MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF THE SPINY-SURFACED SPECIES OF THE DINOFLAGELLATE PROROCENTRUM WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF P. THERMOPHILUM SP. NOV. AND P. CRIOPHILUM SP. NOV. (PROROCENTRALES, DINOPHYCEAE)

Fernando Gomez et al.

Summary: Spiny-surfaced species of Prorocentrum form harmful algal blooms, and its taxonomic identity is obscured. Molecular phylogenies reveal two major clades: P. cordatum and P. shikokuense. Two new species, Prorocentrum thermophilum and Prorocentrum criophilum, are described.

Cell fine structure and phylogeny of Parvodinium: towards an ultrastructural characterization of the Peridiniopsidaceae (Dinophyceae)

Mariana S. Pandeirada et al.

Summary: Recent molecular phylogenies have identified the closest relatives of the Parvodinium genus to be Peridiniopsis, Palatinus, and Johsia. These taxa are now recognized as a family, Peridiniopsidaceae, and their affinity challenges traditional boundaries based on amphiesma features. This study provides a detailed description of a species within the Parvodinium umbonatum-inconspicuum complex, including its fine structure. The findings reveal similarities in the fibrous complex and pusular system to other peridinioids, but also distinctive features such as a long microtubular strand.

Morphological and Phylogenetic Characterisation of Prorocentrum spinulentum, sp. nov. (Prorocentrales, Dinophyceae), a Small Spiny Species from the North Atlantic

Urban Tillmann et al.

Summary: A new species, Prorocentrum spinulentum, from the North Atlantic is described in this study. It is distinct from other small Prorocentrum species based on cell morphology and DNA analysis. This study increases and improves our understanding of the diversity within this important group of planktonic organisms.

Trait trade-offs in phagotrophic microalgae: the mixoplankton conundrum

Aditee Mitra et al.

Summary: Analysis of trait trade-offs helps simplify and understand the complexities of ecology. The presence and diversity of mixoplankton in surface ocean waters can be explained by their evolution from different lineages and their ability to function competitively in mature ecosystems. However, there is no clear evidence to support trait trade-off arguments in plankton research, except for acquired phototrophy in mixoplanktonic ciliates versus zooplanktonic ciliates.

The Mixoplankton Database (MDB): Diversity of photo-phago-trophic plankton in form, function, and distribution across the global ocean

Aditee Mitra et al.

Summary: This research discovered that protist plankton can perform both photosynthesis and food uptake, and they are called mixoplankton. This finding changes the structure of marine food webs. The researchers created a comprehensive database of mixoplankton, which helps scientists understand the physiological traits and trophic interactions of these organisms, as well as identify knowledge gaps.

Low rates of bacterivory enhances phototrophy and competitive advantage for mixoplankton growing in oligotrophic waters

Aditee Mitra et al.

Summary: With climate change, nutrient limitation in oceans is increasing, promoting the growth of prokaryotic picoplankton at the expense of larger protist plankton. Constitutive mixoplankton (CM) feed on these picoplankton and their low feeding rates have been quantified for the first time. The study finds that the contributions of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from ingested prokaryotes are significant for CM growth.

Clarifying confusion - Prorocentrum triestinum J.Schiller and Prorocentrum redfieldii Bursa (Prorocentrales, Dinophyceae) are two different species

Urban Tillmann et al.

Summary: The Prorocentrales are a unique group of dinophytes with challenging species delimitation. Prorocentrum triestinum and Prorocentrum redfieldii are distinct species characterized by differences in cell morphology, specifically in their asymmetry and spine length and location. Their primary rRNA sequences differ, allowing them to be distinguished in future studies.

Mucospheres produced by a mixotrophic protist impact ocean carbon cycling

Michaela E. Larsson et al.

Summary: The authors describe the sophisticated feeding strategy of a mixotrophic dinoflagellate and its impact on the vertical flux of carbon. The mixotrophic dinoflagellate produces carbon-rich 'mucospheres' that attract and capture microbial prey, contributing significantly to the oceanic carbon flux. This study highlights the importance of complex foraging behavior in the vertical transport of carbon in the ocean.

Spatio-temporal dynamics and biogeochemical properties of green seawater discolorations caused by the marine dinoflagellate Lepidodinium chlorophorum along southern Brittany coast

Pauline Roux et al.

Summary: Blooms of Lepidodinium chlorophorum, a marine dinoflagellate, cause green seawater discolorations in southern Brittany, affecting recreational activities and tourism economy. The species is most abundant from May to November, with peak abundance in June-July. Tidal currents and stratification play important roles in the distribution of the bloom, while high concentrations of phosphate, ammonium, and TEP are recorded within the bloom. Bacterial stimulation and TEP production contribute to the sustainment of the bloom, with potential negative effects on the environment and biological resources through hypoxia.

The loss of mixotrophy in Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax: Implications for trade-offs between toxicity, mucus trap production, and phagotrophy

Hannah E. Blossom et al.

Summary: The study on Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax demonstrates that mixotrophy is more beneficial than lytic toxicity and mucus trap production. Despite a strain losing its mixotrophic ability, it exhibited higher lytic toxicity, yet was unable to outcompete faster growing competitors.

Transcriptome profiling reveals versatile dissolved organic nitrogen utilization, mixotrophy, and N conservation in the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum shikokuense under N deficiency

Hongfei Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the transcriptomic responses of Prorocentrum shikokuense to nitrogen deficiency, showing that the species copes with low nitrogen by maximizing nitrogen acquisition and reuse while maintaining carbon fixation through various strategies. This remarkable adaptability may confer competitive advantages to P. shikokuense for forming harmful algal blooms in nitrogen-limited environments.

Plasticity and Multiplicity of Trophic Modes in the Dinoflagellate Karlodinium and Their Pertinence to Population Maintenance and Bloom Dynamics

Huijiao Yang et al.

Summary: With the increasing documentation of mixotrophic protists, mixoplankton has emerged as a new paradigm and research hotspot in aquatic plankton ecology. Among mixoplankton, dinoflagellates are a dominant group and Karlodinium species have been intensively studied for their phagotrophic trophic modes, which exhibit characteristics such as omnivority, flexibility in phagotrophic mechanisms, and cannibalism. However, further research is needed on the trophic modes of recently described and less studied species within the genus Karlodinium.

Phylogeography and Diversity Among Populations of the Toxigenic Benthic Dinoflagellate Prorocentrum From Coastal Reef Systems in Mexico

Allan D. Cembella et al.

Summary: This study addressed the inter- and infraspecific relationships of members of the Prorocentrum lima and Prorocentrum hoffmannianum species complexes by applying multivariate approaches in morphotaxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, and chemodiversity. It demonstrated that phylogenetic analysis of the ITS/5.8S rDNA, particularly when combined with secondary structure modeling, is a powerful approach to identify cryptic speciation and resolve species complexes within benthic dinoflagellate groups.
