Noctilucales - Wikipedia The most common species is Noctiluca scintillans, also called N miliaris Blooms of this species are red-orange and can be bioluminescent when disturbed, [4] as are various other dinoflagellates, and large blooms can sometimes be seen as flickering lights on the ocean, known as the milky seas effect
EOS - Phytoplankton Encyclopedia Project (Guiry and Guiry 2012) Lifestyle Noctiluca scintillans is an athecate heterotrophic dinoflagellate that feeds by phagotrophy (Kraberg et al 2010) It reproduces sexually by formation of Close Isogamy The simplest type of sexual reproduction between gametes that are similar in size and shape
Tracking “Blue Tear” Blooms - NASA Science Mariners have long noticed that the sea sometimes sparkles at night with an ethereal blue glow, especially after boats, waves, or even swimmers disturb the water Single-celled organisms known as Noctiluca scintillans —a type of dinoflagellate phytoplankton —is responsible for the glow

Noctiluca - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics The dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans is a part of the phytoplankton community (taxonomically) This species feeds on phytoplankton for which the concentration of nutrients, the level of photosynthetically active radiation and mixing of the upper layers are proxy for primary production
