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 ...

Biosynthesis of Saxitoxin in Marine Dinoflagellates: An Omics Perspective
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]
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]
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.

OMICS Approaches to Assess Dinoflagellate Responses to Chemical Stressors
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.
