Abstract The occurrence and some important taxonomic problems of heterotrophic protists from extremely acidic (pH less than or equal to 3) environments are briefly discussed. Almost all information on the occurrence of heterotrophic protists from extremely acidic environments is restricted to acid mine drainage (AMD) or streams influenced by AMD. Most of the information is provided for ciliates. Very little information is available on the occurrence of flagellates, rhizopods and heliozoa in this environment. Within the ciliates Urotricha, Vorticella and Oxytricha dominate in acidic mining lakes. Actinophrys sp. is the most important heliozoan in these environments. There are many taxonomic problems which are not solved so far. Live observations and taxonomic methods adapted to the extreme chemical matrix are necessary for correct identification.
