Biosynthesis of Saxitoxin in Marine Dinoflagellates: An Omics Perspective
Marine Drugs, 2020 Saxitoxin is an alkaloid neurotoxin originally isolated from the clam Saxidomus giganteus in 1957. This group of neurotoxins is produced by several species of freshwater cyanobacteria and marine dinoflagellates.

The Goldilocks Effect: The Role of Temperature in Influencing Dinoflagellate Growth [PDF]
Current: The Journal of Marine EducationCoral 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]
MicroorganismsIn 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.

Differences in the chemical composition of organic-walled dinoflagellate resting cysts from phototrophic and heterotrophic dinoflagellates [PDF]
Journal of Phycology, 2013 Dinoflagellates constitute a large proportion of the planktonic biomass from marine to freshwater environments. Some species produce a preservable organic-walled resting cyst (dinocyst) during the sexual phase of their life cycle that is an important ...

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.

Feeding diverse prey as an excellent strategy of mixotrophic dinoflagellates for global dominance
Science Advances, 2021 Mixotrophic dinoflagellate species with low or moderate growth rates but diverse prey cause red tides globally. Microalgae fuel food webs and biogeochemical cycles of key elements in the ocean.
