During photosynthesis at high light intensities dangerous oxygen radicals can form inside cells. Dinoflagellates have a unique light-harvesting complex (antenna) which can divert superfluous energy ...

An international team of researchers has generated the most robust genome to date of the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium microadriaticum, a species involved in a life-supporting symbiosis with corals.

A single-celled creature known as a dinoflagellate may have one of the weirdest genomes on Earth, The Scientist reported. Dinoflagellates are eukaryotes, but unlike the chromosomes found in humans, ...

Highly organised gene patterns and rod-shaped chromosomes set the genome of one species of dinoflagellates apart from other eukaryotes. “The genome for S. microadriaticum had already been sequenced ...
