Examination of the toxicity of a new group of Karenia papilionacea isolated from the Yellow Sea, China, to multiple species of marine aquatic animals [PDF]
IntroductionThe dinoflagellate genus Karenia G. Hansen and Moestrup is notorious for forming harmful algal blooms (HABs), most of which can produce a variety of potent toxins (e.g., brevetoxins), killing fish and other aquatic animals above a certain ...

Microbial and chemical dynamics of a toxic dinoflagellate bloom [PDF]
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) exert considerable ecological and economic damage and are becoming increasingly frequent worldwide. However, the biological factors underlying HABs remain uncertain.

RNA Sequencing Revealed Numerous Polyketide Synthase Genes in the Harmful Dinoflagellate Karenia mikimotoi. [PDF]
The dinoflagellate Karenia mikimotoi forms blooms in the coastal waters of temperate regions and occasionally causes massive fish and invertebrate mortality. This study aimed to elucidate the toxic effect of K.

Are offshore phytoplankton susceptible to Karenia brevis allelopathy? [PDF]
The bloom-forming dinoflagellate Karenia brevis produces a suite of allelopathic compounds that inhibit the growth of several phytoplankton competitors in laboratory experiments. However, it is less clear how allelopathy affects competition in the field, including whether allelopathic compounds impact K. brevis bloom dynamics.

Distinct, Depth-Stratified Communities of Heterotrophic, Mixotrophic, and Parasitic Dinoflagellates and Ciliates in the Subarctic Northeast Pacific Euphotic Zone. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Dinoflagellates and ciliates are important grazers of primary production in the Northeast Pacific but knowledge of their taxonomic composition and depth‐distribution is limited. These organisms also display a variety of heterotrophic feeding modes including heterotrophy, mixotrophy, and parasitism.

Lessening the Hazards of Florida Red Tides: A Common Sense Approach
In the Gulf of Mexico, especially along the southwest Florida coast, blooms of the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis are a coastal natural hazard. The organism produces a potent class of toxins, known as brevetoxins, which are released following cell lysis ...

Abstract The impacts of pulsed nutrient injections or extreme runoff events on marine ecosystems are far less studied than those associated with long‐term eutrophication, particularly in regard to mechanisms regulating the response of plankton community structure.
