Description: Article by Jean-Marie Cavanihac with much information on these organisms which can cause blooms in the ocean, with several photographs.
by Jean-Marie Cavanihac, France What a strange name, it sounds like an extinct species of dinosaur! But they are microscopic 'algae', (in fact they are included in the Protista kingdom), which have the particular feature of possessing two flagella. There's a subtle difference between cilia (as present in some protozoa) and flagella, in that the latter is longer and produces accordingly longer 'waves'.
