Importance of organism and transcriptomes | Akashiwo sanguinea is a common bloom-forming dinoflagellate that has been implicated in fish kills. It is at best a nuisance organism, but in 2009 it was shown to produce proteinaceous surfactants that caused sea bird feathers to saturate with water; many birds died subsequently of hypothermia (Jessup et al. 2009). Morphologically it is very much gymnodinialean, but phylogenetic trees based on rRNA genes have not been able to place the genus with any degree of certainty. Nevertheless it does not seem to be a member of the Gymnodinium clade. |
