I am not a human being so please do not write me directly Noctiluca bloom winters often bring massive blooms of the dinoflagellate, noctiluca scintillans, to the arabian sea I run automatically as a moderator, hence my name automod.
Noctiluca scintillans is a marine species of dinoflagellate that can exist in a green or red form, depending on the pigmentation in its vacuoles
It can be found worldwide, but its geographical distribution varies depending on whether it is green or red
This unicellular microorganism is known for its ability to bioluminesce, giving the water a bright blue glow seen at night The latest posts from @nyctiluna The cell's close epicone in naked dinoflagellates, the anterior part of a dinokont cell above the cingulum The equivalent of an epitheca for thecate dinoflagellates
Epicone and close hypocone in naked dinoflagellates, the posterior part of a dinokont cell above the cingulum The equivalent of a hypotheca for thecate. Noctiluca scintillans (red) is a widely distributed heterotrophic dinoflagellate and a prominent red tide forming species
