Dinoflagellates
Posted by bhavin | Posted on 10:02 PM
Dinoflagellates are the single celled protists that show a great amount of diversity in their form. The largest of them, Noctiluca, has a 2mm diameter. These creates are definitely not large than the human standards but they do have a big impact on their surrounding environments. Most of them are photosynthetic in nature that is they prepare their own food with the help of sun light and eventually providing a food source for the other organisms. Through bioluminescence, some of the species have the ability to produce their own light. There are some dinoflagellates which can be found as parasites on fish and on other protists.
The most striking effect of the dinoflagellates on the life in their region can be seen from the marine species especially during the hot summers. They reproduction of these species is very fast due to which the water appears red or golden, and produces a “red tide”. This put many other type of marine life in grave danger and they suffer from the dinoflagellates as they produce neurotoxin, which is the major cause of danger to the marine life. Human begins also get affected indirectly by eating fish which contains the toxins. “Ciguatera” and “paralytic shellfish poisoning” are the common disease by which human being suffer after eating this fish.
