Sign in to save

Gymnodinium is a genus of dinoflagellates, a type of marine and freshwater plankton. It is one of the few naked dinoflagellates, or species lacking armor known as cellulosic plates. Since 2000, the species which had been considered to be part of Gymnodinium have been divided into several genera, based on the nature of the apical groove and partial LSU rDNA sequence data. Amphidinium was redefined later. Gymnodinium belong to red dinoflagellates that, in concentration, can cause red tides. The red tides produced by some Gymnodinium, such as Gymnodinium catenatum, are toxic and pose risks to mar

Gymnodinium és un gènere de dinoflagelats, de l'ordre dels gimnodinials.[1] Aquest ordre està constituït per individus unicel·lulars lliures, sense teca, amb el flagel longitudinal filiforme i el transversal cintiforme, propis sobretot del plàncton marí.[2] Per tant, són dels dinoflagelats nus, és a dir, sense "armadura" (plaques de cel·lulosa). Des de l'any 2000, les espècies que formaven part del gènere Gymnodinium s'han dividit en diversos gèneres. La classificació s'ha realitzat basant-se en la naturalesa de la ranura apical i en la bioquímica; en concret, la identitat dels principals carotenoides:[3] Gymnodinium sensu stricto Akashiwo Karenia Karlodinium Takayama Referències A Wikimedia Commons hi ha contingut multimèdia relatiu a: Gymnodinium ↑ Guiry, M.D.; Guiry, G.M. «Gymnodinium».

Amphidinium was redefined later. Gymnodinium belong to red dinoflagellates that, in concentration, can cause red tides. The red tides produced by some Gymnodinium, such as Gymnodinium catenatum, are toxic and pose risks to marine and human life, including paralytic shellfish poisoning.
