Ceratium Furca
''Ceratium furca'' is a species of marine dinoflagellates. Description This species has a straight body which is 70-200 μm long and 30-50 μm wide, with the epitheca gradually tapering into an anterior horn. ''C. furca'' has long spines, and is an "armoured" species with a theca of thick cellulose Cellulose is an organic compound with the chemical formula, formula , a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of glycosidic bond, β(1→4) linked glucose, D-glucose units. Cellulose is an important s ... plates. The cells are nearly flat, with the ventral side concave and the dorsal side being convex. Distribution ''Ceratium furca'' is found worldwide.

Ceratocoryaceae
''Ceratocorys'' is a genus of photosynthetic free-living marine dinoflagellates first described in 1883 by Friedrich Stein. Currently consisting of 12 species, this genus is typically found at the water surface in tropical and subtropical ocean regions, and has both low nutrient requirements and salinity sensitivity. All species in the genus have a theca; 29 membrane-bound armored plates with anywhere from 2 to 6 spines protruding from the cell. They reproduce through binary fission at temperatures above 20 °C during asexual reproduction and whether or not they have sexual reproduction is not known. Due to its bioluminescent capabilities, the type species of this genus, '' Ceratocorys horrida'', has many practical applications. Its bioluminescent response to water flow means it can act as a model organism for understanding planktonic reaction to water movement. It is also sensitive to environmental molecules; by measuring the bioluminescent response it can be used in rapid to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
