Gymnodinium

Freshwater Biology

Abstract

The dinoflagellate genus Gymnodinium is a complex assemblage of species. Clearly, not all species are evolutionarily related but many representatives are providing valuable insight into fundamental phylogenetic and biochemical questions. Taxa assigned to this genus are known to be toxin producers of extreme importance to biomedicine.
