    Dinoflagellate

    Phylum of Alveolata

    The dinoflagellates are a monophyletic group of single-celled eukaryotes constituting the phylum Dinoflagellata and are usually considered protists. Dinoflagellates are mostly marine plankton, but they are also common in freshwater habitats. Their populations vary with sea surface temperature, salinity, and depth. Many dinoflagellates are photosynthetic, but a large fraction of these are in fact mixotrophic, combining photosynthesis with ingestion of prey. In terms of number of species, dinoflagellates are one of the largest groups of marine eukaryotes, although substantially smaller than diatoms. Some species are endosymbionts of marine animals and play an important part in the biology of coral reefs. Other dinoflagellates are unpigmented predators on other protozoa, and a few forms are parasitic. Wikipedia

    Dinoflagellate. A dinoflagellate is a flagellate algae characterized by their two flagella of unequal length. One of the flagella is lying in the groove around the body and the other is extending from the center. It also has an armor-like shell or pellicle, a dinokaryon, and dinoflagellate toxin. Many of them are photosynthetic. The pigments ...

    Mar 22, 2024Dinoflagellata life cycle: 1-mitosis, 2-sexual reproduction, 3-planozygote, 4-hypnozygote, 5-planomeiocyte In summary, the reproductive strategies of dinoflagellates are intricately linked to their environment. Their ability to switch between asexual and sexual reproduction, coupled with their adaptive responses to environmental stressors ...
  8. The majority of dinoflagellate species are marine, and together with coccolithophores and diatoms they make up the most important primary producers in the oceans. Dinoflagellates are also common in freshwater lakes, rivers and bogs and can occur in blooms of sufficient concentration to discolour the water, producing what are known as "red tides".
