From regional or thematic species database
Description Cell ± elliptic with straight sides and the anterior end often angled; thecal plates fairly thick and lacking obvious pores (microscopic pores may be present - Dodge, 1965); plate-like chloroplasts two, supporting large central pyrenoid; trichocysts absent; length 22-25 μm, width 16 μm.  [details]

Harmful effect Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning (DSP) [details]

Harmful effect Tindall et al. (1989) in an abstract reported the presence of two unnamed toxins in a culture identified as P. cassubicum. This needs to be confirmed.
The strain SAG: B 40.80 (Sammlungen von Algenkulturen at the University of Göttingen) received 1977 from Provasoli does not produce okadaic acid and DTX1 or DTX2 as revealed by HPLC analyses. [details]

Identification This has many similarities with P. lima but differs slightly in shape and also in lack of trichocysts.  [details]
