To assist in the COVID-19 public health guidance on a college campus, daily composite wastewater samples were withdrawn at 20 manhole locations across University of Colorado Boulder campus. Low-cost autosamplers fabricated in-house to enable an economical approach this distributed study. These sample stations operated from August 25th until November 23rd during fall 2020 semester, with 1512 collected. The concentration SARS-CoV-2 each was quantified through two comparative reverse...

A new species, Aulacoseira wyomingensis, is described from a small seep near Casper, Wyoming, USA, using light and scanning electron microscopy, in which it was the dominant diatom taxon. Valves have large areolae that cover valve face. Spines, when present, are short shield-like, precluding chain formation. Unlike most members of genus, A. wyomingensis appears to lack rimoportulae. While we assign this species genus within Aulacoseiraceae based on radial nature its valve, cingulum composed...
A new species of the diatom genus Luticola D.G.Mann is described from a wet meadow environment Gunnison County, Colorado, based on light and scanning electron microscopy. The has rugose valves, with longitudinal interruptions in striae. Unlike other genus, L. coloradiana sp. nov. simple structure internal stigma, lacking complex opening seen all genus. resembles plausibilis (Hustedt) D.G.Mann, Franz Josef Land Arctic, but differs valve shape density also plausibiloides Metzeltin et al.,...
