western Siberia). The scanning electron microscopy study revealed variability of the main quantitative and qualitative diagnostic features of the species (length and width of the valve, number of striae and areolae in 10 μm, shape of the valve and structure of the raphe). New data on the ecology and distribution of the species allowed us to specify its diagnosis.
