The role of toxin biosynthesis for marine dinoflagellates - an evolutionary ecological approach [ 2012 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Dr Shauna Murray

Brief description Dinoflagellates are a group of microalgae that include coral symbionts and phytoplankton. Many species produce potent toxins that can be a problem in the aquaculture industry. This project will use novel genetic methods to investigate the evolution and ecology of toxin production in a variety of marine dinoflagellates.
