Peridinium is a genus of motile, marine and freshwater dinoflagellates. [1][2] Their morphology is considered typical of the armoured dinoflagellates, and their form is commonly used in diagrams of a dinoflagellate's structure. [1][3] Peridinium can range from 30 to 70 μm in diameter, and has very thick thecal plates. [1][3]

Peridinium, genus of cosmopolitan freshwater dinoflagellates in the family Peridiniaceae, consisting of at least 62 species. Most are found in freshwater lakes, ponds, and pools, though some inhabit brackish environments.

Most Peridinium species are found in fresh or brackish waters, and cannot tolerate high salinity levels. The genus is nearly cosmopolitan in hard waters rich in calcium, but can also be found in waters of low pH and low nutrients.

Feb 7, 2012 · There are a few keys to species within genera; Lefèvre (1932) for Peridinium and Christen (1961) for Katodinium are two. Compendia should be consulted for the dinoflagellate species within each genus. Local floras include illustrations and may contain keys to species found in that area.

Dec 14, 2017 · Peridinium cinctum is a common freshwater dinophyte with a long history of research. Erich Lindemann was the first to assess intraspecific variability in this species focusing on plate pattern variation.

Apr 14, 2016 · In this research, taxonomic status of Protoperidinium was clarified by tracing its taxonomic history, 23 species belong to genus Protoperidinium on the coasts of China were preliminarily identified, and morphological description and plate patterns were given for …

Peridinium is a dinoflagellate with thick, armored plates that are often lobed and ornamented. The sutures are quite noticeable, and the cingulum is nearly at the cell median. The cells may be generally round to oval-shaped or flattened, with a convex dorsal surface and a …
