Mixotrophic dinoflagellates have the ability to thrive in changing ocean environments, resulting in shifts in red tide phenomenon and paralytic shellfish poisoning. [6] It is unknown as to how many species of dinoflagellates have mixotrophic capabilities, as this is a relatively new feeding-mechanism discovery.
This action is thought to be one of the driving forces for dinoflagellates to switch to this protein instead of histone for packaging. [2] Some dinoflagellates have further switched to dinoflagellate histone-like proteins (HLPs) for packaging. [3] The version of DVNPs in dinoflagellates have a variable N-terminal tail with a nuclear ...
Tripos is a genus of marine dinoflagellates in the family Ceratiaceae. It was formerly part of Ceratium , then separated out as Neoceratium , [ 1 ] a name subsequently determined to be invalid. [ 2 ]
Symbiodinium is a genus of dinoflagellates that encompasses the largest and most prevalent group of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates known and have photosymbiotic relationships with many species. These unicellular microalgae commonly reside in the endoderm of tropical cnidarians such as corals , sea anemones , and jellyfish , where the products of ...
Alexandrium is a genus of dinoflagellates. It contains some of the dinoflagellate species most harmful to humans, because it produces toxic harmful algal blooms (HAB) that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in humans.
Dinoflagellates(Dinoflagellata) are a phylum of Alveolates eukaryotes. The taxon is subdivided in 8 classes (Ellobiophyceae, Psammosea, Oxyrrhea, Pronoctilucea, Duboscquellea, Syndiniophyceae, Noctiluciphyceae and Dinophyceae).
The cell body can be divided into an episome and a hyposome like other dinoflagellates. [6] Two dissimilar flagella that are involved in locomotion are present in the cingulum and sulcus. [ 6 ] The cytoplasm contains many yellow-green chloroplasts. [ 7 ]
Amphidinium is a genus of dinoflagellates. The type for the genus is Amphidinium operculatum Claparède & Lachmann. The genus includes the species Amphidinium carterae which is used as a model organism. [1] As dinoflagellates, Amphidinium spp. have chloroplasts. The Amphidinium chloroplast genome is unusual in not having a single contiguous ...
