Importance of organism and transcriptomesAlexandrium fundyense is an armoured marine autotrophic dinoflagellate species that occurs in coastal areas around the world. It has two modes of reproduction: it may reproduce asexually by binary fission, which may lead to rapid population growth and dense red-tide coastal blooms, or it may reproduce sexually, which results in the formation of resting cysts. Alexandrium fundyense produces potent neurotoxic compounds (saxitoxins) that can have serious deleterious effects on other marine organisms and, upon consumption of vector species, may be fatal to humans.
