Blooms of Alexandrium spp. are a well-known phenomenon in Northern European waters. While A. tamarense/catenella, and A. pseudogonyaulax have been reported from marine waters, high densities of A. ostenfeldii are mainly observed at lower salinities in

Two important competitive traits in protists, particularly in harmful algal bloom forming species, are lytic toxicity and mixotrophy. This study focuses on Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax, a dinoflagellate species that is both toxic and mixotrophic, and in

Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax (Biecheler) Horiguchi ex Yuki et Fukuyo (Gonyaulacales, Dinophyceae) is a phototrophic marine dinoflagellate that produces an unusual paratabulate resting cyst. Studies of vegetative and sexual reproduction were conducted on

During a survey of the production of goniodomin A (GDA) by Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax in Danish coastal waters, Krock et al. (2018) obtained mass spectral evidence for the presence of a truncated congener, herein termed GD754, having a molecular weight

The dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium is one of the major harmful algal bloom (HAB) genera with respect to the diversity, magnitude and consequences of blooms. The ability of Alexandrium to colonize multiple habitats and to persist over large regions through

The dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium is one of the major harmful algal bloom (HAB) genera with respect to the diversity, magnitude and consequences of blooms. The ability of Alexandrium to colonize multiple habitats and to persist over large regions through

Studies considering the biology and ecology of the toxic bloom-forming species, Alexandrium pseudogonyaulax, are rare. Our results highlight five features not described before in A. pseudogonyaulax life cycle: (i) A. pseudogonyaulax gametes showed two
