The Goldilocks Effect: The Role of Temperature in Influencing Dinoflagellate Growth [PDF]

Current: The Journal of Marine Education
Coral reef ecosystems, often referred to as the ‘rainforests of the sea,’ are vibrant ecosystems formed by millions of living coral polyps. Despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs deliver vital benefits, including shoreline ...

Some Insights into the Inventiveness of Dinoflagellates: Coming Back to the Cell Biology of These Protists [PDF]

Microorganisms
In this review dedicated to the great protistologist Edouard Chatton (1883–1947), I wanted to highlight the originality and remarkable diversity of some dinoflagellate protists through the lens of cell biology.

Vitamin B12-auxotrophy in dinoflagellates caused by incomplete or absent cobalamin-independent methionine synthase genes (metE)

Fundamental Research, 2022
Dinoflagellates are responsible for most marine harmful algal blooms (HABs) and play vital roles in many ocean processes. More than 90% of dinoflagellates are vitamin B12 auxotrophs and that B12 availability can control dinoflagellate HABs, yet the ...

OMICS Approaches to Assess Dinoflagellate Responses to Chemical Stressors

Biology, 2023
Dinoflagellates are important primary producers known to form Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). In water, nutrient availability, pH, salinity and anthropogenic contamination constitute chemical stressors for them.

Phytoplankton composition and abundance as indicators of aquaculture effluents impact in coastal environments of mid Gulf of California

Heliyon, 2021
Composition and abundance of phytoplankton in two areas of Gulf of California, one near (ND) and one far (FD) from shrimp farms discharge, were studied in 3 seasons: late fall (farms finishing operations); spring (farms not operating); and summer (farms ...

Hiddenocysta matsuokae gen. nov. et sp. nov. from the Holocene of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

, 2021
A new dinoflagellate cyst genus and species are described here as Hiddenocysta gen. nov. and Hiddenocysta matsuokae sp. nov. from Holocene sediments in a core from the west coast of Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada).

Change in rheotactic behavior patterns of dinoflagellates in response to different microfluidic environments

Scientific Reports, 2021
Plankton live in dynamic fluid environments. Their ability to change in response to different hydrodynamic cues is critical to their energy allocation and resource uptake.

Molecular detection of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in surface waters of the Patagonian shelf during early austral summer 2008. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
We investigated the distribution of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in the Patagonian Shelf region using "universal" PCR primers for the dinoflagellate luciferase gene.

Islandinium pacificum sp. nov., a new dinoflagellate cyst from the upper Quaternary of the northeast Pacific [PDF]

, 2020
Round brown process-bearing cysts (RBPC) produced by dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae) occur as an important part of assemblage diversities in seafloor sediments worldwide. Here a new species, Islandinium pacificum, is described from surface sediment samples

Gene duplication is the primary driver of intraspecific genomic divergence in coral algal symbionts

Open Biology, 2023
Dinoflagellates in the order Suessiales include the family Symbiodiniaceae, which have essential roles as photosymbionts in corals, and their cold-adapted sister group, Polarella glacialis.
