  2. Dinoflagellate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinoflagellate

    Other dinoflagellates are unpigmented predators on other protozoa, and a few forms are parasitic (for example, Oodinium and Pfiesteria). Some dinoflagellates produce resting stages, called dinoflagellate cysts or dinocysts , as part of their lifecycles; this occurs in 84 of the 350 described freshwater species and a little more than 10% of the ...

  3. Marine protists - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_protists

    Autotrophic protists that make their own food without needing to consume other organisms, usually by photosynthesis (sometimes by chemosynthesis) Green algae, Pyramimonas: Red and brown algae, diatoms, coccolithophores and some dinoflagellates. Plant-like protists are important components of phytoplankton discussed below. Animal-like

  4. Marine primary production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_primary_production

    Biological pigments are any coloured material in plant or animal cells. All biological pigments selectively absorb certain wavelengths of light while reflecting others. [ 28 ] [ 29 ] The primary function of pigments in plants is photosynthesis , which uses the green pigment chlorophyll and several colourful pigments that absorb as much light ...

  5. Mixotrophic dinoflagellate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixotrophic_dinoflagellate

    Some dinoflagellates that live as parasites are probably mixotrophic. [7] Karenia, Karlodinium, and Lepidodinium are some of the dinoflagellate genera which are thought to contain peridinin, a carotenoid pigment necessary for photosynthesis in dinoflagellates; [8] however, chlorophyll b has been found in these genera as an accessory pigment. [8]

  6. Ceratium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratium

    Ceratium dinoflagellates may reproduce sexually (two parent cells) or asexually (one parent cell) . [4] In asexual reproduction, the pellicle (shell) pulls apart and exposes the naked cell. [ 2 ] The cell then increases in size and divides, creating 4–8 daughter cells, each with two flagella. [ 2 ]

  7. Symbiodinium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiodinium

    The life stages of dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium. (A) Electron micrographs of a Symbiodinium mastigote (motile cell) with characteristic gymnodinioid morphology (S. natans) and (B) the coccoid cell in hospite. As free-living cells the mastigote allows for short-range dispersal and can exhibit chemotaxis toward sources of nitrogen.

  8. Dinokaryota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinokaryota

    Dinokaryota is a main grouping of dinoflagellates. They include all species where the nucleus remains a dinokaryon throughout the entire cell cycle, which is typically dominated by the haploid stage. All the "typical" dinoflagellates, such as Peridinium and Gymnodinium, belong here.

  9. Marine microorganisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_microorganisms

    The suffix -omics can provide an easy shorthand to encapsulate a field; for example, an interactomics study is reasonably recognisable as relating to large-scale analyses of gene-gene, protein-protein, or protein-ligand interactions, while proteomics has become established as a term for studying proteins on a large scale.
