Any of numerous protozoans found mostly in the ocean, usually having two flagella and an outer covering of cellulose. Dinoflagellates are one of the main components of plankton. The American Heritage® Student Science Dictionary, Second Edition. Copyright © 2014 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publi...
Plankton are free-floating ocean drifters, which can be plants, animals or bacteria. The Dinoflagellates use sunlight in the same way that land plants photosynthesize, in order to produce food for themselves. Photosynthesis is also a key part in the illumination process of the Dinoflagellate and ...
• In addition to living in the open ocean, dinoflagellates colonize tidal pools, sediments, sea-ice environments and freshwater ecosystems • The distribution of dinocysts may follow patterns based on latitude, temperature, salinity, water depth ...
Which of the following statement/s is/are not the characteristic feature of kingdom Protista? (a) They include chrysophytes, dinoflagellates, euglenoids, slime molds, and protozoans (b) Chief producers in the ocean are diatoms. (c) Toxins are released by some of the members of this ...

Here, we observed the prevalence of dinoflagellates along a 4,600-km meridional transect extending across the central Pacific Ocean, where oligotrophic gyres meet equatorial upwelling waters rich in macronutrients yet low in dissolved iron. A combined multi-omics and geochemical analysis provided a ...

Planktonic mixotrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates are ubiquitous protists and often abundant in marine environments. Recently many phototrophic dino
The invention generally relates to the field of saxitoxins and the identification of microorganisms capable of producing them. More specifically, the invention relates to the identification of genes encoding saxitoxin in dinoflagellates, and methods for the specific detection of dinoflagellates that are pr...
