Dinoflagellates Summary
735 words, approx. 3 pages
Dinoflagellates are microorganisms that are regarded as algae. Their wide array of exotic shapes and, sometimes, armored appearance is distinct from other algae. The closest microorganism in appearance are the diatoms. Dinoflagellates are single-celled...

The Biological Bulletin
Cephalopod predation facilitated by dinoflagellate luminescence.
12/01/1995: 5,041 words, approx. 17 pages
Predation by nocturnal cephalopods on nonluminous prey was examined in the presence of dinoflagellate bioluminescence. Sepia officinalis Linnaeus and Euprymna scolopes Berry were tested for predation efficiency in darkness illuminated by the luminescent dinoflagellate Pyrocystis fusiformis Murry. Prey were mysids, Holmesimysis sculpta (Tattersall); grass...

The Biological Bulletin
Shear-stress dependence of dinoflagellate bioluminescence.
06/01/2007: 5,504 words, approx. 18 pages
Fluid flow stimulates bioluminescence in dinoflagellates. However, many aspects of the cellular mechanotransduction are incompletely known. The objective of our study was to formally test the hypothesis that flow-stimulated dinoflagellate bioluminescence is dependent on shear stress, signifying that organisms are responding to the applied...
