#Noctiluca scintillans has been in the news lately. Called sea-sparkle for its bioluminescence. It's a heterotrophic (no photosynthesis) athecate (no shell) #dinoflagellate that feeds by phagotrophy (engulfing). Quite large for a single-celled organism, up to 2 mm in diameter. Though not algae it can form colorful orange harmful blooms by releasing ammonium toxic to invertebrate and fish gills. #HABs
Also available as a giant microbe plush.

Using #SeaAnemone Aiptasia as a model for the #coral-#Dinoflagellate system, @Guse_Lab asks why LAMP1-coated #symbionts are tolerated, while non-symbionts are ejected via #vomocytosis - symbiont seems to suppress host immune system; host mTOR signalling also key. #EESSymbiosis

I’m still on that steep dinoflagellate cysts learning curve ! Here are some spikey fellas from my latest sample.

A new species of #dinoflagellate, Prorocentrum cryophilum, has been described from a strain isolated from Antarctic waters and available from the Roscoff Culture Collection #rcc RCC6872.
The paper is co-authored by Priscillia Gourvil from the RCC who isolated this new species.
