English-language taxonomic monographs covering large numbers of species are published for the Gulf of Mexico, [45] the Indian Ocean, [46] the British Isles, [47] the Mediterranean [48] and the North Sea. [49] The main source for identification of freshwater dinoflagellates is the Süsswasser Flora. [50]
Gonyaulax is a genus of dinoflagellates with the type species Gonyaulax spinifera (Claparède et Lachmann) Diesing. Gonyaulax belongs to red dinoflagellates and commonly causes red tides. It can produce yesotoxins: for example, strains of Gonyaulax spinifera from New Zealand are yessotoxin producers. [4]
Ceratium species belong to the group of dinoflagellates known as dinophysiales, meaning they contain armored plates. [2] They contain a pellicle, which is a shell, that is made from the cell membrane and vesicles; vesicles are composed of cross-linked cellulose , forming the plates. [ 2 ]
Lingulodinium polyedra is a species of motile photosynthetic dinoflagellates. L. polyedra are often the cause of red tides in southern California, leading to bioluminescent displays on beaches at night.

Zooxanthellae (/ ˌ z oʊ ə z æ n ˈ θ ɛ l iː /; sg. zooxanthella) is a colloquial term for single-celled dinoflagellates that are able to live in symbiosis with diverse marine invertebrates including demosponges, corals, jellyfish, and nudibranchs.
Dinophysis is a genus of dinoflagellates [1] [2] [3] common in tropical, temperate, coastal and oceanic waters. [4] It was first described in 1839 by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg. [5] Dinophysis are typically medium-sized cells (30-120 μm). [5] The structural plan and plate tabulation are conserved within the genus. [4]
Dinoflagellates(Dinoflagellata) are a phylum of Alveolates eukaryotes. The taxon is subdivided in 8 classes (Ellobiophyceae, Psammosea, Oxyrrhea, Pronoctilucea, Duboscquellea, Syndiniophyceae, Noctiluciphyceae and Dinophyceae).
