- Gymnodinium - Gymnodinium is a genus of dinoflagellates. It is one of the few naked dinoflagellates lacking armor (cellulosic plates).
- Oodinium - Oödinium (also known as Piscinoodinium) is a genus of microscopic parasitic dinoflagellates. They live off salt and fresh water fish, causing a type of fish velvet disease (also called gold dust disease).
- Alpha solenoid - An alpha solenoid is a protein fold found in the protein subunits of light-harvesting complexes, particularly in the peridinin chlorophyll proteins of dinoflagellates, and as domains of larger eukaryotic proteins that make up the nuclear pore complex. The fold consists of alpha helices arranged in a curved pattern that resembles a jelly roll fold.
- Dinocyst - Dinocysts are produced by around 10% of living Dinoflagellates as a dormant zygotic stage of their lifecycle. The next-generation Dinoflagellate exits the cyst (excysts) via the archaeopyle, a hole which may take the form of the removal of the apex of the cyst (apical archaeopyle), or the removal of one of the tabulæ (Precingular archæpyle ...
- Amnesic shellfish poisoning - Amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) is one of the four recognised syndromes of shellfish poisoning, which are primarily associated with bivalve mollusks (such as mussels, clams, oysters and scallops). These shellfish are filter feeders and, therefore, accumulate toxins produced by microscopic algae in the form of dinoflagellates and diatoms.
