At least 8 percent of the
rotifer's genes, more than in any other animal, are likely to have been acquired by HGT.
Biological analysis:
Rotifer species identification was done with the help of standard references (Ward and Whipple, 1959; Pennak, 1978; Koste, 1978) by observing their body shape, morphological features and behaviour.
For qualitative analyses,
rotifer samples were collected by vertical hauls using a 50 [micro]m mesh net with a reducing cone.
In addition to above mentioned species other
rotifer species which were reported from Balloki pond include Keratella cochlearis, Polyarthra vulgaris, Syncheata tremula, Testudinella patina and Trichocera rattus.
