Pyrocystis fusiformis
| This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. (February 2009) |
Pyrocystis fusiformis is a non-motile, tropical, epipelagic, bioluminescent, marine dinoflagellate (flagellate microorganisms), reaching lengths of up to 1 mm. They are especially interesting to many because of their bioluminescent nature. In the coastal marine waters, this dinoflagellate causes glowing effects after dark.
