Gymnodinium is a genus of dinoflagellates, which are single-celled microorganisms found in marine and freshwater environments. Some species within this genus are known for their role in harmful algal blooms, producing toxins that can affect marine life and human health. Additionally, Gymnodinium species contribute to the marine food web, serving as a food source for various organisms. They also play a role in biogeochemical cycles, influencing nutrient dynamics in aquatic ecosystems.
