Over the past two decades, many reports have revealed the existence of bacteria capable of
killing phytoplankton. These algicidal bacteria sometimes increase in abundance …

It is considered self-evident that chemical interactions are a component of competition in
terrestrial systems, but they are largely unknown in aquatic systems. In this review, we …

Syndiniales are a parasitic order within the eukaryotic lineage Dinophyceae (Alveolata).
Here, we analysed the taxonomy of this group using 43655 18S rRNA gene sequences …

The marine dinoflagellates commonly responsible for toxic red tides are parasitized by other
dinoflagellate species. Using culture-independent environmental ribosomal RNA sequences …

Like any other living organisms, algae are plagued by diseases caused by fungi, protists,
bacteria or viruses. As aquaculture continues to rise worldwide, pathogens of nori or biofuel …

For an algal bloom to develop, the growth rate of the bloom‐forming species must exceed
the sum of all loss processes. Among these loss processes, grazing is generally believed to …

For decades, high densities of the dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum have been
associated with aquatic faunal mortalities worldwide. This small (< 8–12μm) athecate …

Several genera of marine dinoflagellates contain species that have evolved parasitic life
styles. Dinoflagellate infections have been reported for a wide range of host organisms …

Planktonic members of most algal groups are known to harbor intracellular symbionts,
including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Among the dinoflagellates, viral and …

Amoebophrya ceratii (Koeppen) Cachon is an obligate parasite of dinoflagellates and may
represent a species complex. However, little is known about the biology and host range of …
