text: Free-living dinoflagellates have certain characters that differentiate them from other microalgae: (1) two dissimilar flagella at some point in the life cycle; (2) continually condensed, coiled chromosomes (up to several hundred) during interphase and mitosis; (3) continuous nuclear envelope and presence of a nucleolus during division; (4) lack of histones associated with their DNA; (5) presence of a closed mitosis with an extranuclear spindle; (6) chemical constituents such as peridinin, chlorophylls a and c 2 , dinoxanthophyll, dinosterol, and others; (7) presence of a multilayered, cellulosic (or other polysaccharide) cell covering; (8) distinctive organelles such as trichocysts, nematocysts, pusules, and others; and (9) characteristic life cycle stages (see Dodge 1973, 1983; Steidinger and Cox 1980; Loeblich 1982; Steidinger 1983; Spector 1984; Sigee 1985; Taylor 1987, 1990).
