The microscopic algae, known as dinoflagellates, were engulfed by cells cultured from the stony coral, Acropora tenuis, the scientists reported in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.

The effort has uncovered for the first time the biology and evolution of dinoflagellates, tiny but complex organisms primarily known as marine plankton. The findings could lead to a better ...

Marine alveolates (MALVs) are diverse and widespread early-branching dinoflagellates, but most knowledge of the group comes from a few cultured species that are generally not abundant in natural ...

“Dinoflagellates are one of the most common sources of bioluminescence on the surface of freshwater and marine water are known for causing colored blooms in marine and freshwater,” Buhidar sai ...
