Benthic dinoflagellate diversity and mixotrophy: Prorocentrum

Benthic dinoflagellate diversity and mixotrophy: Prorocentrum

Marine benthic dinoflagellates can be found in many different habitats including seaweeds, dead coral and sediments. New species are continuously being described based on morphology and molecular approaches, this is obviously a type of organisms which has been overlooked in many parts of the world....
