Harmful effect Intraperitoneal injection of methanol extracts are toxic tomice. Ingested cells can cause detrimental effects in molluscs. Some strains excrete substances toxic to Artemia-nauplii. [details]
Harmful effect Some earlier reports of P. minimum toxicity are erroneous due to the co-occurrence of e.g. toxic Dinophysis cells, e.g., Kat M. 1985.

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]
