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 ...

Evolution and Distribution of Saxitoxin Biosynthesis in Dinoflagellates
Marine Drugs, 2013 Numerous species of marine dinoflagellates synthesize the potent environmental neurotoxic alkaloid, saxitoxin, the agent of the human illness, paralytic shellfish poisoning.

Description of Two Species of Early Branching Dinoflagellates, Psammosa pacifica n. g., n. sp. and P. atlantica n. sp [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In alveolate evolution, dinoflagellates have developed many unique features, including the cell that has epicone and hypocone, the undulating transverse flagellum. However, it remains unclear how these features evolved.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...
