“…Several molecular studies of plastid encoding genes in Dinophysis species have indicated the presence of cryptophyte plastids usually of a Teleaulax amphioxeia or Geminigera cryophila type (Takishita et al, 2002;Hackett et al, 2003;Garcia-Cuetos et al, 2010;Minnhagen and Janson, 2006;Nishitani et al, 2010;Qiu et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2012a;Raho et al, 2014;Stern et al, 2014). Plastid sequences representative of several other algal taxa (the cryptophytes Chroomonas sp., Proteomonas sulcata, Teleaulax acuta, and Rhodomonas/Storeatula; chlorophyte, florideophyte, haptophyte, raphidophyte, and cyanobacterium) have been reported to accompany the T. amphioxeia and/or G. cryophila sequences (Takishita et al, 2002;Minnhagen and Janson, 2006;Nishitani et al, 2010;Qiu et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2012a;Stern et al, 2014).…”
