Phylum Pyrrhophyta - Dinoflagellates Unicellular, photosynthetic, mostly marine, some bioluminescent Distinctive flagella and coat two flagella beat in grooves coat composed of cellulose plates Most use chlorophyll a & c and carotenoids Some are symbiotic with animals sea anemones, mollusks and corals in corals - called “zooxanthellae”, required for formation of coral reefs Some forms cause “red tide” large blooms result in red colored water release toxins that kill fish and shellfish consumption of poisoned fish can kill Reproduce primarily asexually by longitudinal cell division with nuclear mitosis - like fungi
Phylum Euglenophyta - Euglenoids Mostly fresh water organisms Group has characteristics of plants and animals Some specimens are photosynthetic use chlorophylls a and b, and carotenoids Others lack chloroplasts and are heterotrophic Some can transform from autotrophs to heterotrophs and back, depending on presence of light and food Reproduction via nuclear mitosis and cell division No sexual reproduction known
