A bio-luminescent dinoflagellate that is one of the coolest microalgae ever cultured. These organisms release photons of light similar to a lightning bug when shaken.
Pyrocystis fusiformis is a non-motile, tropical, epipelagic, marine dinoflagellate (flagellate microorganisms), reaching lengths of up to 1 mm. They are especially interesting to many because of their bioluminescent nature which is displayed when P. fusiformis is disturbed or agitated. In the coastal marine waters, this dinoflagellate causes glowing effects after dark.
This culture grows really really really slowly, and it likes to get infections with bacteria.
