Description Large bag-shaped cell with well-developed sulcal lists. Cells 60–80 μm in length and 33–40 μm in dorso-ventral depth. Cells long and subovate ending in a broadly rounded posterior (a dorsal bulge). The posterior end is the widest. Left sulcal list well developed and very long; it can extend up to 4/5 of the cell. Thick thecal plates of the hypotheca deeply areolated, each areola with a pore. Small form of D. fortii considered for a long time as a distinct species (D. lapidistrigiliformis).
[details]
Description Medium-sized cell, broadly subovoid, widest posteriorly. Dorsal margin curved and ventral margin almost straight. Left sulcal list long and can be up to four-fifths of the cell length. Right sulcal list also well developed and can extend beyond the Rl. Surface with deep poroids, each with a pore. Surface markings of type E. [details]
Distribution neritic and oceanic; cold temperate to tropical waters worldwide [details]
Harmful effect The first species of Dinophysis identified as the causative agent of DSP outbreaks(Yasumoto et al. 1980). Producer of okadaic acid (OA), dinophysis toxins (DTX1)and pectenotoxins (PTX2), toxins implicated in DSP. The main agent of DSP outbreaks in Japan and the Adriatic Sea. Accompanies other species of Dinophysis during DSP events in many parts of the world.
Analyses of picked cells by HPLC-FD showed some Japanese strains contained OA (23 pg/cell) and other contained very high levels of DTX1 (13-191.5 pg/cell) and PTX2 (42.5 pg/cell) (Lee et al. 1989). More recent analyses by LC-MS showed cells containing DTX1 (8-11 pg/cell) and PTX2 (51-64 pg/cell) (Suzuki et al. 2009). Populations from the Adriatic Sea had dominance of PTX but also contained OA (15 pg/cell) (Draisci et al. 1996). [details]

Synonymy Apparently no recent synonym other than Dinophysis lapidistrigiliformis Abé, reported by some authors as 'small cells' in the life cycle of D. fortii (Fukuyo et al. 1981, Otsuchi Mar. Res. Cent., Rep. 7: 3-23; Uchida et al. 1999, Bull. Fish. Environ. Inland Sea 1: 163-165). [details]Unreviewed
Diet general for group: both heterotrophic (eat other organisms) and autotrophic (photosynthetic) [details]
Habitat pelagic [details]
Importance General: known for producing dangerous toxins, particularly when in large numbers, called "red tides" because the cells are so abundant they make water change color. Also they can produce non-fatal or fatal amounts of toxins in predators (particularly shellfish) that may be eaten by humans. [details]
Predators marine microorganisms and animal larvae [details]
Reproduction general for group: both sexual and asexual [details]
