Prorocentrales
The Prorocentrales are a small order of dinoflagellates. They are distinguished by having their two flagella inserted apically, rather than ventrally as in other groups. One flagellum extends forward and the other circles its base, and there are no flagellar grooves. This arrangement is called desmokont, in contrast to the dinokont arrangement found in other groups. Accordingly, the Prorocentrales may be called desmoflagellates, and in some classifications were treated as a separate class Desmophyceae. All members have chloroplasts and a theca, which is composed of two large plates joined by a sagittal suture. This structure is shared with the Dinophysiales, and they are probably sister groups. This does not show up on rRNA trees, which also show two separate groups of ''Prorocentrum The Prorocentrales are a small order of dinoflagellates.

Noctiluca Scintillans
''Noctiluca scintillans'' is a marine species of dinoflagellate that can exist in a green or red form, depending on the pigmentation in its vacuoles. It can be found worldwide, but its geographical distribution varies depending on whether it is green or red. This unicellular microorganism is known for its ability to bioluminesce, giving the water a bright blue glow seen at night. However, blooms of this species can be responsible for environmental hazards, such as toxic red tides. They may also be an indicator of anthropogenic eutrophication. Etymology The name ''Noctiluca scintillans'' comes from Latin; ''Noctiluca'' means "light, light at night" and ''scintillans'' means "shining, throwing out flashes of light". Description Taxonomy It was classified with the jellyfish until 1873 when Haeckel then decided to move it to the crystoflagellates with the dinoflagellates. This remained the case until 1920 when Kofoid finally placed it in the order Noctilucales following certa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
