Polykrikos kofoidii Chatton, 1914[2] | |
Polykrikos kofoidii is a phagotrophic marine pseudocolonial dinoflagellate that can capture and engulf other protist prey including the toxic dinoflagellate, Alexandrium tamarense.[3][4] P. kofoidii is of scientific interest due to its status as a predator of other dinoflagellates, a behavior that is significant in the control of algal blooms.[5][6][7]
