Description Cells oval, dorsoventrally flattened. Epicone crescent-shaped, clearly deflected towards the left. Cingulum beginning 0.3–0.4 of the cell length from the apex, midway across the ventral face, ascending initially, then descending on the ventral side; distal end 0.5 of the cell length from the apex. Sulcus beginning 1–2 μm below the proximal end of the cingulum, continuing to the posterior. Nucleus rounded, in the hypocone. Division by binary fission in the motile cell.  [details]

Description Cells oval, dorsoventrally flattened. Epicone crescent-shaped, clearly deflected towards the left. Cingulum beginning 0.3–0.4 of the cell length from the apex, midway across the ventral face, ascending initially, then descending on the ventral side; distal end 0.5 of the cell length from the apex. Sulcus beginning 1–2 μm below the proximal end of the cingulum, continuing to the posterior. Nucleus rounded, in the hypocone. Division by binary fission in the motile cell.  [details]

Harmful effect Haemolysins have been isolated and fish toxicity is also known. [details]

Identification Similar species: Amphidinium massartii. Remarks: There are at least 4 distinct genotypes of this species (Murray et al. 2004, Murray et al. 2012).  [details]

Verified sequences xxx [details]

Unverified
Diet general for group: both heterotrophic (eat other organisms) and autotrophic (photosynthetic) [details]

Habitat pelagic [details]

Importance General: known for producing dangerous toxins, particularly when in large numbers, called "red tides" because the cells are so abundant they make water change color. Also they can produce non-fatal or fatal amounts of toxins in predators (particularly shellfish) that may be eaten by humans. [details]

Predators marine microorganisms and animal larvae [details]

Reproduction general for group: both sexual and asexual [details]
